"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Subject: A shrill call from Mr. Pace 12/29/2021

Hello Dear,

A shrill call from a distressed Investor in Afghanistan. My Principal became distressed following the abrupt take-over of Kabul by the Taliban,
Business operations have stopped as foreign reserves of Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB), the central bank, have all been frozen.

My principal, an Afghanistan Woman who worked for the United States Army before they closed the Military Base in Afghanistan, wishes to immediately relocate her financial funds and Assets to your country to be reinvested and to start a new life over there. She is open to any profitable venture in your country and ready to start immediately on her relocation plan.
Thanks

Brandon Pace
