"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!

This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down.

Attention: E-mail Beneficiary,

The United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC) has approved payments for
distribution to 8,303 successful claimants. Today's payment is being made
in accordance with the Governing Council's decision which extended the
payment mechanism set out by the Governing Council in its decision under
which up to $200 Billion from the Compensation Fund have been made
available for the payment of claims every quarter. In the present round of
payment, all newly approved claims, i.e. claimants approved for payment at
the eighty-sixth session, will receive $5.5M each or the principal amount
of the award.

In light of the studied intelligence reports forwarded to us by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and the U.S Department of Treasury on all payment
transaction of the UNCC Settlements and Allied matters, further discovery

Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) has been unjustly treated.

The Governing Council monitors the distribution of payments to claimants by
the relevant governments and international organizations. Governments and
international organizations are obligated to distribute funds to successful
claimants expeditiously and to report to the Commission on payments made to
claimants. Any funds undistributed to claimants by governments and
international organizations within two months of receiving payment
notification shall be returned to the Commission.

beneficiary, you are to re-confirm the below information for final
verification process as instructed by the UNCC Governing board. Upon the
