"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!

Dear Esteemed Customer,
How are you doing today and your family? We write to remind you about your fund US$32Million in Deutsche Bank here. I would like to inform you that your fund is ready to be release to you, even as I am writing to you now. The fund has stayed in Deutsche Bank for a very long time, infant, it has over stayed and we cannot continue keeping the funds here without an arrangement with the beneficiary on how to get it to you.

I would like you to understand very well what is involved in sending large volumes of funds across international borders, and some countries have vastly differing laws and requirements, and in some cases the USA has the largest mouth in matters. The amount involved determines how they will have their eyes on the transaction. As a matter of fact, the rate of problems and documents they were asking to transfer huge amounts of money across the borders as a result of the increase of terrorist across the globe is giving us so much concern.

Deutsche Bank AG always cares first of all for the comfort and safety of the customers. To make our service even more convenient and to improve the results of mutual partnership with our customers.

We are going to secure a loan for you with the amount of money that will cover the fees for all their required documents to make the transfer a successful one.

Below is other information we will need from you to process the loan and the transfer of your fund to you.

We your full name and address:.........
We need your State ID front and back............
Your contact number:...................

If you're still interested to receive your fund but do not have money for the fee.

You can contact us with this Email:christiansewing4@hotmail.com

Best Regards.
Yours faithfully,
Christian Sewing
CEO of Deutsche Bank
