"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. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.

Subject: INTERPOL is committed to the global fight against cybercrime, as well
as tackling cyber-enabled crimes.

Attention,

Most cybercrimes are transnational in nature; therefore INTERPOL is
the natural partner for any law enforcement agency looking to
investigate these crimes on a cooperative level. By working with
private industry, INTERPOL is able to provide local law enforcement
with focused cyber intelligence, derived from combining inputs on a
global scale.

We are writing to inform you that we have enforced the transfer of all
your unclaimed funds in Africa, Asia and Europe to the United States
of America. This is to enable us monitor and protect your funds with
utmost transparency. You are therefore advised to desist from dealing
with any individual or institution for this same purpose as they no
longer have access to your funds. Continuing taking instructions from
these individuals or institutions would amount to nothing positive but
bring you harm, loss and make you liable for a criminal offence.

Your funds have been temporarily deposited on an Escrow Account with
Hebron Savings Bank, Maryland USA. These funds shall be released to
you after you must have proved your identity to the banker's
in-charge. You may also be required to make other provisions that
would ensure the swift transfer of the funds to you.

To get started: We need you to respond to this message with the
following information:

Your Legal Name..............
Your Legal Address.............
Your Primary Phone Number.......
How much is your funds?.........

Sincerely
President, Interpol
Ahmed Naser Al-Raisi
