"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.

ATTENTION:
My name is Mr. Dennis William, a British citizen and I worked
with the World
bank In Geneva,Switzerland.I was posted to Africa due to the outcome
of the meeting held with the World bank in-conjunction with African
union late last year about scammed victims from the western world by
mostly Africans.

A conjunction was reached by both parties and the resolution to pay a
compensation fee of $1.5 million each to 25 scam victims.

You happen to be among these chosen scam victims,please do not
communicate or duplicate this message to any one because we cannot
afford to pay more than 25 scam victims for now

The payments are to be paid through Citi Bank

I was actually posted here to see that all the selected scam victims
get this compensation funds without any hitch and I have been given just
I month to complete this assignment before we go for another set of
scam victims.

However, due to the inefficient and corrupt banking system here we
have resolved to a cash delivery option for you to receive this
fund.But however,if you feel you want the wire transfer method let me
know as we will device a way of monitoring and supervising the
transfer,

Reconfirm the following details as well

Full name
Home address
Nearest airport
Direct phone number

You have to choose between the 3 options mention to you how you want
your own package to be delivered to you

UPS=48hrs/$200
FEDEX=72hrs/$150
DHL=4day/$100

Thank you!! And Best Regard :Mr Dennis William.
