"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!

First this is to bring to your notice that I have paid the reactivation
fee and
the delivery of your ATM master card, I paid it the ATM MASTER
CARD code is 8119 and the $10.8 million inside the card has less than
Thirty days to expire, and when it expires the money inside will go into
the government purse.

However, i have decided to help you pay the fee so that the ATM
MASTER CARD will not expire, because I know that when you get your ATM
MASTER CARD definitely you must pay me back my money and even compensate
me for helping you.
Now i want you to contact UPS DELIVER COMPANY with your full delivery
information such as

Your name
Your Country
Your home address
Your Tel phone number
include your ID Card
Email: atm-ktbmastercarddept@lattrre.com OR
kt1bkk01@gmail.com
Phone: +666 368 63772
so that they can deliver your ATM MASTER CARD to your designated home
address without any more delay.

Finally like i stated early the delivery charges has been paid but i did
not pay their
official keeping charges since they refused, and they did it because
they do
not know when you are going to contact them and the demurrage might
have increase, they told me that their keeping charges is $150, per day
and
i deposited it been the 25th Day of February 2022. call him as soon as
you
receive this email. Below is their contact Information's


contact them today to avoid an increase of their official keeping fee.
And let
me know once you receive your ATM MASTER CARD.
