"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!

Hello Beneficiary of UBA ATM VISA CARD,

First, how are you doing including your families? I hope you are in
good health? In the meantime, before we begin, let me introduce
myself, my name is Robert Rightman, I am a West African citizen but
was born here in the United States, I am a new Deputy Director of the
New York Department of United Bank For Africa/334 E 148th St, Bronx ,
New York 10451, United States

I am very surprised when I saw your Visa ATM card abandoned in our
treasury account, I tried to find out the reason why your VISA ATM
CARD containing a sum of $15.6 million US dollars was going into the
treasury, but surprisingly I couldn't find it. some mistake, from what
I understand it was all the faulty staff in Africa. In the meantime,
your payment file has returned to our branch in the Republic of Benin.

If you'll allow me, I promise to work things out on your behalf, but
before I do, you must stop any further communication with any other
offices or personal assistants about the case, if you agree with my
plans, we can move on. , but remember that all documents must be
completed before a new VISA ATM CARD can be issued in your name

I will help you get on the right path. Your Visa ATM card is at risk,
you can lose it anytime from now. If you are dealing with someone else
regarding your compensation payment, just keep in mind that you are
spending money. to point out, the amount of your compensation is a sum
of $15.6 million US dollars. If someone contacts you with a deference
award, which means you are dealing with the wrong people, some bad
employees have lost their jobs because of this foreigner's
compensation case, so all these staff and officer who lose their work
because of what they did to many foreigners they have come up with a
new way to scam these beneficiaries their fund is still pending

They will continue to collect money from you until you confirm that
you have lost the total before you can use your brain. I am here to
help you, but only if you can give me the opportunity to do so.

I have freaked out with the director of the UBA in Benin about your
payment file and he promised to renew your file so that you can
receive new VISA ATM CARD. In the meantime, kindly send your details,
Your full name:::::::::, Your phone::::::::::::, Your home
address:::::: : , Your office address::::::: , Your ID:::::::::: ,

The director of UBA Benin Republic has clarified that your file will
be renewed but you will pay a sum of $100 USD. Once your payment file
is renewed, I will contact a lawyer from the UBA New York department
to proceed with all the necessary documents for delivery your Visa ATM
card, please ask how to send the money from him,

Contact him below
