"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!

Subject: ECONOMIC IMPACT PAYMENT

Starting in March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
Act (CARES Act) provided Economic Impact Payments of up to $1,200 per adult
for eligible individuals and $500 per qualifying child under age 17. The
payments were reduced for individuals with adjusted gross income (AGI)
greater than $75,000 ($150,000 for married couples filing a joint return).
For a family of four, these Economic Impact Payments provided up to $3,400
of direct financial relief.

The COVID-related Tax Relief Act of 2020, enacted in late December 2020,
authorized additional payments of up to $600 per adult for eligible
individuals and up to $600 for each qualifying child under age 17. The AGI
thresholds at which the payments began to be reduced were identical to
those under the CARES Act.

Because of the ongoing issues facing our nation,the federal government has
passed legislation providing the benefit to Americans who have lost income
and jobs .
