"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!

GREETINGS Dear friend, I hope this mail meets you well, actually i am
writing you base on the issue/report on my desk presently, we received
a report from United Nations that you have an abandoned ATM card,
worth about $3,500.000 million USD.

However, I have instructed the concerned organisation to bring the ATM
card to our office in Washington D.C. And this is to notify you that
The ATM card will arrive at our office tomorrow.

I want you to re-confirm your current full information for
clarification and the smooth delivery of your ATM card to your
destination.

Full name......

Current home address.....

Nearest airport ......

Direct contact Number........

Try to respond quick with your current details so that arrangement can
be made for the delivery of your ATM card to your destination.

Of course If you are not interested in receiving the funds contained
inside the ATM CARD, we can push for forfeiture order so the UNITED
NATIONS can not move the ATM CARD to the Government Treasury.

Warmest regards,
From homeland security services.
Office Address. 3801 Nebraska ave, Washington D.C 20016, United state.
