"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!

*Attn: Funds beneficiary,*

Sir,

FRANSSEN Legal Property Group stands at a moment of exceptional
possibility. A moment when global poverty and development goals that long
seemed unattainable have moved within our reach. A moment, also, when
dangers of unprecedented magnitude threaten the future of humankind.

Our team of auditors were hired by management of the World Bank Group and
IMF, to audit the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for proper investigation
and auditing as recommended by the United State, US Federal Reserve Bank.

But strangely, our team of auditors discovered a huge sum of money $35MUSD
in your name and not yet claimed, and it was observed the said fund has
been abandoned for many years, please in such society like Nigeria, it is
absolutely wrong to abandon such amount of money in such slippery economy
like Nigeria for too long.

Although, our team of auditors commended management of Nigerian Apex Bank,
the CBN for being honest and sincere and for being patient and allowing you
such enough time to claim the fund.

The Apex, CBN confirmed that no commercial bank locally or internationally
has any such authority to handle the debts settlement, it is the sole
responsibility of the Apex Bank, to handle your smooth wire remittance.

But the honest truth is that from the report we gathered from our team of
auditors, the main reason for your nonpayment or payment delay is not
solely the responsibility of the Nigerian Apex Bank, there are many factors
working against the Nigerian Banking system, licked information and some of
their information where hacked by internet hackers.

Also, the political problem in that Country makes it a vulnerable economy,
and there are many interested groups contesting for supremacy which affects
their Banking sectors and services, but with patience, CBN will resolve all
the issues and credit your account.

Finally, my legal firm has made a positive headway, the crediting Bank,
CBN, is honest and ready to do everything possible for you to have your
funds and celebrate with your family. Stop listening to rethorics from
commercial local and foreign Banks, CBN is responsible for all issues
related to foreign payment and transfer.

The honest truth is that, do not be moved by what you may have been through
in the past, that's not the actual reality. Mind you, revalidation and
activation of your damaged payment file will cost you some money, so be
determined this time to do the right and legitimate thing, with our support
and legal direction it is achievable.

You are directed to suspend any form of communication with any Bank,
locally and internationally and contact CBN legal department and resolve
your payment delay issues.
