"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!

Dear

Greetings with hope this electronic mail receives your attention.
I am Henry Panjaitan, citizen of Indonesia and an executive employee of
a prestigious financial institution (Director of TREASURY and
INTERNATIONAL DEPARTMENT, BNI).

I solicit for your assistance in claiming a deceased customer's fund as
the next of kin. The fund which amounts to US$96.8 Million was deposited
at the Head Office of the Bank Negara Indonesia BNI and as the Director
of TREASURY and INTERNATIONAL DEPARTMENT, every customer's confidential/
sensitive information passes through my office.

The deceased person contacted corona virus in December 2019, while on
vacation leaving behind no one to stand as next of kin, since then,
efforts has been made to locate any family member but to no avail. I
hereby decided to contact you, regarding your pedigree, and also to
stall the attempt of other Directors from taking it for themselves by
labelling it as unclaimed funds. I have relevant documents in my
possession to back up this claim as the next of kin.

Please treat this mail as confidential, by being as discreet as
possible. I wait for your response only if you are ready to work with me
As you can see through this website below you will confirm that I am
TREASURY and INTERNATIONAL DEPARTMENT director.

At your service and regards
Henry Panjaitan
Treasury and International Director
