"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:
- An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
- This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
- This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
- This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Subject: A NEW ARRANGEMENT HAS BEEN MADE CONCERNING ALL TRUST WALLET FUNDS.
We have ordered for the immediate activation and the release of your trust
wallet funds, both prospective and new setups.
This new order came in as a result of the 2023 Annual conference that has
just been concluded by the IMF and EU to finally reconcile their
authorization process and issues that have delayed or held beneficiaries
from claiming their trust wallet funds.
This means you no longer have to pay double fees or sequence of fees to
claim your watch only wallet funds. You only have to remit $150 USD for
your Pass Token Card.
READ AND UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE REMITTING THIS FEE;
You are getting a Permanent Pass Token Card.
Based on this new development, It has been agreed and also signed that all
beneficiaries are required to generate their PASS TOKEN CARD as soon as
possible to enable them full access to claim their funds. With your PASS
TOKEN, you can use it anywhere around the world to conduct transactions in
banks and automatic teller machine ATMs, which you can also use to unlock
your crypto currency from your watch only trust wallet.
The pass token card will be generated and delivered to you one digital copy
and a physical copy which you are recommended to use personally for the
activation of all your trust wallet funds.
This pass token card has unlimited access which means you can reuse it
multiple times.
