"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!

ATTENTION: Dear Fund Beneficiary,

Read carefully!!!

This electronic message is confidential and strictly for you.

It is obvious that you have not received your fund which is in the
order of $1,500,000,000 dollar million due to past corrupt government
officials who almost kept the fund for themselves for selfish reasons
and took advantage of your fund all in an attempt to defraud your
funds. which led to so many losses on your part and unnecessary delays
in receiving your fund.

Interpol's National Central Bureau, bolstered by the United Nations
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FIB), has successfully
mandated the current President of the International Monetary Fund to
push forward the exercise of clearing all foreign debts owed to you
and others. individuals who do not receive their contract sum,
lottery/gambling, inheritance and the like. You will receive your
payment by an ATM card.

ORA bank Card: will issue you a personalized ORA bank ATM card with
your name encrypted, which you will use to withdraw up to $20,000
Dollars per day from any ATM that bears the Visa card logo. Also with
the ORA bank card you can transfer your funds to your bank account.
The ATM card will come with a manual to clarify that it can be used in
any ATM machine in your country and all over the world.

via FedEx Express. we signed a contract with FedEx Express, you only
have to contact the ORA Bank director: DR. COOVI CELESTINE via this
email address: , (www.orabank.tg1@gmail.com)


Please note that anyone who asks you for any kind of money above the
normal rate is definitely a fraudster and you will have to stop
communicating with everyone else if you have contacted them.

Also remember that all you will have to spend is shipment fee for the
delivery! Nothing less! And we guarantee you that you will receive
your fund within the next 2 business days after receiving your
required information.
