"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,

I am Caroline Flint, the Branch Manager of a Natwest Bank here in my
country.

I personally discovered an inoperative account worth USD$106,132,000.000
(One Hundred And Six Million One Hundred And Thirty Two Thousand United
States Dollars) from our late customer during our bank's annual account
auditing.

Since the death of the deceased, nobody has operated this account till
date. Definitely, our banking code of ethics will confiscate this fund
if it remains inoperative for a period of months without any claims.

In this regard, I earnestly need your full cooperation in transferring
this money out of our bank to avoid our bank confiscating this fund. Our
sharing ratio will be 50% for you and 50% for me.

Should you be interested to work with me on this project Kindly get back
to me for more information and guidelines, please delete if you are not
interested and dont bother responding.

Best regards,
Caroline Flint
Branch Manager At
Natwest Bank.
