"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!

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.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "affidavit " (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
- "high court" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)

Subject: Urgent Attention Needed

Attn; Beneficiary,

I hope this email finds you well.
With reference to your entitlement fund, I am contacting you in regards
with the CHANGE OF BENEFICARY'S APPLICATION, signed by one *Mrs. Glenda F.
Ward*, (*Address: 283 Frank St. Austin, Tx 78737, USA*) with your purported
authorization. This issue has been carefully examined and we declined her
application as the application lacks merit to release the funds to her. Did
you ever instruct Mrs Glenda F. Ward to claim your fund worth *4,600,000
United States dollars*? However, below is the bank account information
provided by Mrs Glenda F. Ward saying that you authorized her to claim your
fund hence you are terminally ill.

Bank Name: Bank of America
Account Name:: N Micheal Igboalisi
ACCT NO: 586025513245
Routing No: 111000025
Bank Address 9711 Bissonnet St. Houston, Tx 77036, USA

If you had not authorized the change of your bank account in respect to
your outstanding entitlement Payment, therefore notify me immediately as
the notification / declaration was supported with a sworn affidavit from
Texas high court *ref: US/T/MYT/202/IN/24*, dated February, 26, 2024 and
signed by Mrs. Glenda Ward who claimed and stated in the sworn declaration
that you authorized her to claim the said fund on your behalf to a
different bank account in the U.S.A as stated above because you were
terminally ill and cannot walk, said the doctor who's administering your
health file.

This development has caused lots of discrepancies in your payment file that
is why I had to suspend your payment and decided to contact you directly
before re-validating your payment. You can be rest assured that I will do
everything within my capacity to successfully actualize the quick transfer
of your fund through our paying bank to any of your nominated bank accounts.

Kindly get back to me as soon as possible on further directives.

Sincerely,
Kristalina Georgieva
