"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!

Die Tsinghua Technology Group ist eine Krypto-Farm-Mining-Firma mit Blockchain-Technologie, die Bitcoin in China sch&uuml;rft. Diese Unternehmensgruppe ben&ouml;tigt eine gute Bitcoin-Wallet, die bis zu 100 Millionen Dollar empfangen kann, oder ein Bankkonto, auf dem bereits ein solcher Betrag eingegangen ist.

Wir sch&uuml;rfen diese Gelder seit 2019, aber aufgrund des Krypto-Verbots in China k&ouml;nnen wir Krypto nicht so gut nutzen, wie Bitcoin-Gelder zu monetarisieren.

Aufrichtig,
