Has someone offered you a huge sum of money or a valuable consignment? It's a 419 or advance fee fraud - find out how they work, and what to do to be safe.

This scam goes to great lengths to try to look legitimate and to reassure the victim that it is legitimate.

Regardless of how many guarantees and assurances they give, it is a scam and designed to steal your money.

They even offer a money back guarantee but the problem is, do you know who this person is? it is easy to appear to be somebody you are not, hide in an internet cafe, use fake or stolen identification, use the name of real companies and tell you how legitimate the deal is.

In this scam the scammer is looking for somebody who is or has already been scammed and trying to have them believe that the non existent money they have payed fees for can be recovered and payed to them if only they pay one more fee.

As with all scams, the best course of action is to delete and ignore, if you have lost money to a scam, you will never have it returned regardless of how many promises you may receive.

that you have not received your fund which is to the tune of $9.8million due to past corrupt Governmental Officials who almost held the fund to themselves for
their selfish reason and some individuals who have taken advantage of your fund all in an attempt to swindle your fund which has led to so many losses from your
end and unnecessary delay in the receipt of your fund.


The National Central Bureau of Interpol enhanced by the United Nations and Federal Bureau of Investigation have successfully passed a mandate to the
current president of Nigeria his Excellency President Umaru Yar'Adua to boost the exercise of clearing all foreign debts owed to you and other individuals and
organizations who have been found not to have receive their Contract Sum, Lottery/Gambling, Inheritance and the likes.Now how would you like to receive your payment? By Check or by ATM card?

enlighten you about how to use it. Even if you do not have a bank account.


Check: To be deposited in your bank for it to be cleared within three working days.Your payment would be sent to you via any of your preferred option and would be
mailed to you via UPS.Because we have signed a contract with UPS which should expire by the end of November 2009 you will only need to pay $320.00 instead of
$454.00 saving you $134.00! So if you pay before November 28 you save $134.00 Take note that anyone asking you for some kind of money above the usual fee is
