419 Scam

This is an example of a 419 scam, also known as Nigerian scam.

It was found by our Office Manager, Marlee.

The scam artist asks you to send money in advance in order to receive a supposedly large lump sum.

Once you send the money in, you will either:

A) never hear from them again

B) need to pay another fee to complete the transaction

If B) works, they will try:

C) another final fee

and so on…

Some people have lost their entire life’s savings by falling victims to this kind of fraud.
