419 Scam – "W.W.S LOTTERY (Paul Duffy)"

"W.W.S LOTTERY (Paul Duffy)" is a fake lottery run by a gang in Nigeria and the UK. The criminals try to get victims to wire US$ 1,200 to the UK by Western Union wire transfer.

Send us any replies by "claims agents", especially money demands and payment instructions, we will publish them here.

In response to your mail with Reference and Batch number Ref:EAAS/941OYI/04 
Batch:03/06/MA34, I wish to identify myself as Mr. Paul Duffy the fiduciary 
agent of the W.W.S LOTTERY Incharge of your account.
 
After I got your mail I had to check through our data base and found out 
that you are really a winner with the W.W.S LOTTERY and it is my duty to 
help you process your winning.
 
First you will need a Winner's Certificate which will cover you as the 
lucky winner of the Grand Cash Prize of US$500,000 because your Cash Prize 
will be paid to you by our Correspondent Bank here in LONDON through KTT 
TRANSFER and before they will make payment to you, they will request you 
to present to them the CLASSIFIED ORIGINAL COPY of your Winner's Certificate, 
which will be prepared in your favour as a winner and sent to you via 
Special Courier Service.
 
For this reason you will be needed to send to us, YOUR FULL NAMES AND 
ADDRESS, PRIVATE PHONE AND FAX NUMBER AND HOW YOU WANT YOUR GRAND CASH 
PRIZE TO BE PAID TO YOU. Your form will be sent to our Correspondent Bank 
and they will get in touch with you via phone or fax to inform you that 
your fund is ready for transfer and that you should present to them your 
proof of ownership to this fund, which is your Classified Original copy 
of this Winner's Certificate. If you cannot provide an account where your 
fund could be transferred to, please notify us as you will be needed to 
travel to our financial security company in Amsterdam, to recieve your 
fund in person. 
You may call me on +447040108691 or email me for more information . 
Fax:00448717338066
 
Once again "CONGRATULATIONS".
 
I await your urgent response to this mail.
 
Sincerely,
Paul Duffy.
