For those in the UK with NO financial loss, examples of Internet '419' Advance Fee Fraud should be forwarded to your local fraud squad for investigation, whose location is obtainable through your local police station. Please quote 'NCIS West African Organised Crime Section' in your correspondence with them and under no circumstances reply to these criminals.
In addition to the above, if you HAVE lost money and there is a UK connection to the 419 operation, the NCIS wishes to speak directly with you as soon as possible. Persons who Have actually lost money to such scams can contact NCIS at :
victim@spring39.demon.co.uk
or by phone at 020 7238 8012.
NCIS also notes that 419 emails are very common, and it is possible that you may receive others in the future. Please do not send them direct to NCIS unless there is a loss, but as well as transmitting them direct to your local fraud squad, please send a copy to the Internet Service Provider (ISP's) from where the 419er email has originated. These emails to the ISP's should be addressed to:
abuse@"the ISP's name"
(for example abuse@yahoo.com, abuse@hotmail.com, abuse@onebox.com).
By this method the ISP's will be able to quickly terminate the accounts that abuse their systems.
Anyone OUTSIDE the UK receiving such a letter or email with a UK connection is advised to Notify your Own Nation's National Law Enforcement Agency and your Own Nation's Foreign Office; to NOT reply to the 419er communication; and to forward the 419er correspondence to the National Criminal Intelligence Service, PO Box 8000, London SE11 5EN, or by e-mail.
Also please email 419 letters, materials, and other relevant data to Task Force Main in DC or fax it to them at 202-406-6930 (US) if you prefer. Please be SURE to state if there is any US Connection to your 419ers' operations, Particularly if there is US Banking Data on them. Please mark the materials Loss ( or No Loss as the case may be ) - For Your Database.
