419 Scam – "ZENEX LOTTERY / GREENLAND FINANCE LIMITED / Dumisani Dube"
"ZENEX LOTTERY / GREENLAND FINANCE LIMITED / SEEFFS FINANCE & SECURITY LIMITED" are labels used by a fake lottery and fake "claims agent" in South Africa and probably Nigeria. All phone numbers used in this scam are South African mobile phone numbers or UK special service numbers that can redirect calls to any number worldwide. All email addresses are free webmail accounts or using a domain recently registered by the criminals (seeffs.com). Victims who fall for the South African scam are asked to send US$1,832 by MoneyGram to South Africa. Victims in the UK version (i.e. Nigerian version) are asked to send UKL 890.00 to a recipient in the UK.
If you send us copies of such spam and any replies by "claims agents" you have have received, we will be happy to forward them to the South African police to investigate.
