Scam that originates in Nigeria, usually sent out via mass emails. The scammer pretends to be a millionaire CEO and tells a fake story about having assets seized unfairly by the government, and needing somebody to help stash millions of dollars in a secret account. A 20% cut is promised as a reward, but only if you give the scammer an up-front fee, or your bank account number. Something gullible people fall for.
"Dude! I just got conned by a 419 scam! This Nigerian oil executive promised me a cut of his investment, but I gave him my bank account number and now all my money is gone!!

location 419 

Location 419 is the geographical space occupied by the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Decree number 419 was the criminal code introduced to deal with Advance-Fee scam.

It is commonly practiced but very rare in Nigeria for anyone to be judicially tried and punished for advance-fee scam.

Hence many Nigerians abroad refer Nigeria to 'Location 419'. The phrase has now been extended to any social misgivings or anomalies that many have experienced in Nigeria. It's also shortened to 'Location 9'.
A phone call from Nigeria requires priority on social media live programmes as the telecommunications may be disrupted, electricity cut-out can make people disappear during video calls, a report of awkward experience of any sort etc may allow the programme to refer the correspondence as being from location 419 or location 9
