"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

It is sad to say that I lost my father and he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Feb. 2005.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.But God knows the truth!

My mother died when I was just 11 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2005 he secretly called me aside and told me that he had a sum of $8.500,000 US DOLLARS ( EIGHT MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND USA DOLLARS) kept in 1 trunk box with a private security company in (AFRICA)here in Abidjan ivory coast.

He also said that the security company does not know the content of the safe Box.He decleared it as family treasure and used my name to Deposit the money in the consignment box as his first daugther for next of kin. He also explained to her that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business assocaites, That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.

I want you to assist me in clearing this consignment box to your country overseas as a beneficiary of the consignment box,and also use it for an investment purpose.

I am just 24years old in high school and later drop out, hence I could not afford educational financial aspect to further my education due to my lack of parental absence,really I don't know what to do.Now I want your asisstance to help me receive the consignment box in your country and for investment purpose and for my bright future sake. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.

Beside I'm corresponding with you from my country here in Cote D'Ivoire West Africa and moreso there is great political war going on here in my country, that is the main reason why I contacted you to help me in getting me and my only inheritance out of this country so that I may not loosed my life and the inheritance to war in this country, infact I'm facing hard difficulty at the moment even in the area of feeding as no one knows what might happened next in this country.

Dearest one,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
