"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!

Dear,


First, let me start by introducing myself as MRS SUSAN SHABANGU,a mother
of three children and the Deputy Minister of safety and Security since 29th
April 1996 to date under the auspices of the President of South Africa MR
THABO MBEKI. After due deliberation with my children, I decided to contact
you for your assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of US$30.5M
( Thirty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) You can
view my profile at my website www.gov.za click on, Contact Information, then
click on Deputy Minister, and finally, click on Safety and Security and read
about me.
THE PROPOSAL, After the swearing in ceremony making me the Deputy Minister
of Safety and Security, my husband Mr. Ndelebe Shabangu died while he was on
an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in 1996. After his death, I
discovered that he had some funds which amounted to the sum of US$30.5M
with a security and finance institution in South Africa of which I will
divulge information to you when I get your full consent and support to go
for a change of beneficiary and subsequent transfer of the funds into you a
comfortable and conducive account of your choice.
This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract which he
executed with the Government of South Africa. Though I assisted him in
getting this contract but I never knew that it was over-invoiced by him. I
am afraid that the government of South Africa might start to investigate on
contracts awarded from 1990 to date. If they discover this money, they will
confiscate it and seize his assets here in South Africa and this will
definitely affect my political career in government. I want your assistance
in opening an account with bankers through my banker so that this fund could
be wired into your account directly without any hitch. As soon as the fund
gets to your account, you are expected to move it immediately into another
personal bank account in your country. I will see to it that the account is
not traced from South Africa. As soon as you have confirmed the fund into
your account, I will send my eldest son with my Attorney to come to your
country to discuss on business investments. For your assistance, I am
offering you 20% of the principal sum which amounts to US$6,100.000.00 (Six
million One Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only)And 5% will be for
Any expenses that both of us may Incure in this transaction. And another
5%will go for Motherless babes home. However, you have to assure me and also
be ready to go into agreement with me that you will not elope with my fund.
If you agree to my terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email.
Due to my sensitive position in the South African Government, I prefer you
send me email than call. All correspondence must be by email to my private
email address, {susanexpress1_gov@yahoo.com} If you want to speak with my
Banker or my elder son,that is fine and okay by me.you can contact my son on
his dilect line {+27-734 469407}his name is {MR davi shabangu}and You will
have to send down you private telephone /fax number so that i can forward it
to him to reach you from time to time this is for security reasons. Please I
do not need to remind you of the need for absolute Confidentiality of this
transaction.If you do not feel comfortable with this transaction, do not
hesitate to discontinue.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to
your family.
Yours faithfully,

MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU
