"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!

From: "maryam kabila" <maryamkabila11@hotmail.com>
Date: Mon, 06 Mar 2006 11:33:51 +0200
Subject: CONFIDENTIAL

MRS MARYAM KABILA
TEL:27-83-525-7967
JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA CONFIDENTIAL

ATTN:C.E.O/PRESIDENT,

I am (Mrs Maryam Kabila the second wife of the last Zaire Head of Sate
Laurent D. Kabila, who died while still on active. I am contacting you in
view of the fact that we will be of great assistance to each other, likewise
developing a cordial business relationship. I currently have within my reach
the sum of Thirty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars
(US$36,500,000.00) cash, which I intend to use for investment purposes
specifically in your country.

This money came as a result of a payback contract deal between my late
husband and Russian partner who returned my husbandÂ’s share to our security
company in Zaire of which I am the Director. Right now, the new government
led by my late husbandÂ’s first son Joseph Kabila has intensified their
probe on my financial resources, a nd they revoked our licenses that allow
us to own a financial and oil company. Even one of my sons was arrested and
still in detention under the new government. In view of these, I acted very
fast to withdraw the US$36,500 Million from the companyÂ’s vault and send it
to South Africa through the help of a diplomatic that served under my
husbandÂ’s government.

I have since declared the Security CompanyÂ’s bankruptcy. No record ever
existed concerning the money neither is the money traceable by the
government. There is no documentation showing that we received the money
from the Russians. This money is now being lodged with a Security Company in
Johannesburg, South Africa, where my son is residing temporarily for the
business. Due to the current situation in the country concerning government
attitude towards my family, and bilateral relationship with the South Africa
government, it has become quite impossible for me to make use of this money
within, thus I seek your assistance to transfer this money out of this
country immediately. On your consent,

I shall expect you to contact my son urgently SAM KABILA to enable us
discuss in details about this transaction. He can be reached on this
Telephone Number:+ 27- 83-525-7967.email samkabila10@yahoo.co.in

Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this fund. I
propose a commission of 20% of the total sum to you for the expected
services and assistance. Your urgent response is highly needed so as to stop
further contact. All your correspondence must be through my son because all
our phones are under surveillance. I must use this opportunity to implore
you to exercise that utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily
confidential whatever your decision, while we await your prompt response.Â

Best regards

(MRS) MARYAM KABILA.
