"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!

Subject: HELLO DEAR


Hello Dear,
My name is PRINCESS Susan Taylor a king duaghter,why my father was the king in africa here,my mother was the queen in africa here, my afther name is KING WILLIAM YAYLOR why mrther name is ruth taylor but there are died now they both ided in a auto crash in abuja frederal territory of nigeria on the mount of june 28 of june in the morning with DR BRIGHT WILLIAMS who was my father special adverser in a big contruction company in nigeria. they were good christian, they wereso dedicatted to GOD. throughout my father life in the country my dad acquired a lot of properties like land, house properties,e.t.c so my dad as a leagal adviser, beor there death. so my father instructed himto write his will because anything, can happen along the way,after he has just recovred frome a deadly sickness with his helpof friend in united state, that have been sending money for his teratment which is RONALD MINNS.he dedicated some of their wealth to GOD according to the WIL, the
properties have to be sold and some of the money will be given out to a ministry for the work, of GOD. the rest property have been issued for me the PRINCESS Susan taylor, to handle. so the lawyer said that all, the documents for the properties were in my care and is only his me that can give me the go ahead to do anything to the WILL. my father gave him the authority to sell some of the properties and keep it in the security company which was singemd by me and my father to be precise and he sld some of the proprety and the properties after my father death, as instucted by his clint that is my father befor his death. and as matter of fact, after he sold all thier properties, expectedly, and it realized a huge of amount of money that runs into millions of dollars, and what supposed to be percentage interest of his right legal fee was firstly deducted by him and he said that out of the total amount realized frome the sold properties, this was based on the intial
agreement between him and my dad the owner of the properties befor his death. and my dad let him to understand that the money should be kept wisely so that the govrnment should not be known such a great wealths. therefore, the total amount left is to be invested into my life, instructed by the owner which is $10,000,000,00(ten million US dollars)only. he as intruseted him to keep the money in a security box when my father was alive and depost it in a security company with some of mum jewerys document that is in vietenam. so he got the box and keep all the money in the box and close it in front of my dad that is the king befor my father died and sealed it up with the jewerys document that he asked him to kep inside it and close the box. the reason why the lawyer have not release the doucument to me is that he daid my father said that i wll find some one i no i trust and he his ready to stay with me so that he will be able to handle the money for me, and swe start a new
lif with the money. the security company nevey know that there is such a thing in the box, all they know is that is the jewerys document were kept inside. so i will like you tounderstand that, he tald me that as soon am ready to clear the consignment and get the money to USA i should be able to sign all the paper for me and it for him to clear it in the security company. so i will like to ask u you, are you really the true person to me or not becouse i have said because this is the only waht i have in my life and are you sure you can handle this fund for me when am in Unitd state with you the lawyer said he his afriad of putting the fund in the bank for me so i will need to let you know that the box will be clear and send to you. so that she will be able to amke ues of it in UNITED STATE, because he have to give account to the bank on how i will get the money, because my father told him not to do that beause the wealth was inherited. he then packaged the fund in
consigement of that security company to know the content of the conten of the consignments as Gold Bare. now, the security company belives that was wat he deposited with them was Gold Bars
