"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

Hello,

Compliments of the day. How are you and your family? My name is Mrs. Suchart Chaovisith wife of the former Thailand Finance minister, during the (PM Thaksins) regime that was forced out from power by the military.

In view of the recent death of my husband as you can read from the Bangkok post news website confirming his death. I am very worried over the political crises in my country now, and I have therefore decided to contact you, to help me to move some funds to your country for investment. My family hopes to go into investment with you in your country.

Below is the news article of my husbands’ death:-

Please send your contact phone numbers so my daughter or my son will call you to know when you can fly to meet us in Bangkok or any Neighboring country for us to meet to conclude on further arrangement to transfer for safety investment purposes. I will further give you details when i get your reply. This country is no longer safe for me and my children so we have decided to relocate.

My warm regards to you and your family, as I wait to read from you.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Suchart Chaovisith.
Bangkok Thailand.
