"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!

 Thanks for your Honour, I will like to request for your
assistance, i believe that you will not betrayed my trust which i am
going to lay on you. I am Miss Suzan Sangare ,25 years old and the only
daughter of my late parents MR. and MRS Samuel SANGARE .My father was a
highly reputable business magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the
capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France
during one of his business trips abroad year 14th.June 2006 .Though his
sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded
by an uncle of his who poisoned him because of his wealth and
properties. But God
knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 10 years old, and since
then my father took me so special. Before his death on June 14th 2006
my father 'WILL' to me the sum of Nine million six hundred thousand
United State Dollars (USD$9.6) left in a Bank here in Ivory Coast . I am
just 25 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know
what to do. 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. Dear, I am
in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards to move
the money to your country for investment .Your suggestions and ideas
will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions: - 1.
Can I completely trust you? 2. What percentage of the total
amount in question will be good for you? Consider this and get back to
me as soon as possible.








































 Thank you so much.
Suzan.
