"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!

back home for the burial ceremony.
Everything my late father owned was lost to the rebels, they now
formed the new government.
What I have left is only this fund now in the security storage, I have
the documents with me, my late father told the security company that
his foreign partner will be responsible for the release and transfer
of the
consignment (funds) before he died.
I will reward you with 20% of the Four Million, two hundred thousand
United States dollars ($4.200.000.00) inside the consignment, if you
