"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: Letter From Hospital

Hello.
This is Mrs. Cecilia Yulle writing from Hospital; therefore this message is very urgent.

Â I have a donation to make which I will need your assistance to carry it out for me in your country, I will be 62 years old this coming August 17, a widow and a servant of the Lord for the past 38years in Ivory Coast.

I inherited some money $7.650,000 (Seven Million Six Hundred and fifty thousand dollars) from my late husband Mr. Edwards Yulle; I want to give it out to Orphanage and Charity Organizations as a vow which I made before the Lord.

I have a lung and breast cancer and will be going for my third operation next two weeks, though the doctor have already confirmed that I will only last for some months but I am happy and glad that the Lord has kept me safe and guided me to accomplish my mission on earth. I will be happy to meet Him where He wants me to be.

Â I want you to contact my house helper; I have given him the documents of the money and have directed him to a lawyer that will assist you to change the documents of the money to your name to enable the bank transfer the money to you.

Adam Chinda Peters
Address: Avenue 16, Wade Ave,
Abidjan 16, Cote d'Ivoire.
Email: adam1pet@gmail.com

He will give you the documents of the money and will direct you to the lawyer that I have appointed to him; the lawyer will assist you to change the documents of the money to your name to enable the bank transfer the money to you.

This is the favor I need when you have gotten the money:-

Â (1) Give 10% of the money to Adam Chinda Peters as he has been there for me throughout my illness and I have promised to support him in life, therefore you will take him as my child.

Â (2) Give 60% of the money to Charity organizations, Orphanage homes and Churches on my name so that my soul may rest in peace.

The remaining 30% should be for you and others that you would love to assist.
And if I donâ€™t hear from you within two days, I will look for another person.
May God bless you and use you to accomplish my wish.
Pray for me always.
Mrs. Cecilia Yulle.
