"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: My Dearest One,

Dearest One,

Good day to you! By this E-mail, I do sincerely apologies for my intrusion of your privacy. Your personality motivated me after going through your profile. I am Lilith Sajid from Damascus Syria, the only daughter of late Mr. Mrs. Sajid Ahmed from Syria my parents was killed in bomb explosion this year in the war that is going on in our country Syria. My late father was a veteran trade unionist, and a member of Syria Congress of Trade Unions.

Please, why I need your assistance is that my late father deposited the sum of (â‚¬2.8 million) Two Million Eight Hundred thousand Euros in a fix deposit account in a bank in Europe before his death. My late father wanted to use this money to establish a company in your country before his death. My intention of contacting you is to help me so that the bank in Europe will transfer this money to your bank account in your country then i will come over to stay with you in your country and you will help me to invest this money in good place in your country, because it is not wise doing business in the atmosphere of fear here in Syria, that's why I am calling on you.

If you can honestly collaborate with me, I am ready to give you 20% of the total amount at end of the transaction if you can sincerely assist me to actualize this project soon, because the situation here in Syria is very critical, everyday bomb explosion seems to have no end. I want you to know that the important document that the bank in Europe gave to my late father on the day he deposited this money with the bank is with me and I send it to you.

I am waiting to hear from you soon.

Lilith Ahmed Sajid
