"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!

INTRODUCTION:

We are pleased to inform you that we are willing to offer you a part time job position in our Satellite Representative Department as our representative officer in your area, following our job search procedure; you were short listed in the initial email listing in our representatives search directory.

ABOUT US:
The charity organization was created in 1991 a dedicated group of parents approached the State of New Jersey with a plan to reform children's mental health and a desire to end their suffering.

>From 1996 to 1998, LHCF successfully mobilized over 3,517,758.15 USD to fund over 780 projects, at an average of 3,908.87 USD per project. Grounded in the legacy of its founder, LHCF initially operated as a grant-making organization promoting a humanitarian response to the plight of children and youths. The 1995-1999 period was characterized by ad hoc funding strategies that enabled children and families to meet immediate needs, and one-time support for overhead and salary costs for organizations targeting children's issues, with no particular programmatic basis for LHCF's engagement with these organizations.

During 1999, LHCF realized that this welfare or handout approach was not sustainable as it did not encourage community involvement nor did it address the array of growing organizational capacity issues. To inform a new approach, LHCF conducted an extensive review of national and regional policies on children and youth; identified several significant policy gaps; evaluated its portfolio of projects and internal procedures; and carefully defined programmed intervention areas it would pursue. This review culminated in the launching, in the year 2000, of the
Sakha Ikusasa strategy, reflecting a new programme and organizational approach for the period 2000-2005, and establishing LHCF as a funding development agency that seeks to change the ways in which society treats its children and youth in order to improve their conditions and lives.
