"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!

This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down.

Goodday

This is a follow up to my earlier communication via email. I am not certain if you received it, as I did not get any acknowledgement from you. Nevertheless,I have arrived at Khartoum, Republic of Sudan and I will like us to discuss my proposal in details.

My leader(Mr Riek Machar)has given me the instruction to move the assets to a safe location ,with the assistance of a foreign interest, that is capable and can be trusted.This is coming in the heels of the ongoing Civil war in South Sudan
( where he is a major player)and his personal safety, assets and investments are no longer guaranteed under the sitting government.

I have been given the full authority to negotiate with you on the working terms, so long as you can demonstrate that you have the capacity to handle the project.I can be reached on Skype here in Khartoum , but will like to keep it discrete for now, until when I hear back from you.

Please treat as urgent

Best Regards

Mr.Garang kiir
Personal Assistant
