"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!

father secretly deposited the sum of M$ 5.6 million in one of the prime
bank with my name as the next of kin.

However, If I receive a positive response and proper reply showing your
interest in this business relation, I will send you all the relevant
information that will facilitate this business investment.

I am an orphan girl please you will also help me in an investment, and I

University, before the death of my father. please send me a message with
your email address and i will get back to you as soon as possible, hope to
