"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!

Greetings,

I am Mrs. Al-Ghrari, the only surviving member of a family that was crushed in a bomb-blast during the war in Libya. Currently, I am battling with a (partial stroke) which resulted from the shock gotten from the incident. Please view the below link for details:http://www.wsws.org/articles/2011/jun2011/liby-j20.shtml

When my husband whom was a crude oil merchant was alive, we had plans to use the last days of our lives to disburse part of our resources to charity organization and several unknown individuals because when we were much younger in life as a couple, we received financial help from an unknown individual whom we have not met till this day. The impact we got from such gesture made us want to do same.

Unfortunately, my husband is not alive today to do this with me and my health is deteriorating so fast; hence I have decided it on our behalf.Having donated to several individuals and charity organization from our savings, I have decided to anonymously donate the last of our family savings to you.

Irrespective of your previous financial status, please do accept this kind and peaceful offer on behalf of my beloved family. Please acknowledge

Mrs.Aaliyah H. Al-Ghrari
