"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: Dear friend.

Â Dear friend.
Forest and foremost, I apologize for this intrusion into your life even though I admit that this is very important to me.

I am Ms.LachÃ©roy and married with Mr. Carlos Lapuz who died in a train bomb blast in Spain when he was going for a medical checkup .copy and paste this link for more information

Our life together as husband and wife lasted for three decades without child.When my late husband was alive, he made a safe deposit of ( $5.3 USD) Five Million Three hundred thousand dollars, which was derived from his vast of renovation Real estate and construction company.

Since Iâ€™m a widow and I have no child, or close to something I begin to regret bitterly. For over three and half years I am suffering from an ovarian cancer. Unfortunately, my doctor just informed me that I am Stage two and will not last.

I have decided to donate these funds for the purpose of humanitarian work through you, to the less privileged. Widows, widowers, orphans children and Ebola victim families ,god made us to understand that blessed is the hand that gives. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit the money. Beloved, i want you to understand that god does not count in our religions rather our obedience to his commandment. I will be looking forward to hear back from you so as to have your full assurance to handle this donation fund perfectly without applying a betrayal mind to the trust our God has entrusted in your kind of person. Please always remember me in prayers.

Yours Sincerely.

Lechy
