"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.

Bonjour Ã vous.
Rien n'est jamais toute Ã faire jouer. Il n'y a jamais une seule route, un
seul destin. Il faut savoir qu'on peut, qu'on doit choisir,mais il faut vouloir
choisir, croire que c'est possible. Le destin,c'est avec ses propres mains
qu'on le construit, qu'il est toujours une route ouverte. Que tant qu'il y a un
souffle de vie, il a espoir de choisir et de changer. Je suis lÃ
pour prouver que parfois on a l'impression de lutter pour un idÃ©al qui ne
serait pas atteint de notre vivant.Peut-Ãªtre ne serait-il jamais atteindre.
Mais on sait qu'on s'y consacrera et cela permet de trouver un sens Ã notre
vie.
Mme MORRIS Georgina Titania, J'ai le cÅ“ur serrÃ© vu que je suis touchÃ©e par une
maladie.
Ã‰tant veuve sans enfant, je voudrais vous lÃ©guer une somme de (2 025 000$),
j'ai peur que le reste de ma fortune soient un gÃ¢chis aprÃ¨s mon dÃ©cÃ¨s.Alors, si
vous Ãªtes d'accord j'attends donc votre rÃ©ponse Ã mon message sur
mon mail privÃ© : morris_titania_georgina@outlook.fr
Veuillez prier pour moi car je suis dans une situation critique.
Veuve Mme MORRIS Georgina Titania.
