"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!

My Dear.

Calvary greetings in the name of the Lord of hosts,

Good day and
compliments of the season, I know that this latter will definitely come
to you as a big surprise, but I beg you to take the
time to go through
it carefully, because the decision you make will go to a large extent
defines its future and continued existence. I am a widow, Mrs. Anna
Mark. Wolou. Styren 61 years is suffering from throat cancer for a long
time. I have the money I inherited from my late husband, the amount of
8,000,000.00 U.S. dollars, and I have a very honest and God-fearing
Christian who can withdraw money and then use that money to charity. I
want to give a tool for charitable purposes. I got in touch with you
after,

background after honest prayer to God to bring my helper, and
I decided to contact you to cope with these trust funds in good faith,
before anything happens to me after my operation, which comes in the
near future. I desperately needed help, and I plucked up courage to
contact you to resolve this problem, you should not take me and

millions of poor people in our world. This is not the stolen money and
there is no risk 100% risk free, full legal proof. Please, if you could
use that money to charity, please let me know immediately. Here is my
