"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: NOTIFICATION OF NEXT OF KIN

Dear:Sir/Madam,

Compliments of the day to you.

I am Dr. (Mrs.) Dame Patience Jonathan GCFR), wife to the Ex- President of Nigeria who hand over to an Opposition Government on the 29th of May, 2015. I am contacting you in confidence, and as a means of developing a cordial and fruitful business relationship. I currently have within my reach, the sum of twenty Five million United States Dollars, which I and my children intends to use for investment purposes specifically in your country. This money came as a result of a payback contract deal between my husband and a Russian firm in our countryâ€™s multi-Billion Dollar Ajaokuta Steel Plant. The Russianâ€™s returned my husbandâ€™s share of US$25,000,000.00 after his hand over to the Opposition Government, and i lodged it in Citibank of London, United Kingdom. Right now, the New government of Muhammadu Buhari has intensified their probe on MY familyâ€™s financial resources; frozen all our known local accounts, revoked our oil licenses, pending the outcome of their investigations.

In view of these facts, I acted fast to deposited the US$25,000,000.00 in a private security account of which I alone know of itâ€™s existence. I have since declared the security account bankrupt. No record whatsoever exists concerning this money traceable by the new government of Nigeria, because there is no documentation showing that we received the money from Russians.

Therefore the current situation in my country concerning governmentâ€™s attitude towards my family, it has become quite impossible for us to make use of this money within. I thus wish to discretely transfer this money out of London with your help, to be invested in your country (under your professional guidance), and to help start operation in an Oil Refinery which my Husband built in Brazil before 2011 Presidential General election. I shall expect you to contact me urgently to enable us discuss this transaction in details.

Perhaps 40% to you and 55% to my family, while 5% goes to any expenses during the transaction, I want you to contact my Personal Attorney Mr.Bello Ali through his below information to direct you on how the Citibank of London will release the fund to you.

Moreover,i also want you to fill the appropriate form immediately.

[1] Full Names:_____________
[2] Contact address_________
[3] Direct Telephone No: ____
|4| Occupation : _______

Finally, you are here by advised to call Barrister Bello Ali on his private phone number +2348168426129, to enable him forward your contact information to the Bank for immediate release of the funds as the Next of Kin to my family.

PLEASE REPLY TO HIS PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS: belloali2020@gmail.com, or bello_ali16@yahoo.co.uk,to enable him forward to the Citibank of London for the release of the fund.

Best regards,

DR. Mrs. Dame Patience Jonathan.
