"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 professional life has been a real tourism as much as I have always lived away from my country. First to Kuwait, where I worked in the oil industry for two years. Then I was in the Republic of Benin (year 2001) where I implemented several companies (real estate, engineer). It is in this country so welcoming that I have experienced true happiness, that of marriage with a Belgian who also worked in this country. Unfortunately we did not have the chance to have children. After five (05) years of common life, my husband lost his life following a long illness. So I stayed again alone with a Butler at my disposal and a dog until this cancer Vienna limit my life. It will be almost four years that I have been fighting this disease and medicine can no longer nothing following the results of the medical examinations that my days are numbered according to the investigation of my treating doctor. I had blocked this important sum in one of the banks of BENIN for a construction project. I will be rigged given to you this money to ensure that my donation project resulted. I want you to accept this because it is a gift from a dying woman and this without asking anything in return. Please answer me quiqly to my email address as follows: brigittemeyer1944@gmail.com
