"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!

From:-   Mr.Faizal Dhao

         c/o late John Garang, late Vice President of Sudan

Email:- mrfaizaldhao@gmail.com



Hello

I Mr.Faizal Dhao a close confidant to the late former vice president of Sudan, Mr John Garang, who happened to be the first vice president of Sudan after a protracted civil war in Sudan. Before the death of Mr.Garang by helicopter crash on July 30, 2005,he instructed me to move the consignment to a Security Vault Company . This consignment contains US$4.5m (Four million and five hundred thousand U.S Dollars) that was meant for some of the vice president foreign associates.

This money was from the donation that the United Nation donated to the Sudan People Liberation Movement (SPLM) of which I am the treasurer,but because of the sudden death of the vice president and the threat to my life, I have now relocated for asylum.

Nobody knows about this consignment, except me and the late vice president, even the foreign partner is not aware that the consignment has been moved and all my effort to traced the foreigners has proved abortive,that is why I am now seeking your assistant to claim this consignment before it stay too long in the security company and I have all the relevant document with me, but because of my present position, I cannot claim this consignment myself.

Nothing much is requested from you, except TRUST and MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING,Immediately you signify your intention to assist in this transaction I shall send all the necessary document to you and we shall plan on how to meet to claim the consignment. More so I will need your assistance in investing my own share of this money.

On the receipt of your consent, I shall forward to you the contact information of the security company for you to make inquiries about all this. But if for any reason you are not interested, do not hesitate to let me know, and also feel free to ask any question as regards this transaction and I shall be willing to explain to you, also endeavor to keep this transaction as confidential as this is purely a deal.

I shall be expecting your urgent response.

Regards.

Mr.Faizal Dhao
