"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!

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.

Hello.

It is times such as this I value the taste of a 1966 Bas Almanac mint grafted wine or a vacation to the Mediterranean just to take my mind off all the heartaches & pains caused by years of conflict within my family. I will get straight to the point so that I won't take much of your time. I am suffering from pancreatic cancer and the medical team over here in London are doing all they can to prolong my days on this earth. A tumor has grown

within my pancreas and my system is totally dysfunctional. I can't seem to eat anymore, and my time is growing nearer as each day passes on. All my life, I have been charitable with my families' wealth; not because I never really worked for it but because I have always had the heart to give to the less privileged so that the Lord can give back to me in his own way. My time is short, I will not be able to continue this journey anymore but I want to give you the responsibility when I am gone to take custody of my inheritance and spread it across millions of charity homes worldwide. I know you would be wondering why don't I contact the charities myself, but my experiences in the past have made me learn that if you put all your eggs in one basket, it would definitely get squashed. There is a need to spread
the wealth around, especially during an economic recession where access to capital is slow.

I will empower you fully but the decision is yours only to make. I need to rest my fingers for a bit but I expect to hear from you, maybe sometime soon because I can't predict my time anymore. The last of my money is the huge cash deposit of ($22.7m). That I have with New Jersey Commercial Bank I want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations and let them know that it is I, Ms.Angelina Mayer, that is making this generous donation. I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I wait for my time to come.

You can reply via my Private Email Address: angelinamayer27@gmail.com

looking forward to hearing from you.

Ms.Angelina Mayer
