"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 Ms. Beline Kra,
Dear Belove

I am Mrs. Beline Kra from Israel to widow in the afternoon Mr. Sam Kra I am 70 years old, I am a Christian, I suffer from breast cancer for a long time, from all indications my condition is deteriorating and it is quite obvious That I will not live for more than three months, according to my doctors, and in all aspects indicative of medical analysis, this is because the stage of cancer has reached a very bad stage that does not hope for me to be a live person again ,

My late husband died during the French incursion against terrorism in Côte d'Ivoire, and during the period of our marriage we were unable to produce children, my late husband was very rich and after his death I inherited all his business and wealth. The doctors have advised me that I can not live more than four months,

So now I decide to share the share of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the church in America, Africa, Asia and Europe, especially to create a solution to the problem of the less privileged households and the orphanage.

I chose it after visiting the website that I prayed for; I am willing to donate $ 2.5 million to the underprivileged. Please, I want you to keep in mind that the fund is in a bank in Ivory Coast and my instruction will be presented in a money transfer application in your name. Contact me through my email belinekra1@gmail.com
