"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!

This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "million dollars" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)

Subject: Good day my dear,

Good day my dear,

Please i apologies with you to exercise a little patience and read through my letter i am contacting you for obvious reason and good important business, I am Mrs. Aisha Muammar Gaddafi, the only daughter of the embattled president of Libya, Hon. Muammar Gaddafi. I am aware that this is certainly not a conventional way of approaching an unknown person, but due to unsolicited nature of my situation here in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso i decided to contact you please bear with me. I am writing this mail to you with tears and sorrow from my heart, I have passed through pains and sorrowful moment since the death of my father. At the meantime, my family is the target of western nations led by NATO who wants to destroy my father at all costs.

Our investments and bank accounts in several countries are their targets to freeze. My Father of blessed memory deposited the sum of (Seven million dollars) in Coris Bank Burkina Faso West Africa which he used my name as the next of kin and i have been commissioned by the Coris Bank to present an interested foreign investor/partner who can stand as my trustee and receive the fund in his account as my foreign investor/partner due to my refugee status here in Burkina Faso, honestly i am in search of an honest and reliable person who will help me and stand as my trustee so that i will present him to the Bank for the transfer of the fund to his bank account overseas. I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and i believe you will not betray my trust but rather take me as your own sister or daughter.

If this transaction interests you, you don't have to disclose it to anybody because of what is going on with my entire family, if the united nation happens to know this account will be freeze as they freeze others, so please keep this transaction only to yourself until we finalize it. I will enclose it in my next email to you and more about me when i hear from you okay.

Thanks and have a nice time.
Yours Sincerely,
Aisha Gaddafi
