"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!

Dear Friend,

Estimado amigo,

soy el abogado Kanshi Eme, el abogado personal del fallecido Sr. Michael Frank Taylor, que era contratista de una compaÃ±Ãa de oro aquÃ en Benin.

En diciembre de 2012, mi cliente y su familia perecieron en un choque pero mi cliente hizo un depÃ³sito fijo por valor de $ 10.5M), y al vencimiento su banco comenzÃ³ a contactarlo pero no obtuvo respuesta. En consecuencia, el banco me emitiÃ³ un aviso como su abogado para proporcionar el pariente mÃ¡s cercano o confiscar la cuenta despuÃ©s de 5 aÃ±os como dice la ley de este paÃs.

Desde entonces he realizado varias consultas para localizar a cualquiera de mis familiares extendidos, pero esto tambiÃ©n ha fracasado. Como no he podido ubicar a los familiares durante varios aÃ±os, solicito su consentimiento para presentarlo como el familiares de los fallecidos para que se le paguen los ingresos de esta cuenta valorados en $ 10.5 millones, luego compartimos el dinero.

SÃ© que tal vez se estÃ© preguntando por quÃ© he decidido confiarle esta gran suma, podrÃa haber hecho el negocio solo, pero no hay forma de que pueda tener Ã©xito sin una mano extranjera, por eso busco su ayuda para que podamos comparte el beneficio juntos.

Tengo todos los documentos legales necesarios que se pueden usar para respaldar el reclamo en su nombre. Todo lo que requiero es su cooperaciÃ³n honesta y mÃ¡xima para que podamos ver este acuerdo a travÃ©s de. Le garantizo que esto se ejecutarÃ¡ bajo un acuerdo legÃtimo que lo protegerÃ¡ de cualquier violaciÃ³n de la ley.

PÃ³ngase en contacto conmigo a travÃ©s del correo electrÃ³nico o llÃ¡meme al nÃºmero de telÃ©fono que aparece arriba para permitirme que le diga los detalles necesarios para que podamos continuar.

Gracias y que Dios te bendiga ya que estoy esperando tu respuesta urgente.
