"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 MRS YEETY BAYARMAA

Greetings Dearest Beloved,

I know that this letter may be a very big surprise toyou, I came across your email contact from my personal search and I instructedthe doctor here in this hospital to help me email you and i believe that youwill be honest to fulfill my final wish before i will die.

I am Mrs. Yeety Bayarmaa, I am 66 years old, FromMongolia, and I am suffering from a long time cancer of the breast. From allindication my condition is really deteriorating, and my doctors havecourageously advised me that I may not live beyond 3 month; this is because thecancer has reached a critical stage.

I was married to late Dr. Bayramaa Altangerel, gold& diamond exportation) in Burkina Faso, West Africa, where we live all ourLives for Thirty-two years before he died in the year2004. But is quiteunfortunately, He died after a Cardiac Arteries Operation that lasted only forfour days.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I depositedall the sum of $5.8million dollars with a Bank in Ouagadougou- Burkina Faso,where we spend our life together in Burkina Faso.

Presently, this money is still in their custody, andthe management just wrote me as the Legitimate beneficiary to come forward toreceive the money after keeping it for so long or rather issue a letter ofauthorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I cannot come overas a result of my illness, or they get it confiscated.

Presently, I’m with my laptop in a hospital where Ihave been undergoing treatment. I have since lost my ability to do anythingmyself and my doctors have told me that I have only 3 month to live.

Now that i am about to end the race like this, withoutany family members and no child. It is my last wish to see that this money isinvested, but you will assure me that you will take 50% of the money and give50% to the orphanages home in your country for my heart to rest.

I want your good humanitarian, to also use this moneyto fund churches, orphanages and widows around. I must let you know that thiswas a very hard decision, but I had to take a bold step towards this issuebecause I have no further option. I hope you will help see my last wishes cometrue.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you thecontact of the Bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority which will provethat you are the new beneficiary of my funds, and the documents concerning thedeposit. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.Hope to hear from you soonest. I am waiting your response. your Reply to myprivate mail address (mrsyeety_bayarmaa20@yahoo.com)

Yours Sick Sister in Christ
Mrs. Yeety Bayarmaa.
