"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. VONDA SABULI BANYERE FAMILY.
Democratic Republic of the Congo
THIS IS MY EMAIL ADDRESS (mrssabulibanyere2020@gmail.com)

I was privileged to come across your contact through my personal check
with the GCC Investment Trade Real Estate Exhibition portal and I decided
that I should establish a communication with you to acquiring some
information on lucrative investment or real estate investment in any
other Part of the world. However, I will appreciate if you can be of good
assistance to me as I am willing to invest this money heavily in the real
estate investment or any other investment sector provided I will have a
good partner or investor as well as fund manager who will guide on this
business framework and as thus, share with me on the ROI in any venture
which we have considered lucrative to invest in. I am (MRS.VONDA SABULI
BANYERE) a widow the wife of Late (MR. KIALA BANYERE FAMILY.) who was a
Gold and Diamond Dealer in Democratic Republic of the Congo.

I am contacting you based on my need to have a foreign partner in your
country as its necessary due to my plans to relocate from here and to
establish a private company under your care in your region. I have not
managed any business before but i always have a dream of running my own
company establishment hence it has been my desire to recapitalize in the
GCC market. Basically, I am married to late (MR. KIALA BANYERE) As the
present political instability in my country Democratic Republic of Congo,
does not encourage financial investment, as the environment is not
conducive for investment and most of all security is not insured, just as
reported by international media.

Myself and my only son ( Mr. Dennis John Banyere) have decided to solicit
for your assistance to transfer the sum of USD$20.5Million United States
Dollars) to your personal company or your private bank s account, pending
if the fund will be safe without any problem. This money was part of the
fund secured by my late husband when he was still in power. As the wife,
he relied on me; my attention was to manage this said amount, in case of
unforeseen circumstances.

This fear was actualized on when his bodyguard, Mr. Rashed assassinated my
husband on a cold blood (May his soul rest in peace, Amen), Presently
this fund is currently deposited with a private Security and finance
company in South Africa in favors of my son, he is presently residing as
an Asylum seeker in South Africa and the financial law of South Africa
does not gives us some certain financial right as a result of Asylum
seeker, So have we decided not to invest this fund here in Africa coupled
the way this fund was acquired as well as the pressure in my family from
my husband first wife and her son (President Joseph Desire Kabila) who is
currently succeeding my late husband as my country president?

Please do not hesitate to contact my son (Mr. Dennis John Banyere) on his
direct Email Address dennisbanyerejohn5050@gmail.com.so that he will
direct you on how we can start the transfer. AND his Number IS: 27 630 125
998.

God bless you as you helps this family in dare need of your assistance.
For your assistance we have agreed to offer you 20% of the total sum,
while 70% will be for our investment in your country and 10% will be set
aside to take care of all related expenses. Please your assistance is
highly needed; you are required to maintain the most confidentiality of
this transfer and Please do not forget to Contact my son (Mr. Dennis John
Banyere) on his above Email:
