"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!

In view of the above, he have decided to continue his donation of $8Billion Dollars to randomly selected individuals worldwide each person receiving {$6,800,000.00} Six Million Eight Hundred Thousand United Dollars only despite his present predicament which he strongly believed that the prayers of the less previlages will set him free at the apointed time without worries, He told me he is making this donation in order to build a better world of tolerance, acceptance, equality and opportunity for all and also wishes to contribute to the elimination of poverty and famine, and to support development, health and education in the most deprived communities.
