"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 Sir/Madam,

Hope all is well with you.

Its really nice contacting you and hope to have a good business
relationship.

I have urgent Investment proposal from Algeria, as i was
informed, and i think you might be interested.

I was in contact with a high profile past Government Official in
Algeria, who i happen to legally represent as personal attorney.
He informed me that he has some huge funds he wish to invest
abroad which amounts to 370 millions of dollars. He has managed
to acquire this fund during his time of service in the
government.

We need help of foreign company or person to help transfer the
funds abroad for investment after which the funds will be shared
by percentage.

Please inform if you can pose as beneficiary of this funds so
that we can go into more details.

Also be informed that we can show proof of funds.

As a matter of fact, we can show our ONLINE BANK LOGIN, proving
the availability of funds, but this depends on if we can trust
you with funds.

I hope to get feedback from you soon.
