"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!

- "huge sum of money" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
- "is highly confidential" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
- "is 100% risk free" (almost true for the criminal trying to scam you - arrests of online criminals are rare)

Dear,Sir/Madam.

I am writing this mail to you with tears and sorrow from my

heart. My name is Miss Susan Laboso, 25years old female and

I am from Kenya.

My father was (Late Mr. Lorna Laboso) the former Assistant

Minister of Home Affairs in Kenya. My later father Mr.Lorna

Laboso and the former Kenyan Road minister Dr. Kipkalya Kones

has been on board the Cessna 210, which was headed to Kericho

and crashed in a remote area called Kajong'a, in western

Kenya. The plane crashed occurred on the Tuesday 10th, June,

2008.You can read more about the crash through the below

After the burial of my late father, my stepmother and my

uncles conspired and sold my father’s properties to an

Expertrate in China which they shared the money among

themselves and left me with nothing because i am the only

surviving daughter, One faithful morning, I opened my

father's briefcase and found out a documents which stated

that my Late Father deposited a huge amount of money into a

Bank in First National Bank in South Africa with my name as

the next of kin.And I am currently staying in South Africa as

a refugee asylum seeker and I have decided to transfer this

money to a foreign country where I can invest it.

I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money

in South Africa because the financial law and Regulations of

the Republic of South Africa do not permit us financial

rights to such huge sum of money.

In view of this,I cannot invest the fund in Johannesburg,

South Africa. Moreover,the South Africa monetary policy/law

does not allow such investment by an asylum seeker or

Refugee.
Also if you are willing to assist me, I have agreed to offer

you 50% of the total money, while 50% is for me and it will

be for a joint business venture in your country.

Above all, I must let you know that this transaction is 100%

risk free and the nature of your business does not

necessarily matter. Finally, you are to view the stories
about the crash through the below

sh/index.html

So please if you are interested to help me claim this fund

kindly get back to me so that I will give you the details and

also send my Refugee Paper to you including the deposit

certificate i found from my late father`s briefcase.

Reply me through my private email address for more details

and clear explanations.Please, this transaction is highly

confidential for security purposes and your quick reply will

be highly appreciated.

I hope to hear from you as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Susan Laboso.
