"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!

Hi,

I am writing you this email in good faith but considering the content, I know you will be apprehensive and worried but I am assuring you that, it is made in good faith despite the fact that, the internet world has been invaded and taken over by dishonest people.

I have huge funds with a holding bank in Europe for possible profitable investment windows opportunities in your country. The investments will be under your supervision and management.

Let me introduce myself. I am a retired Nigerian Army Colonel and the former National Security Adviser to the former President of Nigeria, (Goodluck Ebele Jonathan). If you have been following events in my country, you will probably have heard much or little about my person and my present predicament. I am currently being detained by the National security agency in my country over an alleged role I played in the diversion of $2.1billion meant for the purchase of arms in Nigeria.

Read here the historical background: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$2_billion_arms_deal

The funds re-structuring process will be done without the breach of the law and upon receipt of your understanding of my clear intentions, I will avail you the necessary details plus the modalities/process we will undertake to re-structure/re-profile the funds to you for onward investment windows opportunities.

I have great interest in hospitality and real estate industry. I will be glad to look into any of your investment proposals (if any).

Kind regards,
Col. Sambo Dasuki (Rtd.)
