"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!

I would appreciate it if the content of this letter is kept strictly confidential and respects the integrity of the information.

I am Aisha Al-Gaddafi , the Daughter of late Col. Muammar Gaddafi, former Libya Leader who died on October 20, 2011. I have the believe and understanding that my late father's death was masterminded by

International community is based on the role my late Father has shown to the western world over his leadership in our country Libya . They have taken all that I suffered and saved for since his death including some of my treasure, houses and bank accounts closed by the new Government.

Hence, I am contacting you to assist me in removing the sum of Sixty million United States dollars ($60.000.000.00) deposited with a deposit company in Istanbul Turkey.

with my son with the help of a security guard on duty that fateful day. I manage to crossed the border and I am presently into hiding in Oman without any other means of communication unless my laptop hoping

to arrange for my traveling out possible to Europe to safeguard my life because I know that the regime of my father has collapse after his death .Please for your kind assistance I will offer you 30% of the total

sum, all the legal documentation concerning the deposit are with me, I will only write power of attorney making you the new beneficiary of the deposit so that the security company can release the consignment to you. Bear in mind that the funds was deposited with the security and deposit firm as household effect, therefore they do not know the real content, so you are going to collect the consignment as house effect

from the security company where as only you and me know the real content, Once you successfully collect the consignment from the security company you will send me with some money so that I can arrange for my traveling where we can meet ourselves for disbursement. May God/Allah grant you the heart to assist me and my only son in this our trial period, please never you abandon me with my son just because we are Arabs, but I want to assure you that I am of a clean heart that was brought up under western education but married to a cruel family Get back with your details on my private email aishaalgaddafi21@gmail.com so that we can proceed without delay because l am here without help from no one.
