"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 friend.
I'm Mrs.Wendy Adam Boni., a 51years old dying woman who was diagnosed
for cancer about 4 years ago a native of Burkina Faso West Africa, but
reside in Indonesia, I have decided to donate my late husband fund the
sum of ($2,000.000.00) to you for charitable goals.

I want you to use this fund to help the orphanage homes, poor, sick
ones in the hospital, widows, women with cancer, and in the work of
the God ,since i do not have any child to inherit the fund.
I took this decision because I can't take this money to the grave, I
don't have any child that will inherit this money, again I and my late
husband vowed to use our last wealth to help the less privileged since
we have no child.

Beloved I don't need telephone communication because of my health
condition please reply me through my private email, for more details.
Proverbs19:17,he who gives to the poor lends to the Lord and the Lord
will reward such a person for his good work. Beloved let us join hands
together to help our fellow brothers and Sister who are in need, sick
and homeless, so that blessings of God will be our portion while glory
goes to the Lord our creator. I am waiting for your soonest response.
Thanks and God Bless you.

Yours Loving Sister in Christ.
Mrs.Wendy Adam Boni.
