"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 esteemed friend,

Assalamu Alaikum,

May i use this medium to open a mutual communication with you seeking your
acceptance towards investing in your country under your management as my
partner? My name is Aisha Al- Quaddafi and presently living in Burkina
Faso, i am a widow and single mother with three children, the only
biological daughter of late Libyan President (Late Colonel Muammar Al-
Quaddafi ) and presently i am under political asylum protection by the
Burkinabe government.

Do understand that since after the death of my father we have been betrayed
seriously by friends, countries and associates. I was in Algeria, from
where I moved to Oman after being expelled from Algeria. We were accepted
into Oman by the Omani Royal Family and we have been living in that country
before I moved down to Burkina Faso.

I have funds worth (Twenty Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars) USD$27,500,000:00 US Dollars which i want to entrust to you for
investment projects in your country. If you are willing to handle this
project on my behalf, kindly reply urgently to enable me to provide you
more details to start the transfer process, I am apologetic for my photos.
I will enclose them in my next mail and more about me when I hear from you
okay. I shall appreciate your urgent response through my private email
address below:-

Best Regards,

Mrs. Aisha Gaddafi
