"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!

This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down.

Greetings to you & your Family.
Sorry for any inconvenience for sending this mail to you as a
stranger. I'm sending this letter to you based on the urgency of this
matter. I found your contact through the internet. I'm here to help
you overcome the challenges created by this health crisis. I offer
several financing options for those looking for help.

I am 67 years old SICK woman . I was diagnosed of Renal Cell Carcinoma
about four years ago, immediately after the death of my late husband.
We married for many years without any a child before he died. Having
been confirmed by my doctor that I may not survive the sickness. I
have been touched to donate from money I inherited from my late
husband for the good work in name of our Almighty God, rather than
allowing this hard earned money to es-cheat to the government
treasure.

As I lay on my sick bed now, I want you to help me in carrying out my
LAST WISH on earth which will be very profitable to you, the poor and
needy around for the glory of Almighty God. I want to ENTRUSTED a
total sum of, 3.700,000 US dollars to you which I want you to
distribute part of 70% of it to help SICK ONES in the Hospital, THE
NEEDY and LESS-PRIVILEGED and other CHARITY HOMES on my behalf. You
will keep 30% for yourself and your family as rewards for this good
services. May our Creator, Almighty God bless you as you read and
reply me in confident, this is highly confidential between us, Be rest
assured that this is 100% legit. As soon as I receive your acceptance
reply, I will instruct my bank to transfer the money to your account
without any hitch or breach of law,

Always remember me in your prayers,

Thanks for your understanding
Regards.
Mrs. Susan A Lucas.
