"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!

Dearest

I have to apologize for sending you an unwelcomed message because I know
this is not a predictable way to encourage communication with a stranger at
the same time, forgive me for contacting you without knowing you personally.

In any case, I am writing to you from the hospital where I have been
hospitalized for esophageal cancer over the past six months. In fact, I
have performed many unsuccessful surgeries in the past and recently my
doctor told me that I only have a few periods to live because of the cancer
damage.

After learning that I had a 10% chance to survive another surgery, and a
short period of life gave me a lot of worries because I am a 66-year-old
widow with no children.

Initially, I wanted to create a charity project to fulfill the wish of my
late husband, but my current health condition will not allow me to
implement the project myself.

I decide to call you until I make you the beneficiary of the fund that I
inherited from my late husband so that you can create a charitable project
that benefits street children and orphans in the meantime when you accept
this offer, 70% of the fund will be used for the project and 30% to you.
I hope to hear from you
Thank you very much
