"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!

Good day
Peace be with you, within the name of Almighty God.
Please acknowledge my feelings of conciliation for abusing your privacy
with this post.
I'm writing you from a hospital within the Ivory Coast where i used to be
hospitalized for vaginal malignancy that has spread gradually and typically
to the lungs and liver.
I had two failed surgeries and at this point, there's only a 1% chance of
me surviving further surgery.
The recent computerized tomography (CT) results I had last week showed that
i might not live for quite two months thanks to cancer damage.
In its current form, the Ivory Coast hospital authorities have decided to
transfer me to a different hospital in Belgium, so i will be able to be in
emergency surgery next week since the hospital in Belgium has more advanced
medical facilities.
Clearly, I probably won't survive further surgery and now I even have
chosen to accompany you to form you the beneficiary of the fund which I
acquired from my late dad.
As soon as you acknowledge receipt of my request, i will be able to offer
you additional details.
Thanks
