"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!

you to help me transfer sum huge fund, haven sold off my five oil
wells in one of the oil rich African countries, and looking to invest
in other areas, though it was not logically concluded for reasons best
known to you, but you showed enormous trust and worthiness then that
was recommendable and I swore not to forget.

I want to use this opportunity to gladly inform you that I was finally
able to transfer out that fund through another good person from Chile,
and we are currently investing in Lithium because Chile has the
biggest reserve of lithium in the world today.

showing my appreciation to you, fill the below information so that my
