"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!

My Beloved,

Greeting to you I am Mrs Jenan Al-Attiyah From Kuwait, a devoted christian,
married to Dr Khalid Al-Attiyah who was a finance Director Kuwait Petroleum
corporation for Years before his death 30 November 2020.. We were married
without a child due to my fibroid problem. Since my husband's death I have
been sick, recently My doctor said that the sickness has gotten to a bad
stage. When my Late husband was alive he made a deposit of
USD1.650.000.00 ( One Million Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States
Dollars) .This is our life time savings.. Dear, I have personal love for
your people because of their hardwork, sincerity and good Christian life. I
want to transfer this money to you. I want you to use 80% of this money to
help the poor orphans, Disable, sick suffering cancer, render help in the
church and homeless within your city , then take the remaining amount to
take care of your own home . I took this decision because I cannot abandon
the money in the bank beside me and my late husband vowed to use our last
wealth for Charity. All I want from you is to receive this money and
accomplish my last wish, as I want this to be the last good thing I did on
earth before death comes, so that even in death my soul shall rest in
peace. If you are sincerely ready from your heart to do this goodwill
service write to me so that I will give you more details. Thanks and Remain
Blessed.. Yours Loving Sister,

Mrs Jenan Al-Attiyah.
