"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!

Hello Friend,

This is the story of my life. I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. It
has defied all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only months
to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my
life so well that I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my
business.Though I very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to
people and only focused on my business as that was then only thing I
supported for.But now I regret all I know now there is no life I just want
to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a
second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way of
how I lived. Now that God has called me, I wanted and given most of my
property and assets to members of my immediate and extended family and some
close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I
decided to set goals to charities, as I want it to be one of the last acts
that I do on earth. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I can not
make myself more.

Once, I asked my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the
money I have there to charity in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and
kept the money for themselves. Therefore, I do have more trust, because
they do not seem to be supported by what I have left for them. The last of
my money which no one knows cash deposit is the largest of US$40million
Dollars ($ 40,000,000,00) that I deposited in a bank. I want you to help me
collect this deposit and distribute it to charity organizations.Kindly note
that 35% of this fund must go to the coronavirus victims in your country,
45% of Charity in your country and the other 20% for your effort and time.I
I use my laptop to communicate with you in the hospital. You must answer
back to me if you're interested in carrying out this assignment on
my name.

God be with you.
Dr Fred David
