"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!

Greeting

I am. Olive Nizam Yusof The daughter of the woman who was sick and
died of cancer sickness (c) my precious mom may her soul rest in
perfect peace.

My mother contacted you some time ago in respect to the funds transfer
of her late husband Yusof Nizam Yusof, to help take care of me Olive
Yusof Nizam Yusof, before my mother passed a way.

My Father family members wanted to claim all that my father left for
my mother due her condition, but my mother fought to made sure they
did not collect it until she died, I am very happy that the man from
Japan came for our rescue and helped my mother in claiming all my late
fatherâs property

She waited for you to follow up in saving her late husband money but
you back up thinking it was all internet fake messages send to collect
money from people.

she knows that it not easy to achieve, she understand that so many bad
people has made the good once to become bad also. She understand that
it is not your fault.
My Mother issued a cashier check to you for your help initially
although you backed out thinking that the funds transfer was illegal.

Well, everything was legal and legit and went well through the
assistance of a Japanese business man who is name is Mr. Haruki
Kintarou, the funds transfer was successful through him.

I am now with a new family in Kasugai Japan and am very happy again in
LIFE, because the new family I am staying with takes me as they only
daughter but being an orphan is so challenging but am happy.

In a way to appreciate her kind gesture before she pass away, she
dropped a cashier cheque of ( One million two hundred thousand USD
($1,200,000.00) before her death in your name and instructed her
personal Rev Father who was praying for us when she is alive. Rev.
Jude Jimmi to make sure you receive the total amount without any
problem.


So feel free to contact THE MAN that was praying for y mother before
she pass on any time you want, because my mother put the Draft on
(high Security Priorities) no one will have access to it.

Like I have told you, the offer was deposited in AIB in Ireland so I
will advise you to hurry up and get back to me so that we can work it
together and get the offer out from this bank.


This is her little way of saying thank you for your initial help. She
also makes a comment that you should also use some of the money out in
the total amount to help those who needs help.
