"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!

President Mr. Salva Kiir and the rebel leader Mr. Riek Machar, I have

I am soliciting for your partnership on trust to come and invest with
my fund deposited at Bank in France by my late husband, I will

this fund to your country, because my life is no longer safe in
Africa, since the rebels are looking for the families of all the oil
business partners in the country, very scaring I wish you will
