"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 beloved friend, It is my pleasure to see your Email on the
world business/jobs and email portals.

My name is Mrs.Susan Wilcott from Romania . I am married to Mr.
Rodney Wilcott, who was an investor here in Edinbough for many
years before he died in 2014. We were married for Twelve years
without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted few
days.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside
my matrimonial home, When my late husband was alive he deposited
a total sum of $5,000,000.00 Dollars (Five Million Dollars) with
a bank in London, United Kingdom.

Presently, this fund is still under the safe keeping of the Bank
in London. Not quite long, i develoved cancer desease and my
Doctor told me that I would not last for the next seven months
due to the nature of my illness. Though what disturbs me most is
my stroke.

Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to
Mosque or church or better still an individual that will utilize
this money the way I am going to instruct. I want a God fearing
individual that will use this fund for charity purposes and give
help to mankind.

I took this bold decision because I don't have any child that
will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not good
people, I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused
by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be
used in an ungodly manner.

Please i want you to contact my lawyer on email for procedures:
