"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!

Please forgive me if my request is not acceptable by your kind person.

I am Mr.Francis Hashim, who works in CBI (BURKINA FASO) as a
non-independent non-executive Director and President of CORIS BANK
Intl'. During our last banking audits, we discovered that an account
abandoned belongs to one of our deceased foreign clients, Mr. Wang
Jian, co-founder and co-chair of the HNA Group, a Chinese conglomerate
with important real estate properties throughout the US. in an
accident during a business trip in France on Tuesday.

I came across your e-mail contact prior to a private search while in
need of your assistance also a foreign partner. I am assured of your
capability and reliability to champion this business opportunity when
I prayed about you.

I am writing to request your assistance to transfer the sum of
$15,000,000.00 (Fifteen Million United States Dollars) at its counts
as Wang Jian's last foreign business partner, which I plan use the
fund to invest in public benefit as follows

1. Establish an orphanage home to help orphaned children.
2. Build a hospital to help the poor.
3. Build an asylum for the elderly and homeless.

Meanwhile, before contacting you, I did an investigation to locate one
of the relatives of the late Mr Jian Wang who knows the account, but I
didn't succeed. However, I took this decision to support orphans and
less privileged children with this fund, because I don't want this
fund transferred to our Account of Government treasury as an unclaimed
fund. I am willing to offer you the 50% of the fund for your support
and assistance to transfer the fund to your account.

More detailed information will be sent to the desegregation explaining
