"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!

My name is Major Kenneth Edwards. I am a Nigerian soldier, currently working with Maj. Gen. Chris Musa, the Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) in the Northeast Nigeria, on war against Boko Haram and Islamic State of West Africa Province Militants a (TERRORIST) group.
Please am contacting you to help me receive the money we recovered during our raids in terrorist camp I and my colleague recover the money and decided to share it for our benefit. I want you to help me receive it into your custody, I have carefully packaged the money in a box and have made contact with a friend who is working with the UNITED NATIONS RED CROSS here in Nigeria. I have told him that the luggage belongs to one of our soldier that died during the attack but before giving up he told me to make sure the luggage get to his family.

I need someone I can work with on trust and that is why I contacted you. So if you accept, I will put you forward as the beneficiary/owner of the funds and then the box shall be deposited on your name as the beneficiary and the Red Cross Agent will deliver the box into your custody anywhere in the world. I just need your acceptance and all is done. I have 100% assurance that you will surely receive the box without any hitch as every arrangement is already made only looking who to assist me. I am presently in a hospital recovering from injuries Sustained in a suicide bomb attack, that took place during our combat with some Militant,
Once I confirm your interest to my proposal and your positive reply then I will proceed with the arrangement to move the consignment out of the trouble area and in less than 7 days the money should be in your safe custody. Finally, at conclusion of the deal then I will give you 30% of the total sum $14.000.000.00. The least I expect from you is betrayal. God will see us through.
Waiting to read from you.
