"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 My Beloved One,

How are you today I hope you are doing great. Please bear with me as
this message may come to you as a surprise as there is no formal
notice but find a place in your heart to accommodate me. Please do not
reply if you are not interested.

I am Aisha Muammar Gaddafi, the only daughter of the embattled
president of Libya, Hon. Muammar Gaddafi. I know my message might come
to you as a surprise because you donâ€™t know me, but due to unsolicited
nature of my situation here, I decided to contact you for help since
the death of my father of blessed memory deposited the sum of $15.8M
(fifteen Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars) at the bank in
Burkina Faso which he used my name as the next of kin. I have been
commissioned by the bank to present an interested foreign
investor/partner who can stand as my trustee and receive the fund in
his or her account for a possible investment.

I am in search of an honest and reliable person who will help me and
stand as my trustee so that I will present him or her to the Bank for
the transfer of the fund to his bank account overseas. This is the
reason I contact you believe that you will not betray my trust but
rather take me as your own sister or daughter. If you are interest in
this transaction you have indicate by writing back. Once again Do not
reply if you are not interested, delete from your inbox. Thanks

Yours Sincerely,
Aisha El Gaddafi
