"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!

Subject: Goodday...

Hello,

My name is Alexei Navalny from Russia whom Vladimir Putin, of Russia, detained and jailled because I was against his evil war plans against Ukraine, killing Russians, Ukraine people and the world in general.

You can read more with below links:

I would be happy to serve the 15 years jail term imposed by Putin but I need to assist Ukraine's displaced people around the world with the money I secretly deposited in one of the Turkish private banks, now such money will not be returned to Russia because of western world blockage against Russia . If you agreed to assist me 25% of the total sum will be for your assistance and the 75% will be used to assist the Ukraine displaced by Putin war. Please kindly keep this a secret.

If you agree and are also willing to keep this transaction confidential, I will send you all the details to approach the bank.

Please reply me here: Alexeinavalny22@protonmail.com

Regards,
Alexei Navalny
