"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!

will never disappoint me or seat on the money. I want to share with you and I will like
all that I will share with you to be between you and I, no third party so that this deal
will not be jeopardized because I will be retiring from the company 2nd week of July 2022
because I do not want the company to suspect me.

I supervised the warehouse Last month I discovered a vault valued at 11.7 Million Great
British Pounds and this trunk have been there for four(6) years as documented in my file
and no one has come for the claim up till date. I investigated and found out it belongs to
Late Mr. Guma A and he is Florida Multi-Millionaire who mysteriously vanished on his
yacht.

With the research I got from the internet His wife, Jaime, and mother, Ellen have been
fighting for more than two years to control of Aguiar's $100million fortune and be assured
that you stand no risk, for source and verification read more about me by clicking this
