"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: (STRICTLY ATTENTION! DANILO YAKIV).

PLEASE REND ME YOUR HELP FOR MUTUAL-GOODNESS SAKE!!!.

I am Danilo Yakiv, an aid to the Ukrainian ex-MP Igor Kotvitsky. It is no longer news that the Russian led government of Putin has been warring and

devastated my country Ukraine to which we lost our homes, infrastructures, economy/resources, lives and direction. The Ukrainian business-persons and even

the millionaires are running helter-scater to find a way to stash out his/her wealth out of the country before the worst happens.
In this regards, I accompanied the ex-MP Igor Kotvitsky's wife to Hungary by the instruction of my principal Igor Kotvitsky.At the border post-

crossing, we were halted and our luggage checked. A huffing amount of US$50,000,000.00 (Fifty million US dollars) was found in the trunk boxes that we were

conveying to Hungary for safety. Below is the news and publication websites for credible findings about me and my story and essense of my urgent need from

you;-

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10637997/Ukrainian-tycoons-wife-carried-22-million-cash-refugee-border-crossing-EU.html

At this control point, the authority confiscated it but upon certain needs and compromised negotiation US28,000,000.00 (Twenty Eight Million US

dollars) and some euros was declared to the press (which I psychologically understood as an opportuned extortion). Although she was arrested for a while

just for formality sake because the officials have indirectly got some huge fortunes to themselves par the imperative compromise. During this situation I

tactically escaped with some of the luggages because I had the intuition to have entered the border town differently par my professional experience and was

attended by different sections of the customs/security officers who accorded me some "spirit of the service respects' '.

Nevertheless, I finally sorted myself out by giving out some cash that I had on me for this eventuality and other quality-souvenir items from our

gallery to the Officers to had helped me to got into the town with my own baggages of the portion of the said fortunes. There and then, I was assisted to

had deposited my baggages and contents in a security company's warehouse as personal effects to be freighted to another place on the owner's request. There

many other valuables enclosed together in the said baggages which I can not expantiate here until you understandable response to this confidential help

request message of my.

Finally for now, I am going through immigration protocol/procedures as a refugee hence I sincerely need your most sincere mutual assistance to receive the

baggages of money in your peaceful and economically viable country. I will be willing to accept your decision on what you will take as your own share for

your imperatively needed confidential help. For this, I wish that you will part with 40% of the total amount while I invest my part in your country under

your directives and protections to avoid trails and exposition of the fund's source.

Behold!,this fortune transaction requires urgent attention because no one know what could happen next to me anyone and or the money tomorrow. More so,

regarding the Putin-Russian war and threats to probably use nuclear/mass-destrution missiles especially on interferring countries if he is pushed to the

brinks if the money did not leave this country immediately. Please contact me with the email address below for further explanation and the location of the

boxes with evacuation plans. Reply me with these email addresses:- goodyluck21@gmail.com & or toniedecbn2020@gmail.com
