"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: GREETINGS TO YOU ALL ::::::

Hello Dearest Friend,

My Name is Mr ALEXANDREGUY FRANCESCODEROTH, the Chief Operating Officer
of (B.O.A) Bank of Africa and I am in need of a reliable foreigner to
carry out this important deal.

An account was opened in my bank by one of my customers in the name of
MR. THOMAS BAHIA a Dutch National from Germany who made a fixed deposit
of $17,800,000.00 ( Seventeen Million, Eight hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) and never show up again and I later discovered that he died with
his entire family members on a plane crash that occurred in Libya on the
12th
of May 2010 and below is a link for your view..

Now I want to present a foreigner as next of kin to late Thomas so we
can make the claim and you can contact me if you are interested so I
can give you more detailed information about this transaction. For the
sharing of the money will be shared in the ratio of 50% for me, 40%
for you and 10% to cover our expenses after the deal.

Now the total amount to be transferred is $17.4 million because of the
interest the fund has accumulated since 2010.

Please keep this absolutely confidential weather interested or not.

Thanks.
Yours sincerely
Mr ALEXANDREGUY FRANCESCODEROTH,
(alexandreguyfrancescoderothsch@gmail.com)
