"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: FROM MR JUDE EDO

Hello,

I am Jude Edo, legal attorney to the late Muammar Gaddafi. This is to
inform you that I need a partner who can work with me and receive this fund
as next of kin to the beneficiary Muammar Gaddafi of Libya. He deposited
this fund years ago since 2002 hoping to use it for a refinery in China,
unfortunately for him, he never introduced anybody as his next of kin,
anybody i fixed his name as next of kin will inherit the fund, amounting
$150m USD.

I want you and i to be in the position of this fund, all we need to do is
to process for change of ownership then the transfer of this fund will go
directly to you. In short, after the change of ownership you will have an
online account with the bank. If you are interested, you and I will share
this fund 50/ 45, i will have 50% then you have 45% the remaining 5% is for
any expenses spent, meaning any amount you spend or i spend we will be
given in that 5%. 100% risk free, I can guarantee you. Reply to
judeedoedojude1@gmail.com

Yours Faithfully,

Mr Jude Edo
