"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!

Greetings to you from Mrs. Evelyn Williams,

Dearest in the Lord,

With due Respect and Humanity I am willing to place this fund into your care as a volunteer project to accomplish I and my late husband's vow which we made to God since we do not have any child of our own. I, Mrs. Evelyn Williams, 63 years old without a child, married to late Engr. Ramsey Williams who was an ambassador before he died of a Cardiac Arteries Operation agreed with this vow. Presently my doctor told me that I may not be able to last for a long period of time due to Cancer of the breast and Kidney including Pneumonia. Therefore, dear child of God, kindly reply to me back for more details as soon as possible together with your personal details to proceed further for the sending of the fund to you immediately.

Please always remember me in your daily prayers.

Thanks and waiting for your quick response.

God bless us,

Mrs. Evelyn Williams
