"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!

I enclose my personal photos, proof of payment of the fund, my international passport, my late father; My father's death certificate and a four page will from my late father. I am sending you all this so that you can have confidence that you are dealing with a real person. Please reply to me once you have read this message and the documents so that I know how to proceed.
Sincerely,
Note: Below is the main reason I am contacting you.
(1) Provide a new empty bank account to which this money will be transferred. if you do not want us to use your personal account.
