"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!

Hi Dear,

My apology as I am contacting you through email; It is because it serves as the fastest and more convenient way to get to you, my name is Ilana Solomon Shneor a widow from Israel born in Austria. I understand we have not known each other before now, but my desire to invest in your country inspired me to contact you as I believe that our world is a global village where one can establish a good business and investment relationship before meeting each other physically.

I have a proposition involving a fund transaction unfinished by my late Husband who died as the result of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We planned to invest in the Dubai 2020 Expo before his death, due to my health condition I can’t handle the transaction. I solicit partnership with companies/individual business and NGO foundations that lost so much in the cause of the COVID-19 situation. My desire is to partner with profitable businesses.

I will appreciate your reply for more details about me and the transaction on how we can proceed to move the fund to you by the security company under a contract. Please Respond to me on my private email: ilanasoloshneor@kakao.com

Sincerely,

Ilana Solomon Shneor(Mrs.)
