"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!

After the death of my husband and son ,I became the Head of his investment
and just recently, the doctors handling my health issues at

Cancer center: Christie Hospital NHS Trust UK, have said I may not live bey
ond the next two months after my next surgery,but before the

death of my husband we had a plan to use the last days of our lives to dona
te half of what we have worked for to the less privilege and

charity homes and the other half for ourselves, family members and close fr
iends, and it is so unfortunate that my husband is not alive

today to do this with me and I am very weak with cancer and coupled with th
e recent announcement from the doctor, hence I have decided to

do this philanthropic work on behalf of my late husband and I.Presently, I
have willed out almost half of our assets to several

charity homes and to some of the less privileged in different countries. De
spite the agreement between my late husband and we also

agreed to render support to an individual we have not met before in life du
e to the fact when we were still young in life we received an

anonymous help from an individual we did not know and which we have not bee
n able to know till date, the impact we got from such gesture

made us to do same.





I am sorry to inform you that you will never have the chance to know me bec
ause I have just concluded the assignment which my husband and I

have agreed upon before his sudden death and you happened to be the benefic
iary of our last WILL, irrespective of your previous financial

status, hence I need you to do me a favor by accepting our offer.



I have presently instructed my attorney to assist any person I will introdu
ce to him as the beneficiary to the last will in the sum of Ten

Million United State Dollars (US$10,000,000.00) with my bank. I decided to
do this now unconditionally knowing that my days are numbered.



To conclude with this bequest, please provide me with your Data to fully ad
vise my attorney that you are the appointed beneficiary of the



deposit.



Full Names:

Physical address;

Direct telephone number

Occupation

Your age



Note: Please I do not want you to thank me, same gesture was shown to us, a
ll I need you to do is, When you get this fund, use %50 for your

self and the rest to assist the less privileged in your community,this is t
he only way to immortalize us when I am gone. reply

immediately via my direct email mrsdorisred223@gmail.com





Yours Faithfully
