"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: PLEASE GET BACK TO ME

This is Marty Lammah originally from Sierra-Leone, I am a
widow with a son who is seven now. I hope you are well doing today? I got
your contact from a directory and picked interest to communicate you by
faith, though we have not met before, I believe we can achieve something
together. My husband died few years ago after battling with brain cancer,
before his death, he deposited ($10.5 Million) in one of the financial
institution. He wanted to establish coco processing factory and also real
estate business.

After the death of my husband, I have been receiving all manner of life
threats from the family members, now the pressure is getting more severe I
decided to leave this country. Please can you partner with me and receive
the fund in your account while I come over there with my son for
investment. If you agree, get back for more details and what will be your
commission for the assistance. I wait for your reply,

All the properties and some of the local accounts have been forcefully
collected from me, I tried using relevant measures to stop them, but the
pressure continued to the point of serious life threats, so my local
pastor advised me to leave the country for the safety of my life and son.
What I am informing you should not be passed to third-party for security
purpose, but my joy today is that I succeeded in securing the document of
the deposit US$10.5 Million he made in Republic of Benin. Since
Sierra-Leone is close to my present location (Calavi in Republic of Benin)
I have decided to invest the money outside this region into real estate
business. I can't access the fund here due to the clause attached to it,
unless it is first shifted to a foreign account

There is another business concerning gold, which I will discuss later
after the completion of this fund, Confirm receipt of this mail

Email me : Iammrsmartylammah@outlook.com

Thanks
Mrs Marty Lammah
