"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,

Iâ€™m Rick C. Seng, retired businessman on sick bed. I will be 81 years on the 7th of July 2023 hoping to celebrate my birthday alive before joining my ancestors. I have suffered series of illness and life is indeed nothing for aged & sick ?? men. The world itself doesnâ€™t belong to anyone as people depart from the earth leaving everything they achieved behind without overseeing it afterwards. My investments and achievements over the years were sold since I cannot longer manage it, my only daughter married Australian they hardly care about me and my beloved wife died in COVID-19. I have sowed funds to hospitals for constant medical care to sick ?? poor people. Now, I decided to setup orphanage home with my stocked funds totaling $36.8 million, I strongly believe you can handle it because it is my last wish on earth which you must execute properly to help all the needy within and outside your community. It must be a very big orphanage home that you will setup with the $36.8M making sure every orphan is well taki

Yours truly,
CEO Rick C. Seng
