"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!

Dear Sir/Madam,

RE-$42,500,000.00 (FOURTH TWO MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS) FOR INVESTMENT.

I wish this proposal will not embarrass you as I had no previous correspondence with you.

I am Mr. Ali Rohit, a Libyan national. My objective is to establish a viable business relationship with you. I was a member of Late.Col.Muammar Gaddafi?s regime. At the peak of the rebel attack against our Government, it was unanimously agreed that every member of the cabinet fought to ensure we were not humiliated out of power, Hence the need for everyone to stamped for safety. And to hide or take refuge in any opportunity.

Whilst I am yet in a hide out since then trying to find my way out of Libya territory. But my most predicament is the available cash ($42,500,000.00) at my disposal which I am willing to part with or your organization overseas so you could invest it wisely into a viable and profit yielding venture in your country. It is my cogent believe that the profit so accrued from the investment placement annually may be plough back to me for upkeep in any place or country I may finally be granted refuge.

I am ready to dialogue and agree in terms and conditions with you if you can accept these funds for investment on my behalf. Interestingly, I have arranged with the attorney to document and perfected the release of the funds for investment on my behalf. However, I earnestly advise you to keep this
Transaction absolutely confidential due to my safety.

Finally, no matter what your response may be, kindly advise me without any delay to enable me know the next line of action.

Thank you
Yours sincerely.
Mr.Ali Rohit.
