"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: DEAREST ONE PLEASE BE GOOD TO ME

I am 28 years old. I am from Granada,in the City in Nicaragua but my parents have their businesses in Ukraine and my 2 sisters grew up in Ukraine.

Before my Father died,he left behind $30,000,000.00USD with the Ukraine International Bank,he made me the legal owner of the money.

My uncle has changed my father's personal assets to his names. I discovered a letter in my uncle's closet and in that letter,I found out that my uncle and his wife have changed my Father Tie company to their name,I have no right to my father's company in Ukraine any longer.

In order for my uncle and his wife not to kill me,I ran for safety,so I decided to run away from the house. I am now in a hidden place in Georgia very far away from Ukraine.

I am presently in a church while my $30,000,000.00 USD funds is at the airport,i left the consignment and some other vital documents at the airport.

I requested that you help me to transfer this money to your account for investment purposes and to continue my studies from where I stopped.

I will give you all the information you need after I hear from you. I am in a sincere desire for your humble assistance in this regard.

Miss. Daniela Lucas
