"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!

But, not quite long, I was arrested, together with his wife and son, in
connection with the 27th July, 2003, failed coup for working in the household
of the ex-president Joseph Estrada .Althought i was later granted bailed
as there was no substantial evidence against me , now I have been released

to reach the outside world to prove my innocence.

All, I want from you is to assist me make claims of some funds, I did deposited
