"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!

Hello How is your day, My name
is Miss Desire single and never been married, i am from Sudan in East
Africa, 26 years,Earlier i was residing in Dar fur’sRed Cross Camp in
Chad on January 2007, at a time, there is a division and dispatch of
some of the Red Cross Camp due to the over population of the people in
Chad, i was taken to Senegal West African on 10Th August 2010 where I'm
presently residing in N'dioum Red Cross Camp here in Senegal where i am
seeking political asylum due to the civil war in my country. I am in
suffering and pains here in this Red Cross Camp and i really need to
have a man by my side to encourage me and give me good advice in life
and help me to come out from this situation.









































































































































My late father Dr.Loe Koenders was the Industrial Managing director of
(KOENDERS AND INDUSTRIAL COMPANY LTD) in the federal capital (KHARTOUM)
the economy capital of my Country, and he was also the personal adviser
to the former head of state, before the rebels attacked our house one
early morning and killed my mother and father in a cold blood. It is
only me that is alive now and i managed to serve my life here in Senegal
where i am living now as a refugee. This Red Cross Camp is headed by a
Reverend Father, i used his office computer to send you this email and i
only enter his office when he is less busy in his office.









































































































































My day is very boring over here in Dakar Senegal. ln this Red Cross Camp
we find it hard to go out because we are not allowed to do so, its just
like one staying in the prison and l hope by God's grace l will come
out here soon. I don't have any relatives now that i can go to, all my
relatives ran away in the middle of the war the only person i have now
is Rev. Simon Dickson,He do come to pray for use has been very nice to
me since I came here but I am not living with him rather I am living in
the women's hostel. because the Red Cross Camp have two hostels one for
men the other for women. his is the Reverend Simon Dickson Phone number
( +221-765359970 )so If you call tell him that you want to speak with miss
Desire Koenders, he will send for me in the hostel.









































































































































As a Red Cross Camp here i don't have any right or privilege to any
thing be it money or whatever because it is against the law of this
country. I want to go back to my studies because i only attended my
first year before the tragic incident that lead to my being in this
situation now took place. Honey, please l would like you to know that l
have my late father's statement of account and death certificate here
with me which l will like to send to you to assist me, because when he
was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading bank which he
used my name as the next of kin. The amount in question is $ 5.7( Five
Million Seven Hundred Thousand US Dollars)









































































































































So l will like you to assist me transfer this money to your account and
from it you will send some money for me to get my travelling documents
and air ticket to come over to meet with you. I can't withdraw the money
my self due to my Camp statues here in this country which does not
permit me to do, rather the money can not be transferred in Senegal
where i am in Camp statues. I want you to send me your contact
information's such as









































































































































Your Names ............




































































Age .......................




































































Address ................




































































Telephone .............




































































Your Resident Country ................









































































































































I have got in touch with the bank and made them to know about my plans
to withdraw this money, l also got them aware of the death of my father
and they have acknowledged it with all their confirmation and
verifications. However, they advise me to get in touch with a very
responsible person who will stand on my behalf and my trustee as regards
to this money since l am presently of Camp status over here and
wouldn't be permitted to handle this amount of money, they also let me
know about the bond which they signed with my father that the money will
be handled to me in bulk amount which means that l should decide on if l
should continue with the bank or not.









































































































































I kept this secret to people in the camp here the only person that know
about it is the Reverend because he is like a father to me. So in the
light of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it
to anyone for I am afraid of loosing my life and the money if people
gets to know about it. Remember I am giving you all this information due
to the trust I deposed on you. I like honest, understanding and God
fearing person, truthful and a man of vision,and hardworking.









































































































































waiting to hear from you soonest




































































Thanks Yours in love




































































Desire
