"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,

I am Angelia Fields who was involved in an auto car accident
in Alabama in the year 2010 which lead to the great loss of
my family member of which I am the only survival. Manley Ray
Williams, 19 years old reckless driving caused the murder of
my family members of who are my mother Jessica Wyatt Fields,
32; Tony Ray Fields, 9, and John Clay Fields, 7. However,
when this incident occurs, I was only 12 years old of which
I only sustained injuries and had to be airlifted to the
Children’s Hospital in Birmingham which happened on the
Fri., Nov. 12, 2010.

Sequel to this fact, I am presently 16 years old and I am
now called upon by my late mother bank in Europe to come
over and have access to my late mother WILL with a bank in
Spain. This WILL of inheritance amount to US$6.5 million
dollars only. But right now, I need an assistance of a
reputable business individual; who can assisting me with any
business venture since I am still very young to hold a
company of my own. More also I do not have any idea what so
ever which area of business to invest in. Have in mind that
my late mother Jessica was a member of Souls Harbour Baptist
Church and loved her church family. She worked at Regions
Bank and substituted at B.B Comer.

For further clarification on my late mother death and my
entire family incident, view the link below.
