"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!

Bonjour,



J'ai une proposition à vous faire et j'aimerais que vous m’accordiez tu
temps.



J'ai été l'homme de main d'un ancien ministre centrafricain Mr Joseph
Kalité, assassiné à l'arme blanche par la rébellion Anti-Balaka.

Nous étions venus trois mois avant sa mort dans un pays voisin avec deux
caisses qu'il avait gardé dans une société de sécurité. Il a fait établir
une procuration à mon nom afin de retirer les caisses à son absence.



Après sa mort, je me suis rendu dans le pays ou les caisses s'y trouvent
avec ma procuration. J'ai pu avoir accès aux caisses; une d'entre elle
contient de l'or et l'autre une forte somme d'argent estimée à 12.000.000
million Euros.



Cela devrait servir en cas de force majeur à payer des armes.

N'étant pas politicien ou encore moins rebelle, le régime de mon ex patron
a été renversé et je ne dispose plus de moyen nécessaire pour retirer la
caisse de 65 Kilogrammes d’or (AU) Brut alluvial (Poudre et Lingot) et la
forte somme secrètement gardée.



Cependant, je recherche de l'aide ou un partenariat. Si possible des
acheteurs!



Je tiens à vous avertir que cette proposition est sans risque car tout est
à mon nom.



Je me ferai le plaisir de vous faire parvenir un échantillon de l'or avec
les papiers justificatifs pour vous prouver la véracité de cette
proposition d'affaire.

Je vous prie de prendre en considération cette proposition, car elle nous
sera bénéfique.



J'aimerais bien que cela ce passe dans la plus grande discrétion.




Amicalement,



Votre correspondant






Hello,



I have a proposition for you and I want you to give me you time.



I was the henchman of a former Central Minister Mr Joseph Kalité murdered
with knives by the rebellion Anti-Balaka.

We came three months before his death in a neighboring country with two
boxes he had kept in a security company. It has set a proxy in my name to
remove the boxes his absence.



After his death, I went into the country or the crates are there with my
attorney. I had access to funds; One of them contains gold and the other a
large sum of money estimated at 12,000,000 million Euros.



This should be used in case of force majeure to buy weapons.

Not being a politician or less rebellious, diet my ex boss was overthrown
and I no longer has the necessary means to remove the body of 65 kilograms
of gold (AU) Gross alluvial (Powder and Bullion) and strong sum kept
secret.



However, I am looking for help or a partnership. If possible buyers!



I want to warn you that this proposal is safe because everything is in my
name.



I will be pleased to send you a sample of gold with supporting papers to
prove to you the truth of this business proposal.

Please consider this proposal as it will benefit us.



I would like that is happening in the utmost discretion.




Sincerely,



Your correspondent
