"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!

A friend of mine whose his father died, earlier (4) four Months ago, he is the only son of his father and his Mother was late a year and 3 months before the death of his father, he is the only son left. His father was a king, which their town citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death, He was like a prince to him and he is the only person who supposed to take care of his wealth.

His father left the sum of ($Eleven Million Two Hundred Thousand united state dollars ($11.2mUSD) in a diplomatic courier Company here in Burkina-Faso as a family valuables that belong to his business associate. This money was annually paid to the deceased from Gold Exploring companies operating in their locality for the compensation of youth and community development in their jurisdiction, this fund was meant to send to Dubai for an investment project before the sudden death of his father.

He don't know how and what he will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad so that his father's kindred will not take over the fund which is his only hope as the kindred has took over other of his father's properties and shared without his present as the custom of the land demands, only the late father's brothers and sisters is permitted to take over every properties of his late father without considering the young man as the law of the land does not permit the son to inherit. Its only the young man know about this fund in the diplomatic courier company here and no one-else know about the fund because his late father told him about the fund before his death.

Now, I urgently need your humble assistance to receive this fund on behalf of this young man and help him to invest the fund wisely in your country, he said that if you can sincerely help him to receive this fund through diplomatic courier that he is ready to give you 30% of the fund and I strongly believe that you will never betray him. The young man would contact you himself but he doesn't speak or write English language very well, he can speak a little, he speak French because our language is French, his name is Manuel Bayyoud Kent, he is 32 years old. I will tell him to scan his ID or passport copy and send to me so that I will forward it to you.
