"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!

I am the CEO of SABEEN SEAFOOD LTD in Cambodia for 12 years before my problem. When the civil war arises in my country Syria, I sold my company in Cambodia and banked the funds in my Cambodia account before I travelled to Syria. That was how I and my family became victims of the war. Assad force strike our building in Aleppo that killed my husband and my two children with other neighbours. I was rushed to a hospital in Raqqa by the rescuers in severe injuries that paralyzed me. Everything was lost. Since last November My condition was hopeless to restore my life.

As Islamic militant in Syria fight to take over Raqqa where I am now, they started killing Christians and non-believers. The hospital I stay to received treatment was taking over by ISIS. They neglected us. Nobody to help me, as ISIS militant has created fear in my life. All the doctors have fled from the hospital. I can’t move from here anymore. I want you to take my funds in Cambodia for charity plans and humanitarian aid for Syrian and Iraqi refugees, motherless, less privileged, the widows and also in your country. The funds is $10,100.000.00. I will offer you 12% for your commitment if you are interested. I have a lawyer in Cambodia that will direct and arrange the release of the funds to you. From now I can't reply you again. This email was secretly sent to you. Contact my lawyer today with his email wuchengtian30@gmail.com, (+855 - 979 581 598). Thanks
