"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!

Dearest In Christ,

Compliments, It?s with Heavy Heart I am reaching you regarding the death of
my late client .I I am BARRISTER mike ade,the legal adviser to late Mr. and
Mrs. Bright Williams,a British couple that lived in my Country Nigeria for
25 years before both died in a plane crash last year. These couple were good
Christians, they were so dedicated to God but they had no child till they
died. Throughout their stay in my country, they acquired a lot of properties
like lands, house properties, etc. As their legal adviser, all the documents
for the assets that are deposited with the security company are in my care.
He gave me the authority to give out the funds to the Ministries for the
work of God. As instructed by Mr. Bright Williams before his death. As a
matter of fact the total amount of money that is contained in the trunk Box
is $,7,000,000.00 (seven million US dollars) I did not want the management
of the Security Company to know the content of the consignments, and
therefore I registered the content of the consignments as Gold Bars. Now,
the security company believes that what I deposited with them were Gold
Bar.note that the 40% total sum of the fund will be given to me immediatly
After my fasting and prayers Today, I asked God to make his choice and
direct me to an honest Christian or the chosen ministry that deserves this
fund by his Grace. I then came across your address on the Internet as I was
browsing. I appeal to you for the fund to be used wisely for things that
will glorify the name of God. I have just notified the Security Company
where I deposited the consignments that contained the fund, that I am moving
the consignment abroad, and the security company is awaiting my authority to
move the consignment out of the shores of their custody.

Dear child of Zion, if you know that you will use this fund honestly and
wisely for things that will glorify God's name, then do contact me with all
this information immediately. Your full name, Physical address, private
telephone and fax numbers respectively. Note: that 40% of thge total money
would be my own immediately you have received the consignment and comfirm
the fund
Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Yours in Christ,
