"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!

Subject: URGENT RESPOND

Dear Friend.

Good day and Compliments, I am writing this letter in confidence
believing
that if it is the wish of
God for you to help me and my family, God Almighty will bless and
reward you
abundantly and you would never regret this.

I am contacting you with the following investment proposal for your
kind
assistance. My name is
Princess JAMIRO HAMED, and I am a female student of University Burkina
Faso,
Ouaga. I am 24 yrs old. I'd like any person who is caring, loving and
home
oriented. I will love to have a long-term
relationship with you and to know more about you. My father was a king
before his death, which the citizens of my community crowned him over
ten
years before his death.

my late father was the king of Bobo Land In BURKINA-FASO, whose lands
are
being used for Gold
exploration and Oil drilling by some Gold companies.

I am a princess to him as his daughter and I am the only person who
can
take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is still young
and my
mother is not literate enough to handle my fathers business empire.

He left the sum of USD 15.5 million dollars
in a security company here in Burkina Faso. This money was
annually paid into my late fathers account from the companies that are
into
Gold exploration and oil drilling who are operating
in our locality for the compensation of youth and community development
and
royalties which are due to him as the paramount King of the community
in our
jurisdiction.

I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere
abroad,
so that my father's kindred will not take over completely what belongs
to my
father and our family, which they were planning to do without my
consent
because due to his sudden death he did not write down his WILL. This
made it
difficult for us the members of the family to lay claims on anything
that is
publicly know by the community apart from this money that is hidden in
the
security company since I am a female as stated by our tradition in the
town. Now.

I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the
Security
Company where the money was deposited to your bank account that is why
I
felt happy when I saw your contact because I strongly believe that by
the
grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely. I am ready to
pay
30% of the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and
another 10% interest of Annual Income to you, for handling this
transaction
for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over it.

If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me
in
lifting this fund, kindly
reach me, through this email address: jamirohamed@hotmail.com,
Please,
note that this transaction is 100% risk free and I hope to commence the
transaction as quickly as possible,

I will send you my picture as soon as I hear from you for recognition.

Yours sincerely,
Princess JAMIRO HAMED (Ms.
