"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!

are reliable to executethis transaction with me, then I will
instruct you on how
to claim as the next of kin to the late Mr.
Morris thompson,so that the funds could be transfer to your
overseas A/C, if only you can co-operate with me and not to
betray me at the end.

operation I will give you the guide lines on how you can
transact with the bank for the approval of the funds toyour A/C.As
soon as everything as been put in place for the transfer I will
apply for an annual leave to obtain a visa to travel to your country
for my share of the
funds and the sharing ofthe funds is 55% for
me, 40% for you and the remaining 5% will be for expenses incurred
during the transaction. As soon as the transaction is over I will
secretly destroy all documents that will lead to the trace of
