"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!

the only son to my family I am 27 years old boy, my late father MR. JOHNSON
SALIFU MOZEMBE is a DEFENS MINISTER OF DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO and also
a businessman in other fields.
During the war rebels killed my father in his office in CONGO. When my
father was alive he indicated to my mother of his deposited dollars of
US$15.000 M DOLLERS with GHANA TRIDENT SECURITY COMPANY LIMITED, this money
is in large metal 2 trunk boxes as a treasure of the family. Since the death

problems. Because of my Mum sickness I have been running up and down to
recover her life, recently I got information that there’s a Hospital in
Accra Ghana call KOLEBU GENARAL HOSPITAL that will save my mums life, I
decided to travel with my Mother to ACCRA GHANA.
Recently my mums doctor called as her son and told me that I have to find
alternative to fly my mum to Abroad were she can take proper treatment. Been

can help us to retrieve the fund my late father deposited in TRIDENT
SECURITY COMPANY GHANA LIMITED as a family treasure since we are in GHANA,
the fund is in 2 big metal trunk boxes, the total amount inside the boxes is
US$15.M DOLLARS. My mum and I have decided to donate 10% of the total fund
to a charity homes Motherless homes Orphanages, and widows, then 20% for you
and your family 10% for any expenses you may come across, then the remaining
60% is what my mum and I will invest with you in your country as a
partnership.
My mum and I took this decision because I don’t have any broth or sister
that will also inherit this fund. My late fathers relatives are into radical
Organization and I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in
an unholy manner. Hence the reasons for this bold decision, please pray for
my mother to recover, as your prayers will go a long way in uplifting her
spirit.

consignment boxes will be withdraw in your name. I am only waiting to have
your reply so that I will send you all the legal Documents my late father
