"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!

This is very confidential request from a widow; you should not take it as
surprising thing because I got your Contact from Democratic Republic of
Congo chamber of commerce and industry here in Congo.

I am Mrs. Manya Sasi Kabila, the third wife of late President Laurent Kabila

deposited U.S$ 32.7 Million (Thirty two million seven hundred thousand
United States dollars) in South African Security Company in South Africa as
of November of 2000.

As the most loving wife, he called my attention to that secret issue
concerning this fund, and I am the third Wife of the late president. My
intention of contacting you is to help me to transfer this money in your
company’s/personal account in your country so as to erase suspicion for the
fund as my husband’s son is still in power in Democratic Republic of Congo.

For you to get more details about this transaction, please take this phone
number above and call, Mr ADAMS KABILA or you can send him a fax; I sent
him to South Africa since my husband died, to go and monitor the fund.

Please, if you are interested to help me, 5%will be set aside for the
expenses incurred during this transaction, 20% is for you, and 75% is for me
and you will help me to invest and establish it in your country. I will be
very grateful if my request from you will be favourably considered without
any delay. I am stopping here till I hear from you. Please, treat this
matter with utmost urgency.

Yours Sincerely,

Manya Sasi Kabila.
