"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!

My name is Judith , 25-yr old daugther of David Hillo

N’Goran.


Sometime back the community leader and

leading diamond merchant in the town of Bin Houye a

diamond rich town in cote d’ voure 37 km from the

Liberian border,with the help of Liberian government

seized the town ,burning houses and other properties

setting of whole families on fire.


according to Router’s radio network monitored the

loyalist have killed entire families and they are

burning all the houses in Bin Houye .


Sinc that time till now, we have not set eyes on my father.

Right now I live in with my mother in a shack in BININ COTONUE, dispossessed, distraught and wallowing in an abject poverty as we excapt from the town with noting, but as God will have it, we ran into a good man here in COTONUE who took it upone himself taking care of us, which he is still the access l have to the net to comunicate you.

Although I did not in any way disclose to anybody even him the details of this proposal due to confidential nature of it.


Meanwhile in the key days of our family business my

father trading company jemina investment had over time

deposited the sum of fifty-six million united state

dollars(56 M USD)in a private security trust firm in

Ghana.


The keys of the boxes are with my mother, including the deposite documment to effect the movement of the boxes from the company.

What we seek and seek desperately is a trusted foreigner who is completely unconnected to all these carnage happenings in Africa, who can be empowered and entrusted with the responsibility of moving these


funds to safety for some investment in your country.

Later when we secure the box from Ghana with you,l

and my mother can then rely upon you to make travel

arrangements to join you in your country.

This transaction requires absolute honesty.

Call us on this telephone for more clarifications and

proper aggreement.
