"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!

Hello,
My mother requests your assistance. I will appreciate if you are ready to assist the family of Estrada to realize
our funds outside Philippines. Please, I would requireyou rsincere and genuine assurance of honesty in the course
of this transaction. This is because When I think of myimmediate past, the hostility of our people against my
parents, the imprisonment of my father and the eventualdisplacement of my family, all of these coupled with
activities of the present Government of Gloria Arroyo, toensure that the once treasured family of Estrada is
ridiculeand subjected to abject poverty and misery, the more I amcourteous of whom we can trust with this transaction.



I would not know why the present government is notrelenting in its desire to bring our family down just for
the singular fact that we share different politicalideologies. My mother is restricted to a house arrest and
my only saving grace is because of my dual nationality. Iwas born in Britain. It is as a result of the above
situation that I am very careful in anything I do. I amalso very mindful and careful with this
transaction, as it remains our only hope to live a good life again when actualized.

What I require from you presently is to send to me yourcontact particulars including your telephone fax and cell
numbers. This will enable me communicate with you ontelephone so as to maintain absolute confidentiality in
the course of this transaction and also a proof of youridentification which would serve as a guarantee that the
funds will be safe in your custody. Also you will need to send me a letter declarinConfidentiality & Non Disclosure
of our dealings, thereafter I can ask my Attorney tocommence documentation passing beneficiary of the funds to

enable you secure the funds. As you may know,the amountinvolve in this transaction is enormous and as such, we
needto build trust and confidence in ourselves to realize the process.

You will be required to travel to London and meet with the officials of the holdings, to receive the funds from the
Security Company with the document and pass code, which I will give to you. It will also be Your responsibility to
transfer the funds to your nominated bank account in your country pending when I am able to sort myself out
here to regain my freedom so that I can come to meet with you for my share of the funds
I have resolved with my mother to compensate you with 25%of $18,000,000.00 (Eighteen million united state of American
dollars) the total funds for your assistance. Please, be further informed that presently I do not deem it fit for
us to communicate via public telecommunication system that is public telephone as authorities from my country
can tapped into our telephone discussion. But you can reach me on this email address judeestrad011@yahoo.co.uk

I want to thank you once more and I am praying to GodAlmighty to bless you. I know that you might also wonder why
I want to realize this transaction with a complete stranger, sort like how I got your emailaddress, thereason for this is because,
our fellow countrymen herehave all fail the Estrada family, you cannot imagine that 90% of the
witnesses that testified against my father were his close aides as the Vice-President and President respectively.
One thing I need you to understand is that the life jail term passed on my father is a mark of political terrorism
on the part of the government of Gloria Arroyo because she fears political opposition. You can as well read this site
