"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!

James1:12-15
Blessed is the man that endoureth temptation, for when he is tried he
shall recieve the crown of life with the lord hath promise to them
that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted I am tempted of God
for God can not be tempted with evil, niether tempteth He any man. But
every man is tempted when He is drawn of his own lust and enticed,
then when lust hath concieved it bringeth forth sin and sin when it is
finished bringeth forth death.
