"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!

Dear Bucher,
 
I am sorry for asking many questions. The business we are going into needs enough introduction, reliability, confidence and trust for each other.
You seem not to understand my problem very well. I am a little child of 18 years old. My parents died in December 25th, 2003. When my parents died, i discovered 15 million British pounds sterlings in ecobank Ghana Limited they deposited for a hotel development in Accra Ghana.
There death was unfortunate, therefore, they did not leave any will for me. My parents relatives were busy taking away everything my parents laboured for. Houses, cars etc. The only money i personally discovered is the fund with ecobank ghana.
The bank said i must get a business experienced person who will take care of the claims to enable them release the fund to the person whom i trust. I want to trust you and link you up with the bank to receive the fund.
When the fund 15 million pounds is released to you, you can help me get a university admission from the fund. With the university admission, i can easily get a visa to come and join you in Bern.
We shall use the fund for investmenets or business you like.
I am now in Ghana. But my country is Cape Verde Island.
Sharon

Dear Bucher,
 
Thanks for writing once again. I think we can achieve the purpose of my contacting you recently. We can work together. Since you are a woman, i will find it more comfortable to work with you. I have attached my two pictures for you for identifications of whom is contacting you. You will stand as my late parents business associates to work with the bank (ECOBANK) to claim the fund left in the bank by my late parents. When the fund is transferred to you, you can help me secure a university admission and through that, i can easily get a visa to join you.
However, i will like to know little or more about you to enable me identify you or present you properly to the bank as my late parents business associate. The bank will in no doubt release the fund to you upon your applications as my late father's business associate. Please, what is your occupation? How old are you? Do you kids? How about your husband?
I will like to read from you soon to enable me present you to the bank as my late father's business associate and the fund will be transferred to you.
Thanks.
Sharon

I have a new email address!
You can now email me at: rrbelshe@yahoo..com



- I am a young lady of 18 years old and a refugee in Ghana under the United Nations refugees Ghana. My country of Origin is Cape Verde Island. My parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lomogan died on plane crash in December 23rd, 2003 in Cotonou, Benin Republic on there way to Lebanon.(www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash). I write you to seek refugee in your country and to further my education. I am a secondary school graduate and wishes to complete my education to Master's degree level. When my parents died in December 2003, i was the only child and 13 years old then. My parents were oil consultants and owned two oil blocks in Sudan.Two years after my parents died, my relatives forced me into marriage .Against my wish i married a 36 years old man. My relatives said the man will give me protection as tradition demands in my country. I never knew the marriage i went into until my first pregnancy at 16 years old. The man soled my father's two
companies, three houses and misused the funds he got from them. When i complained, he locked me up in a room and beat me up. The beatings continued until i lost my pregnancy. None of my relatives said anything positive to help me. I was fast losing my life until the police arrested him for for drug offenses. When he was in police net,i ran back to my father's house. But my relatives insisted i continue the marriage. I refused to stay back and listen to them. I went to my father's home save box for my school papers, International passport, and birth certificate. It was also i n the boxes that i saw papers of my father's bank deposits in Ghana valued at 15,Million British Pounds and six Gold Boxes weighing 390 kilograms each with 24 karate quality. The fund was for a proposed hotel project in Ghana before my father died. We can work with the fund through getting a university admission for me. with the University admission, i can get a visa easily and come
to your country. The most important thing is my education. We can invest the fund in a hotel project. I wait for your urgent reply. only one person who is business minded reply is needed. Thanks. SHARON
