"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!

in the web sites below: http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2003-07-15-liberia_x.htm


And all his properties was totally destroyed. However, after his death I managed to escape with a very important document DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE of (US$18.5m)Eighteen million Five hundred thousand U.S Dollars deposited by my late father in a SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY, which i am the next of kin.
Meanwhile,i am saddled with the problem of securing a trust worthy foriegn personality to help me retrieve the money over to his country and into his possession pending my arrival to meet with him.


Furthermore,you can contact the security company for confirmation and i will issue a letter of AUTHORISATION on your name,that will enable the security company release the DEPOSIT to you on my behalf. Conclusively,i wish you send me a reply immediately as soon as you recieve this proposal. You
