"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!

Subject: Expenditure Offer

Attn: President / Ceo

I have sent you this message because of the need to open discussions with
you. I don't want you to misunderstand this offer in any aspect, if it is
okay with you I ask for your full co-operation. I am Andrey Zhadovskiy, the
Franchise Owner of Kogalymneftgaz, a Russian oil company. Due to ill Health
I have been Esophageal Cancer, it has defiled all forms of medical treatment
and according to the medical experts it is a terminal illness so I do not
know how much longer I have to live. I never had any real friends in my
lifetime because I never really cared for anyone but my business. But now I
knew that there is more to live than making all the money in the world.

Recently I received a bulk payment from Azerbaijan Ministry for my Last
contract there. I instructed them specifically not to send the Funds to
Russia, but that the funds should be deposited with a Finance and Security
company in Indonesia on hold. A huge cash deposit of US$27,000,000.00
(Twenty- Seven Million Dollars only) was domiciled with the Finance/Security
Company overseas to my knowledge only. This is the last of my assets, now
that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore; I
therefore need you as a partner because you are a neutral party to help me
collect these funds deposited with the security company and disburse it
secretly based on my instructions.

Because my time is short I have decided to give most of this money to
Charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do
on earth. For all your good efforts you will receive 30% of the Funds and
disburse the rest based on my instructions. I want you to understand my
seriousness in this case and if you can handle this transaction, kindly
contact me via this email: zhadovskiya@gmail.com I have all the necessary
documents on hand,

Please contact me ASAP so we can discuss more.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

Best Regards,

Andrey Zhadovskiy
