"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: Join Greetings. From Mrs. Monica Edmond on LiveVideo!

Greetings. From Mrs. Monica Edmond wants to chat with you using the new LiveVideo.com. Click on Accept Invitation to start chatting!




Greetings. From Mrs. Monica Edmond has also sent you a personal message:

Chisinau, Republic of Moldova

Please forgive me if this message comes to you as a surprise I was divinely inspired to pick your name among other names found in the internet database, after series of prayers and god's direction.

I am Mrs. Monica Edmond a citizen of republican of Moldova . I was a farmer by profession. But currently undergoing medical treatment.

I was married to Dr.richard Edmond who was a successful business man. We went on vacation to India when he had a heart attack and we came back home. My husband later died of that attack and a sickness know as haemorrhage often brain due to shock. We have been married for eleven years without a child.

However, before we went on this vacation, my late husband has a lot of business in Europe, America and Africa before h e died, he deposited a trunk box in a diplomatic security company, here in Abidjan capital city of cote D'ivoire) right now, and it contain the sum of (8.5)million dollars in hundred dollar bills. Last week, my doctor told me that I would not live for the next five months due to my ailing health which sparked off as a result of the death of my husband.



Though what disturbs me most is my disability to move around due to a partial paralysis. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or a mosque or better still a Christian or a Moslem individual that will utilize this money for charity, orphanages.

Also for a charity organization I am in contact with in Africa . I have also decided to give 30% for your help. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be miss-used.



I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision.

I am not afraid of death because I know that I am going to die one day. What I need from you is that you contact the security company, and let them know you are the beneficiary of the consignment and would like to claim it from them.

I will give you all that you will need to open correspondence with them. if you are worthy enough to make yourself available in this project, let me know immediately you read my mail. God will surely provide you the power and strength to accomplish this project.


If you are sincere and know you will do as I said get back to me with your

4 Your cell phone number..................
5 Your fax number.........................
6 Your country............................
