"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!

I am Somia Toure the only duaghter of late Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Toure My father was a very wealthy cocoa and gold merchant in Abidjan , the economic capital of Ivory Coast , before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discus on a business deal. When my mother died on the 31st October 2005,

My father took me special because I am Motherless. Before the death of my father on 13th may, 2007 in a private hospital here in Abidjan . He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he deposited the sum of $15.5M (Fifteen Million , five hundred thousand United States dollars) left in a suspense account in one of the famouse bank here in ABIDJAN capital of Cote d'Ivoire for safe keeping.

That he used my name as his only duaghter for the next of kin in deposit of the fund. My Father also explained to me that it was because of this wealth and some huge amount of money his business associates supposed to balance him from the deal they had, that was why he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate management).I do not wish to go into investment with citizen of this country Cote DIvoire due to the political crisis here,

1) To provide a Bank account where this money would be transferred to.
2) To serve as the guardian of this since I am 20 years.

Moreover, I am willing to offer you 20% of the sum as compensation for effort in put after the successful transfer of this fund to your designate account overseas.If you are interested on this deal also available to be my guardian kindly get back to me.
