"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!

the sum of $9.5 million USD deposited in a dormant bank account awaiting to
assign a beneficiary name before it would be transferred.

The original depositor died together with his wife and only daughter in an
accident along the express road that leads to the Northern part of the country
on the 20th of June,2009.And since then,nobody has come forward for the claim
because nobody is aware of the deposit,only him and his wife.

Please, I would like you to contact me with your full details as listed below ;

names..................................................................................

address.................................................

Please,above requested personal information is very necessary for me to have
confidence in you,so that both of us can move this fund into a very safe place
without any problem. I hope to hear from you so that I will give you more
details regarding this transfer.
Yours truly,
