"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: It took me time to make up my mind to contact you


Assalamualaikum!!!,



































































































It took me time to make up my mind to
contact you and to offer you this proposal of mine of which my whole
life depends on.My name is Miss Nadia Khalid, the daughter of Mr. Abdul
Khalid of blessed memory from Libya. During the current crises against
the protesters in Libya from the supporters of President Muammar 
Gaddafi to kill all the rich families protesting against him and to make
the rest surrender and to be turned to slaves.My father is one of the
most successful multi-millionaire businessmen in our country and because
he did not support Gaddafi's ideas, Gaddafi's supporters invaded our
home and killed my parents and burnt everything in our house. I was
lucky to escape the terror that night, because I was in my friend’s
house during the time they came.



































































































Before my father's death, he was
planning to set up a multi million investment in Malaysia, because he
has been following the progress on Malaysian economy closely, he and his
close friend has met with  Malaysia authorities over the issue and
daddy has started the process before his untimely death, I can clearly
remember one night daddy was telling my Mom how he has successfully move
the sum of twenty one million united state dollar  ($21,000,000,00) 
through a secret agent to a secret Financial security company in
Malaysia and UK which he said he use the means to avoid tax in Malaysia.



































































































After the death of my father, I decided
to move to TUNISIA under political asylum. Now I am seeking for your
assistance to help me retrieve the fund from the company to avoid my
father’s partner and best friend from claiming the fund, I have try many
times to call him to give me account of all the joint business he
co-owned with my daddy and all he always said to me is ???? ????? ?????
??????? ?? ????   (Go and ask your foolish father in grave) I was able
to get the certificate of proof of fund from my father’s office and the
good thing is my daddy’s name was the only name on it, but I still need
to ask fast, because he is now working with my daddy’s attorney and they
can do unbelievable things.



































































































Note that I have contacted the company;
but their little requirement is beyond my capability, so that is the
reason why I contact you to help me get this fund out of the company, i
don’t want to depend on any Organization but need an Individual like you
to assist me and be my partner for a business Investment to give me a
great future and all I want is your honest assistance.



































































































I will discuss further when I receive
your mail and I will be ready to give you part of the fund and can also
invest the fund in your company.



































































































Please in return of this mail, send me the listed information’s.
