"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 ms Adelaida Candelas, married to late Abelto Candelas a Spanish man who was one of the 191 dead's recorded during a train bomb blast in Madrid- Spain on the 11th of March 2004. I lost my dear husband when he was going for his medical check up at the Clinica La Luz in Madrid .Please copy and paste this Internet link for more information on the incident
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4340881.stm

Our lives together as husband and wife lasted for three decades without any issue. My late husband and I, made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged. I can attribute this to the fact that, we wanted to obey God in the domain of Philanthropy and we needed a Child from this relationship,which never came.

When my late husband was alive, he made a safe deposit of Three Million Great British Pounds which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with an Investment Management company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the Cervical cancer I am suffering from. I have been placed on bed in my home to enable me recover from loss of energy and inability to speak.

Being aware of the bad nature of my relatives and the misused of his previous investment and ventures. I have decided to donate this fund to you to use this gift which comes from my husband's efforts to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially in your community.

I have decided to put smile on the face of the less privileged. Here is my private email: adelaidacandelas@gmail.com where you can reach me .
