"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 Mrs. Rose Morgan. From Republic of Kuwait I am married to Mr. David Morgan. Who worked with Republic of Kuwait embassy here in Ivory Coast before he was murdered on 27-04-2007?

We were married for many years without a child. After he was murdered I decided to become a Christian and was baptized, because my private investigation implicated his own people to his murder, I also decided not to remarry because of my illness
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $(3.5 Million) USD five million five hundred thousand U .S. Dollars in a Finance Security Company here in Abidjan.Recently,my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem and the political crises in this country now, which I believe you must be aware as it has been in the world news for months now.

Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a God fearing person that will utilize this money the way I am g oing to instruct herein. I want an individual that is God fearing that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to Endeavour that it goes to the most in need..

I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. My nurse maid who has been helping me all these time at the hospital, Miss Carol Ibe will be the only individual benefactor to this money as I will like you to send to her the sum of hundred thousand dollars only. ($100.000.00) when this money is transferred to you. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and confidential purpose. I cannot give her this money from here because of the nature of the deposit by my late husband.

With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the relevant documents that will authorize you to have access over this fund. I will also issue you an affidavit that will prove you the present be neficiary of this fund in the Finance Security Company.

Upon the receipt of your response assuring me that you will handle this as I have instructed herein I will give you more details.
