"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!

Greetings,

I am Mahasin Gaddafi . I have been a slave and brutally abused in my husband's house ever since i married him and i have been looking for a way out of the marriage. If i do when Col Muammar Gaddafi is was alive he will kill me and my entire children . I am very happy that the people of Libya seek for a better Libya by protesting against Col Muammar Gaddafi which i am in full support of the protest but can't declare my support to avoid Muammar Gaddafi to kill me.

Now that we have revolted in Libya and he is dead , this is the best opportunity for me to run out of the hell marriage i got involved and live a better and free life. I succeeded in moving out $95.5 Million from my husband's underground safe which he accumulated from crude oil proceed and the fund was move to a bank fiduciary vault escrow in Europe London, this is hgihly confidential details ; due to UN, USA, EUROPEAN COMMITTEE sanction on Muammar Gaddafi and his family it is not wise for me to use my name as the depositor of the fund, so i decided to look for someone else not related to me or loyal to Muammar Gaddafi as the depositor of the fund, that is why i am soliciting for your partnership to complete this transaction.

I am willing to give you 30% of the sum for securing the fund. I will meet you where ever you want me to meet you as soon as you receive the fund . I'll start a new happy life. . This transaction is 100% safe on your side. I need HELP to get out of this families so that i can have a new happy live again.

If you are interested do get back to me for further information. I wait to hear from you on this my private Mail boxe.

Sincerely
Mahasin Gaddafi
