"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!

Amados en Cristo,

Buen dÃa para usted.

Mi nombre es Marie Brigitte Prouvost. 27 de marzo de 1944, soy un ciudadano francÃ©s. Cada dÃa que pasa, me siento muy mal y no tengo mÃ¡s miedo lo suficiente en mÃ debido a mi cÃ¡ncer estÃ¡ muy avanzado.

DecidÃ hacer un fondo DON de una suma de (15.000.000.00 â‚¬), que no es otra cosa que el resto de mi propiedad y me gustarÃa donarlos a usted para que me ayude a distribuirlo a las personas pobres de todo el mundo ya que no tengo ningÃºn hijo propio que heredarÃ¡ el dinero cuando yo muera.

Le ruego que acepte esta cantidad, ya que asÃ podrÃ¡ usted es muy Ãºtil.

No pido nada a cambio.

Dios te bendiga,

Atentamente,

Prouvost Marie Brigitte.

LA BENDICIÃ“N DE ESTAR CON USTED.

Bien-aimÃ©s dans le Christ,

Bonne journÃ©e Ã vous.

Mon nom est Marie Brigitte Prouvost. NÃ© en Mars 27, 1944, je suis un citoyen franÃ§ais. Chaque jour qui passe, je me sens trÃ¨s mal et j'ai peur plus assez de moi Ã cause de mon cancer est trÃ¨s avancÃ©.

J'ai dÃ©cidÃ© de vous faire un fond DON d'une somme d'(15.000.000.00 â‚¬) qui n'est autre chose que le reste de mes biens, et je voudrais en faire don Ã vous afin que vous puissiez m'aider Ã le distribuer aux pauvres dans le monde depuis que je n'ai pas mon propre enfant qui hÃ©ritera de cet argent quand je mourrai.

Je vous prie d'accepter cette somme car elle pourrait bien vous Ãªtes trÃ¨s utile.

Je ne demande rien en retour.

Que Dieu vous bÃ©nisse,

Cordialement,

Prouvost Marie Brigitte.

LA BENEDICTION SOIT AVEC VOUS.
