"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!

Have a good day!

It is with a deep sense of need that I am compelled to contact you.

Following the aftermath of December 17th 2013 conflict in my town of Jonglei state, south Sudan, my uncle (Mr. Hussein Maar Nyuot) the then acting governor of Jonglei State handed us (I and my two siblings) to Rev. Fr. Philips Polson, a missionary attachÃ© with a humanitarian organization named, (GoodWill Foundation Outreach) who was at Sudan for humanitarian reason as a result of the ongoing conflict. The next few days saw us through a journey that ended where I am writing from, Accra the capital city of Ghana in the West African region.

After arrival the past three months plus, we have been under the refuge of this organization, who has given us accommodation and been making all effort to settle us into the community.

Within the sixth week of arrival, Rev. Fr. Polson invited me for a chat in his office and there he handed some documents over to me on which examining them, there contained some filled and signed documents and agreement for the safe keeping of valuables with a company at Europe, I have since then through the assistance of the Rev. Fr. Polson, made contact with my father's attorney at Amsterdam who oversee the agreement and it has been disclosed to me that my father, Mr. Khaled Nyuot deposited in a security vault the sum of Three million, seven hundred and Fifty thousand Euros which he gave conditions before we could claim. Based on the conditions, I am making contact with you as a reliable person who will be committed to channel this money towards a profitable investment to enable I and my two siblings the best education in whichever part of the world and guarantee us the achievement of our respective goals towards a good life.

My name is Akifa Khaled Nyuot, 19years of age.
Write back to me for further details if you know and believe that you understand the predicament we have gone through and with a good intention for our well-being and future.

Sincerely,
Ms. Akifa Khaled Nyuot
