"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!

Subject: Hello Beloved,

Hello Beloved,

I am Rev. Sister Caroline Mitchelle a Missionary in St. Peters Catholic
Church London
England but I am a Citizen of America from California USA.I am very sick
now.
I deposited the Sum of 6M USD in a Bank in South Africa when I was there
working
as a missionary, but my Doctor here in the Hospital told me that I will not
survive
this Sickness that I have only two weeks more to live.
So I want you to help me stand as my next of kin to enable the Bank
transfer this 6M USD to you.Note that you will take 50% of this 6M USD and
give the remaining 50% to any Charity Home around you because that was
the vow I made to my God Almighty before I became a Missionary.
I want you to get back to me immediately if you are interested to stand as
my
Next of Kin, so that I can introduce you to my Doctor/Lawyer and direct you
on how to
proceed before I pass away in this world because I have only two weeks to
live
according to my Doctor.

Best Regards,

Rev. Sister Caroline Mitchelle.
St. Peters Catholic Church 136 Clergywomen Road,
