"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!

Â
I greet you
in the name of Allah most gracious most merciful

I am Mrs Aisha Abdul Quddus from Malaysia, I am a widow my husband was brutally
killed by foreign western agents. I have been suffering from long time illness
precisely Cancer which aggravated to a partial stroke, i am dying soon
according to my doctors and not with a child. I have some funds I inherited
from my late husband, the sum of $5 Million (Five Million U.S. Dollars). Having
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Muslim organization
brother or sister confidentially that will utilize this money for the work of
Allah, for the protection and assistance of the Muslim community against its
adversaries.

I need a very honest and true Muslim organization, brother or sister who has
had the cry of his people from as far as Palestine, Syria, Iran, Libya, Iraq
and Afghanistan and wildly around the world. I took this decision because I
donâ€™t have any child that will inherit this money
This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know
where I am going. I know that I am going to be with Allah at the end.â€¦.Allahu
Akbar

Your sister
in Islam
Mrs Aisha
Abdul Quddus
