"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: From Grace Guller.

Dear Friend.
I hope this e-mail reaches you early enough and that you have the willing spirit to execute this job without any selfish interest. My name is Mrs. Grace Guller, I am from Melbourne, Australia. 63 years old, I have been diagnosed of cancer two years ago and as it stands I am a dying woman.

I have been touched by God to make some donations to assist the helpless children, motherless and the less privileged from what God has blessed me with. I cannot do this on my own because of my present health condition and the relatives around me are so greedy that they do not have any plans of carrying out my will as they believe I am being stupid. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls due to the fact that my relatives that have squandered the funds I gave them for this purpose before are around me and because I still want to achieve this, I am contacting you to be the sole distributor of these £4.7million GBP.

Please confirm that you are ready to carry out this obligation and I will give you the information of the Independent Safe Deposit and Security Company London, United Kingdom where the funds are deposited in a Security Deposit Box registered in the name of my Late Husband (Thomas Guller) to which I am the bonafide next of kin and have discussed with my late husband’s lawyer in London to make out document to give you the legal stand to make your claims on the Security Deposit Box. Please reply to me very urgently, I have an operation by Monday and I need to give you all the information that you may need before going in. please all I need from you is prayers and honesty.

Thanks
Mrs. Grace Guller
