"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!

HI Dear.

I am contacting you to let you know my desire to establish a charity foundation through you in your country with sum of 6,500.000.00 Euros.

I want this money to be used for motherless baby's home ,mosques ,churches, Schools, supporting destitute aged men and women or whatever you may have in mind that will be to the benefit of the less fortunate once.

I took this decision because I was raised from a motherless baby's home in my country Philippines before married to a France man who nationalized in Cote D` Ivoire and Presently, I'm hospitalized here in (Polyclinique Internationale Sainte Anne-Marie) where I am undergoing treatment for my upcoming blood cancer surgery operation .

I took this decision because my late husband a France/Ivoirian nationality died 10 years ago with our only daughter in a plan crash and at 76years.

Please reply as soon as possible, confirming your acceptance to this proposition so that I will give you all the relevant information that will authorize the release and transfer of the fund to you as my duly assigned representative.

God bless you ,I look forward hearing from you shortly.

Regards,
MRS.Kerry Iva Camille
