"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!

Sequence, to the above our bank has been waiting for any extended relations to come forth for the claim but nobody has done that since 2010. I personally have been unsuccessful in locating any relatives, which the Board of Directors is planning to share this fund among them for selfish gain. After hearing it, I decided because a good heart should use this fund to help the less poor ones and motherless homes around. Therefore, I seek your consent as my foreign partner in this help transaction to present you as sole next of Kin/Beneficiary to the deceased fund. So, that the amount mentioned above will be transferred to your account, it is 100% risk free because legal documents would be secured. The fund we be shared 50/50, I want to use my share for the purpose said earlier to help Orphanages/Motherless homes, what about you?
