"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!

First of all, let me introduce my humble self. My name is Muatasim Younis, the son of Abdul Fatah Younis Al-Obeidi late. Who served as a senior military officer in Libya. My late father held the rank of Major General and the post of minister of interior, but resigned on 22 February 2011 to defect to the rebel side in what was to become the Libyan Civil War. He was considered a key supporter of Muammar Gaddafi or even No. 2 in the Libyan government.
 
Secondly, it took me one full month of constant prayer and fasting for God's intervention in my decision making process on who to choose to sponsor and mange this fund and gold for me. This is because there are a lot of internet scams and heartless individual who could eliminate me just to posses my possession. But, hopefully, you are the right person for this job.
