"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!

Draga unul meu

Sunt doamna Mayee Johnny, din Irlanda casatorit cu regretatul dr Johnny, care a murit în 2010. Am scrie sa se refere la tine de inten?ia mea de a folosi Fondul mea (4,5 milioane de dolari SUA) pentru munca de caritate în ?ara dumneavoastra.

Nu sunt în stare buna de sanatate, dar Dumnezeu este viu, în ciuda faptului ca doctorul meu a confirmat ca eu nu pot supravie?ui opera?iunea operatie care vor fi efectuate pe mine în curând. Nu vreau bancar / guvernul corupt pentru a avea banii mei daca eu nu fac reu?i opera?iunea; sanatatea mea este în mâna lui Dumnezeu.

Daca pute?i fi fidel ajuta ?i de a folosi fondul meu sa aiba grija de privilegiul saraci ?i mai pu?in în ?ara dumneavoastra,

Sunt de a?teptare pentru a citi de la tine pentru mai multe detalii cu privire la inten?ia mea de a ajuta pe cei saraci ?i nevoia?i în ?ara dumneavoastra.

Sora ta în Dumnezeu,
Doamna Mayee Johnny.
