"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 Miss Dupont Liliane Fleurie


I am Miss Dupont Liliane Fleurie  a franco-Ivoire and  Adopted Child of the late Mr.Dupont N'Guessan, Who was a former Minister of Petrol in Cote'D Ivoire and recently an Oil Tycoon in Libya and Saudi Arabia. Al Furat Petroleum Company (AFPC) the leader in the region in Reservoir Management. AFPC which established under Service Contract no. 210 ratified by Law no. 43 of 1977 and named as per decree-law no. 12 in 1985. AFPC is a joint venture company between the General Petroleum Corporation (50%) and private shareholders Exxon Mobil Petroleum Development (EMPD) based Kurdistan Region of Iraq before his sudden death.

Before the sudden death of my father in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me at his bed side, when I sat down to listen to him, he started crying and complained that the world is too wicked because of what is passing through and he also revealed this to me that he has a sum of $120M U.S.D deposited in Bank office in Brussels for Oil Field investment in Prudhoe Bay Oil Field on Alaska's North Slope,

He also explained to me that it was because of his wealth that he is suffering of the poison he recieved from his business associate suspecting to be my uncles that desperate to inherit his inheritance after  years of his suffering. That l should seek for your assistance as god fearing foreign partner in a foreign country where l will transfer this money and  use it for proper  investment purpose.

Although i have write the bank and See the last message i received from the bank In Belgium,You has to visit the Europian Union headquarters there in Brussels to apply for a tax deduction application form (TDAF).

You will also visit the notary public for the notarization of his passport for onward presentation to the bank officials during the meeting inside the Bank office with the bank brokers with any stipulated amount they may ask you as bill which you must pay in cash during the meeting.

Thanks
Yours Lovely
Miss Dupont Liliane Fleurie
