"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!

saw your e-mail contact at ministries of commerce and foreign trade
departments Algerian. I am writing this mail to you with heavy sorrow
in my heart,

President of Libya.And I am contacting you because i donâ€™t have any
other option than to tell you as i was touched to open up to you, I am
married to Ahmed al-Gaddafi al-Qahsi, an army colonel with whom I had
three children. Qahsi was killed, along with two of my children, in
bombing raids.

Since the death of my father i have decided to make peace and leave
happily, when my late father was alive he deposited the sum of
us$550,000,000.00(Five Hundred And Fifty Million United States
Dollars)in a Financial Institution in one of the African Countries in
my name and presently this money is still in the Financial
Institution.He deposited the money for me because of his love for me
as his only Daughter.

But after the whole problem that led to my Father's death and by the
Grace of God i survived as a result i decided to use the money to help
the poorthe aged, the motherless and the helpless.I have lost all my
Family and cannot contact any of them and that is why i know i am
living for God. I contacted you because i want to hand over the money
to you and advice you the way you will spend it.You must make sure you
secure it and share accordingly.

You will take 20% of the money for yourself and your Family, you will
look for any International motherless babies home and donate 20%, same
you will do for the age people, the poor and the helpless. If you do
that even if i die my soul will rest in peace.

I will give you the contact, Documents and the details that will
enable you secure the money from the Financial Intuition as soon as i
receive your response.

I shall wait for your kind response.

Your Sincerely

Ayesha Gaddafi.
