"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: Dear Respectiful, Mane

Dear Respectiful,

I am obliged to confide in you with the hope that you will understand my plights and urgent need of your assistance and also the need to accord this communication the confidenciality it deserves.
My name is Miss Zeinab Mane, the only daughter of General Ausmane Mane, the former chief of defence staff who was killed on November allegedly for resisting arrest because of his role as rebel leader in the rebellion in Guinea Bissau. As a result of sequent persecution by the present government of Guinea Bissau, I left to Abidjan-Cote d'Ivoire, with the deposite certificate which was issued to my Father by the security company here in Abidjan Cote
d'Ivoire.
The deposite certificate contain the sum of US$ 13.6 million dollars, according to my late father he deposited the money in a trunk box but declared it as vital family belongings.I have visited the secuirty company but was told that the deposit agreement required the consent of the foreign partner on whose behalf the box was deposited before any application for the release of the box will be considered.
Therefore, I am contacting you to help me retrieve the box as the foreign partner to my late Father and the beneficiary. Afterwards, this money shall be transferred to your private account for investment purposes with you as the general overseer. As soon as I receive your return mail indicating your willingness to assist us in this business, we shall discuss what shall be your percentage fee for your assistance and the full detail.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3.What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?
I await your immediate response only

Yours Sinerely
Miss Zeinab Mane
