"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!

l want to transfer 10.5 Million usd to your bank account,the fund belongs
to my late brother who died along with his entire family in the Kenya
plane crash

during their vacation journey

The fund is currently in a suspense account awaiting claim .But before I
proceed , you can as well view this site to know more about this
situation.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html

which l hope we can work to met the funds transfer,since the bank said
they need some one from America to claim the funds because of the will
written down by my late brother and because he nationalize over in
America.


Since,l got the information about his death and all his entire family die
in crash,the bank have been expecting any one of his nationality from
America
to come over and claim his money,l was only the one presented but the bank
refuse me and said,his will was to give me 30% as his sister and it is
ONLY any
one from America can claim this funds.

Also said,they can not release the fund to me,unless some one from the
same nationality [from America] applies for it as indicated in there
banking guidelines,

so a friend of mine advise me to contact any one from America,whom can
help me claim this funds.


In that regard,l decided to seek for a Godly one as a partner help assist
to take out the responsibility such as receiving this funds abroad as
instruction pass by my brother,also have it at the back of

your mind,that this prospective opportunity does not involve any risk, and
does not need much engagement from you,since I am familiar with this kind
of transaction being only relative now.

I am also ready to go into any agreement including giving out 30% and
extra 10% for any expense made during the process of transaction.

This is why I need a Godly one as a partner to assist,because this
transaction involve high level of trust and God, since my brothers will
was
that,30% should be given

to any of his relative, 30% to charity organization, by contributing to
the development of evangelism in America, for assisting motherless babies
homes and poor churches

all over America and 10% to his barrister, lastly 30% will be given to
ANY ONE from America [the same nationality, which is you ],which will help
he contributing to the development

of evangelism in the America, assisting motherless babies homes and poor
churches all over America according to the written down will by my late
