"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: Yours Mrs. Beatrice N'da Claudia

How are you my dear?
My name is Mrs. Beatrice N'da Claudia; I am married to late Mr. Fabian Claudia for 15years without a child. My husband is a France Citizen while I am a Citizen of Congo. Both of us meet each other and married here in Republic of Cote Divoire where my late husband works with the PETROCI OIL COMPANY as the Petroleum Manager before his death in the year of 2011,

My dear, I decided to contact you today after considering my health condition which my doctor says that I will not last more than 2 months because Presently I am very sick and diagnosed with cancer of lungs including fibroid and tumor which denied me of having children with my husband before his death.

Having know my condition I have decided to donate out my late husband funds in my possession (US$2,500,000.00 Million USA dollars) to a trust worthy person that will use this money to establish a Charity foundation on our Memorial to help the orphans, poor widows and less privileged in the society for the sake of humanity since I don't have any child to inherit the fund when am no more alive.

Please if you will help me on this proposal kindly reply back, after the transfer of the money to your account I permit you to take out 30% of the money for volunteering yourself on this project and use the rest to establish a Charity foundation on our memorial.
God bless you as you reply back
Yours sister
Madam. Beatrice N'da Claudia
