"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!

Hola estimado,

Es
bueno escribir hoy aunque no hemos conocido ni conocieron antes. Mi
nombre es Sra. Luralen Jean. Estoy casada con el Sr. Francolini Jean,
quien basó en Costa de Marfil como Inversor por un período de 19 años.
Dejó una cierta cantidad de 11 millones dollars estadounidenses con una
institución financiera en Costa de Marfil. Recientemente, mi doctor me
dijo que yo no podría vivir por más de ocho meses a partir de ahora,
debido a mi
enfermedad del cáncer.

Sabiendo mi condición
decidía donar este fondo a una organización o buena persona que
utilizará en beneficio de los menos privilegiados. El uso de parte de
ella para establecer negocios que va a crear oportunidades de empleo
para la población desempleada es también una buena idea. Cualquier
retraso en su respuesta me dé
espacio para buscar otra buena persona para este mismo propósito. Que
Dios los bendiga por todo lo que hacen en su nombre.

saludos,
Sra.Luralen Jean
