"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!

With respect and humanity, I was forced to write you in the context of a humanitarian ground. My name is Mrs. Amina Mohamed, my husband a director in a trading company here in Cote D Ivoire.We were married without a child for 36 years. He died after heart artery operation.

And recently, my doctor told me I have not been for the next eight months because of my cancer problem and stroke). Before my husband he died lodged the sum of 4.5 million US dollars (US $ 15.5 million). In a bank here in the Ivory Coast.

Currently, this money is here in a bank. Having my condition known that I decided to donate this fund to any good God, man or woman, that this fund will use the way in which I will instruct.

I want someone whowillwill use this fund according to the desire of my deceased husband to use less privileged people, child homes, widows and the Word of God to spread.

I have this decision because I have no child who inherit these funds, and I do not want to be removed in where this money is used godlessly. For this reason I take this decision you take over this fund at hand.

I'm not afraid of death So I know where I'm going. I always want you to remember me in the daily prayers Because of my up cancer operations.

Write as soon as possible back a delay in your answer to give me space in the procurement of another person for the same purpose.

God bless you as I hope to hear from you so soon.
