"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: Hello

Greetings

My name is miss Borte Ogotai. I,m a business woman from Mongolia dealing with gold exportation here in Republic of Burkina Faso. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer disease which doctors have confirmed that i have just few weeks to live, I sleep every night without knowing if i will be alive to see the next day,and Now that Im ending the race like this,without any family members and no child, I have decided to hand over the sum of ($4.5 Million Dollar) in my account to you for the help of orphanage homes/the poor widows in your location to fulfill my wish on earth.

You may be wondering why I choose you. But someone lucky has to be chosen according to the revelation I heard after my prayers today.I have laid all the solemn trust in you before i decided to donate what I have to charity through you.
But before handing over my data's to you,please i want you to kindly assure me that you will take only 50% of the money and share the rest to orphanage homes, help the poor and widows.

response quickly to enable me forward you the bank contact details now that I have access to internet before it will be too late as the bank is aware of my decision over the fund. Because at this stage if no one apply for the money it will transfer to the bank treasury when Im gone and they will not use it to help the poor orphans, widows to fulfill my wish on earth.

Thanks

MISS BORTE OGOTAI
