"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 my dear


*Hello my dear,*


* Could you help me to receive an inheritance fund at the rate of
$62,500,000.00USD? Into your bank account in your country or elsewhere.*

* A fund has been overdue for International transfer in one of the account
held in our Banque Commerciale du Burkina BCB. In our research we found out
that the original owner of this fund died in a fatal gassy car-accident
that killed both him and his only son whom was supposed to be a beneficiary
next of kin to his father’s asset. This accident happened on his way back
to one of his factory in suburb Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.*

* The owner of this fund is a citizen of South Korea, he own about 2
companies here in Burkina Faso 1 textile meal Plant, and another cement
manufacturing factory, all of this generated him a lot of money here in
Africa.*

* In the light of the above, I am reaching you with this notification to
revert back to me so we can discuss on the successful manners to remits
this fund into your bank account in your country.*

* The fund is overdue for transfer or withdrawal to be made, but nobody has
been coming for this fund hence the owner of fund is dead and the supposed
beneficiary Next of Kin which is his only son dead too. No information
pertaining the deposit of this fund has passed to anybody or organization.
And my position in the bank cannot allow me to lay claim on this fund
because the owner is a foreigner and we the citizen of Burkina Faso are not
permitted to interfere in any foreign affairs.*

* If you are interested to receive this fund under my guidelines I am able
to give you all information’s and the password to pass through our bank
examination for approval to transfer fund to your bank.*
