"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!

Dear Sir/Madam
Please consider this message as a serious issue.
My Name is Jubril Themba, I am from Banjul, Gambia. I worked as a
personal confidant to the longtime leader Yahya Jammeh who ruled
Gambia for 22-years. During his final weeks in power, he was busy
plundering the state coffers and shipping out luxury vehicles by cargo
plane, moved millions of dollars with his family to Equatorial Guinea.
At a point, I thought of myself and my family, so I had to take
advantage of the situation to move out some funds through my contact
which was successfully lodged in South Africa. This gave me the
confident to leave Gambia to Dubai UAE hoping to start a new life with
a comfortable investment.
My motive of contacting you is to seek your assistance in
investment partnership until I gain full immunity here in Dubai UAE.
You are welcome to meet with me for proper meeting and further
discussion on this matter. Please call me for further clearification on: Te=

I will appreciate reading from you soon.
Do have a pleasant day as I wait for your quick response.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Jubril Themba.
