"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!

Bonjour
Je suis BOUDIER SAVANA PACHECO, demeurant dans le FARGNIERS France,
chrétienne et j'ai 62 ans. En effet, j'ai le cœur serin vu que je suis
touchée par une

maladie qui ne cesse de dégrader ma vie depuis près de quatre ans.
Selon le Docteur la Boule de sang qui s'est installée dans le cerveau
est à un niveau très

avancé.J'ai peur que le reste d'argent environ près de
1.025.000D'euros soient un gâchis après mon décès. J'ai pris la
décision de leguer cet d'argent soit

1.025.000D'euros que je laisse derrière moi. Ma famille m'a rejeté
pour le simple faire que je sois marié à un homme de peau noir et cela
a duré des années.

Aux filles des temps, j'ai perdu mon père et ma mère. Bien sûre que je
ne vous connais pas, mais après une longue réflexion et à travers mes
prières, j'ai

pris cette décision de vous contacter. Je vous fais profiter cet
argent car, j'ai la ferme conviction que cet argent pourra mieux
servir ailleurs et faire

profiter d'autres personnes qui en sont le plus dans le besoin plutôt
que dans les soins qui ne font qu'en réalité ruiner ma vie.Je vous
prie donc d'accepter

cet argent que je veux mettre gracieusement à votre disposition contre
votre prière pour moi et fait profiter les autres autour de vous.

Hello
I am BOUDIER SAVANA PACHECO, residing in FARGNIERS France, Christian
and I am 62 years old. Indeed, my heart can be seen as I am affected
by an illness that has continued to degrade my life for almost four
years. According to Dr. Blood Ball that has settled in the brain is at
a very advanced level.I'm afraid that the rest of the money about
1.025.000euros is a mess after my death. I made the decision to leave
this money of € 1,025,000, which I leave behind. My family rejected me
just to make me married to a black-skinned man and it lasted for
years. To the daughters of the times, I lost my father and my mother.
Of course I do not know you, but after a long reflection and through
my prayers, I made this decision to contact you. I make you benefit
from this money because, I firmly believe that this money can better
serve elsewhere and benefit other people who are most in need rather
than in the care that is actually ruin my life. Therefore, I beg you
to accept this money that I want to graciously make available to you
against your prayer for me and to share the benefit of others around
you.
