"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!

A Letter From Mrs. Patricia Moore.
Private Email: patriciamoore@mail2ca.com

Greetings,
Please read this slowly and carefully as it may be one of the
most important mails you'll ever get. My name is Mrs. Patricia
Moore from USA Georgia and I am very sorry for the attachment, I
am 59 years old woman. I was married to late Eng. Bernard Moore
who is my husband and also the CEO CABLE, INC. DBA. RON MORELL
CONSTRUCTION, San Diego USA, and a seasoned contractor in Kuwait.
He died on, 13th October 2016 in Kuwait. My late husband and I
were married for years without a child of our own and after his
death i decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home. As I speak to you, i have been metabolized with
congested heart failure, I was presently admitted in Hospital in
Frankfurt Germany since Last year the 24th of November 2017, My
present situation which my doctor confirm to me i should go back
to my special hospital in USA before 17th of this month January,
Because the doctors have confirmed and told me that my health
worsens even after all my encounters. After my husband passed
away last year, I realized he deposited a huge sum of money with
Security Company and this is the reason why i requested for your
assistance reply to me with a message stating that you are
willing to proceed.

My late Husband's cash that was deposited in a security company
was a total of US $7.5 million. As i write to you, our despoit at
the security company would be a waste if i die and that is why i
have come to a conclusion of donating it as gift to the less
privilege and also, motherless babies home. Please take note that
after all processes are done with the help of my lawyer
(Barrister Fredrick An sang), all the relevant document needed
for this transactions, You have will to take 35% from the total
sum and the rest 65%, you will donate it to charity (less-
privilege). I have sent the instructions necessary to you, Bar.
Fredrick will take control over procedures to make sure it is
done accurately, If you are not willing to continue at any time,
Please do not bother to reply back to me. My husband's brother is
an addicted smoker and drinker who spends his funds on expensive
drinks and unnecessary valuables and so i will not co-operate
with him for any reason, my husband worked for so hard all his
life. After going through your Internet profile i decided to
contact you for friendship & assistance for the distribution of
these inheritance.

Please note that i have asked you to help for your consent to
this last wish of mine, i am too weak making business processes,
and also have been confined to a wheel chair from my hospital for
long due to the state of my health and I am traveling back to the
USA this month, This is the reason why i need your answer soonest
through my private E-mail: patriciamoore@mail2ca.com or you can

to this discovery. If it is true that I don't know you, in my
heart i feel, God has revealed to me to do this. If you wish to
help, email me at your earliest, i would inform you on how to
complete the transaction at the security company discussed in our
message to transact the funds to your designated account you may
wish to choose for this purpose. Please reply; I pardon you to
enable me forward these information to the security company above
