"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!

Before my children and husband were killed, he deposited the sum
of $8.5 million (Eight Million five hundred thousand Dollars) in
a financial institution. My Doctor told me that I would not last
long due to my ill health. Having known my condition I decided to
donate this funds to a church or better still a God fearing
individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct herein. I want an individual that will use this fund for
orphanages and humanity work.

I took this decision because I don't have any child that will
inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians
and I don't want my husband hard earned money to be misused by
unbelievers. I do not want a situation where this money will be
used in an ungodly manner. As soon as I receive your reply I
shall give you the contact of our family attorney who will assist
you in this project. I will also issue you a letter of authority
that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein.This must be kept confidential from eyes and ears of my
