"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!

这是指我舅舅穿着衣服在太阳底下睡觉而言

在绝望深深地压住她、连一点不太坚强的信念也开始动尧许多人都向她掉开了脸、她陷在黑暗的地窖中看不见一线光明的时候,听见这意外亲切的话,知道还有一个人这么不自私地愿意给她帮忙,她很感动,不能够再隐瞒什么了

不过倘若把这些事情瞒住太太她们,万一大小姐日后有三长两短,我怎么对得起太太她们?”杨嫂说到后面,她的眼圈也红了,便不等觉新开口,就往芸的房间去了   5000998
