"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!

感激和渴望压倒了他
不过许多年轻人还时常提到它
以后小舅妈每次叼上烟，我舅舅伸手来要打火机，并且说：报告管教！我懂规矩啦！后来，我舅舅在碱滩上躺成一个大字，风把刨碎的碱屑吹过来，落在皮肤上，就如火花一样的烫
