"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!

Subject: Dear SIR/ Madam

Dear SIR/ Madam

I got your details from your country online directory and having been motivated by your personal status, I decided to approach you for a possible partnership in a multi-million dollar project in crude oil trading. My name is Dr. Mrs. Mary Shorna, the offshore Oil and Gas exploration License Director for Equatorial Guinea National Petroleum Agency in United Kingdom. My office here in London, handles Oil and Gas allocations to foreign Company bidders and actualize Oil lifting and exploration License to contractor Companies and Oil Export License. On 30th April 2015, I facilitated and actualized the Oil Export License (NPA/EG/01-1/SAP/15) for a Russian businessman in confidence through a private chartered Vessel without the Petroleum Agency having the clear data record for the Oil Export license before his death in the Aircraft that crashed in 10 September 2017. His exploration License was for 5 years at 2 Million Barrels per year. The total overloaded Oil Export amounted US$37,500,000.00 (Thirty Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars)

My proposal is this, that we work together to get you the (NPA/EG/01-1/SAP/15) license which will authorize you as the Associates business partner to ( The Russian man) Allied Petroleum and Energy company and subsequently the sole beneficiary of the license in our company’s purchase intentions. This is so because we do not sale our product directly to the buyers rather, through our approved licensed agents who acts as their sales agent/middle man between us and their buyers. The license can be assigned/ transfer to your name as an individual license operator or to your company name if you have a company owned by you alone registered with your local authorities.

I will assist you step by step in the process leading to securing the license from NPAEG and thereafter introduce you to our company for the signing of all the sales agreements with the Allied petroleum. As the license holder, then remit the sales commissions to your nominated bank coordinates after our company has effected payment of the cargo to the NPAEG being the seller.

Please note:
My intentions to profit from this operation should be kept SECRET between both of us. It's against my work ethics to profit from my company’s dealing with any license agent as I have seen this as a good opportunity for me to save enough money against my imminent retirement hence my decision to source for a partner who can work with me in this regard.

Feel free to email directly ask for clarifications to enable you understand this process further.

Kind regards,

Dr. Mrs. Mary Shorna
