"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: Please Email my Secretary

Hello dear,

I am very happy to inform you about my success in getting that fund transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from Sweden. I have written to you before without getting any respond from you. I assume that my previous mail did not get to you hence my writing you
again. Presently I am in Sweden for investment with my partner.

Meanwhile I did not forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring the fund despite that it failed us. I gave my secretary a UBA VISA CARD valued at $800,000 to send to you for your help. Email her now to send you the visa card. Also send to her at once:
(1) Your Full Name
(2) Your full address for courier delivery
(3) Mobile Phone Numbers
Thanks for your help.

Her email address is: lkamokai@mail.com
Her name is: Linda Kamokai

Please do let me know immediately you receive the card so that we can share the joy after all the sufferings at that time.In the moment, I am very busy here because of the bogus projects we have at hand.

Finally, remember that I have forwarded instruction to my secretary on your behalf to send you the card once you reach her with your address. If you receive the card do let me know so i give you the pin code and the password to use the card.

Regards,

Kalima Kamokai
