"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!

Mr/Mrs,

I am Marco Giuseppe Luigi, a member of GIANNI ORIGONI AVVOCATOS (IT) and a private lawyer to Sr. Vittorio Gregotti (deceased). I was his attorney and legal adviser for over a decade, until his death two months ago. Sr. Vittorio Gregotti was 92 years old when he died of coronavirus along with his heart disease. Before retiring from active duties, he was a successful businessman and architect. His health remained for many years and has become as critical as age has said about him. He had no biological children and due to these reasons, he decided to share his entire property and money that worth € 30,000,000.000 (thirty billion euros) to relatives/individuals and companies. However, he did not declare all his assets intentionally, leaving behind € 25,000,000.00 (twenty-five million euros), which is confidential information between him and my firm.

Prior to his date, he placed his will and documents under the jurisdictions of my firm, and with the documents, we have here your name appeared as one of the beneficiaries of certain properties and a cash amount of € 15, 685,000.00 and two properties in the south of France and on the basis of the deceased the beneficiary of the World Fund to always make Sr Vittorio Gregotti FONDAZIONI asístanse to his World Wide. You can get more information through his Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vittorio_Gregotti .

Vittorio Gregotti lives from 10 August 1927 – 15 March 2020) was an Italian architect, born in Novara Piedmont, Italy. He was seen as both a member of the Neo-Avant Garde and a key figure in 1970s Postmodernism.


The fund (€ 15,685,000,000) is ready to be transferred to you on the following condition:

* It is necessary to issue this chamber the progress report of the investments on a quarterly basis, that is, every three months.
* Any more investment development plans be forwarded to this firm for preview before execution.
* You are in charge of managing and directing investments, while our duty is to oversee and verify that the investment is stock or flow.

*We will send delegates to inspect the investment after this Covid-19 after the funds have been transferred to you and two months later for evaluation. Since this is the measure that was endorsed by the deceased to ensure beneficiaries make the right investment and management of the fund they received.

If you have read these conditions and have decided on them, then you can proceed to the correct fund transfer. This will involve me processing some legal documents and affidavits to seal our contract and affidavits that back up the transfer of funds. Then the transfer of funds can be done to your bank account by bank transfer. Also, please send me a scanned copy of your ID card or your current international passport, for correct identification.


Note: From this stage, all correspondence must be sent to my email box: bar_association@outlook.com
