"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!

This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- ",000,000" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)

Am Mrs. Anneli S. Christel

I am now 64 years old and I was diagnosed with Lung Cancer on the 28th of August, 2019. Am currently in the Hospital Cancer Centre and Institute of Oncology for treatment.

It's possible you have heard a similar story that has no basis, but this is different, it's a true story of my situation at the moment been that am a widow and childless, am willing to donate the total sum of $49,000,000.00 Dollars equivalent my late husband left for me and i am wishing that his legacy lives on in the many charities and good causes he supported during his lifetime." As I lay on my sick bed, I want you to help me in carrying out my last wish on earth which will also be very profitable and beneficial to you.

I want to donate all the total sum of $49,000,000.00 Dollars to you to build any charity home of your choice in my name in your Country.

1. Real Estate of low cost
2. Better life program for rural people.
3. Home for the aged.
4. Orphanage home.

These are the areas I envisage to direct the project, I think this can bring equity and fairness to our society.
Please use judiciously 60% of this fund for the foundation and the remaining 40% will be for your acceptance offer and unforeseen expenses that might arise in the course of executing this project since i won't be able to act why lying down here and not knowing when my breath will stop as stated by the doctors. So I live each day as my last.
If you deemed yourself capable and willing to handle this project with trust and honesty quickly contact me and respond back as I will direct you on the steps to be taken to actualize this dream.

This is a matter of urgency as I live every day as my last day on earth. Now I have realized why Steve Job says God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyoneâ€™s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. The wealth I have won in my life I cannot bring with me. What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love.

Regards,
Mrs. Anneli S. Christel
