"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!

Hello My dearest,

I know this mail will come to you as a surprise since we haven't known or
come across each other before considering the fact that I sourced your
profile at dating through the Internet in search of trusted person who can
assist me.I hope you are in good health condition and also successful in
your life endeavors? However, i really want to establish a true
relationship that may lead into a business partnership that will lead us to
a better place if we work well on it.

But Firstly I would give you a brief description about myself, My name is
Becky Kone Jaster. I am US Army Special force team at Afghanistan war zone
fighting ISIS, as the result of my profession in serving my country and the
united nation. I'm a United State Army Engineer with Ranger Award. I grow
up at Orange, Connecticut, United States, I'm 34 years old. Presently i am
in Afghanistan at war zone for peace keeping mission due to the ISIS and
TALIBAN WAR crisis going on here.

More about me, I like table tennis, horse riding, going to cinema, jogging
and golf as favorite sport, listen to rock music, very romantic and honest,
hates lies, I think i am sensitive and kind to people, I have a loving
heart and am very respectful and kind Woman, I have a lot of love to give,
my own Religious is Catholic Christian, I never judge others and am very
compassionate, i love to appreciate the little things in life and am very
respectful.

My dear, i want you to know that we are being attacked by insurgents every
day and car bombs and during one of our rescue mission we found a large
collection of 7.62 Kalashnikov ammo along with boxes contain huge amount of
money that belongs to the supporters of the extremist militant group, also
known as Islamic State, which I believe was money meant for buying more
weapons and ammunition, and it was agreed by all Army officers present on
that rescue mission that the money will be shared among us and which we did.

Out of the total fund my share was $3,700,000.00 (Three Million Seven
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) I am seeking your assistance to
evacuate my share of the money out of this country to your own country for
you to keep it safe on my behalf till i come over to your country.

but i will like you to assure me that if this money is been delivered to
you in your country that you are going to be trustworthy to keep the money
till when I will come to your country to meet you face to face to collect
the money back from you and it clear to me that you might be scared of this
proposal, but i want to let you know that I have made solid arrangements
with a ( UN Security office ) and they have promised to deliver the fund
through diplomatic method to any of my choosing destination.

This delivery is going to be handle legally by the ( UN Security office )
and there will not be any form of risk involve in the process and the money
will be pack safely in a truck case and the same case will be deliver to
you in your country.

I have decided to compensate you with 30% of the total money once after the
money is delivered to you, while the rest balance shall be my investment
capital in your country. but One passionate appeal i will make to you is
not to discuss this matter to a third party, but if you do not want to be
party to this business, please kindly delete this letter from your email
box to avoid any leakage of this information and it will be dangerous to me
based on my position here.

I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will
not betray my trust nor thwart my dream, though you may wonder why I am so
soon revealing myself to you without formal introduction, well, i will say
that my mind convinced me that you are the true person to help me in
receiving and investing this Fund.

Note; I do not know how long we going to remain here and my fate since i
have survived two bomb attack here, which prompted me to search out for a
reliable and trust worthy person to help me receive and invest the Fund,
because I will be coming over to your home country to invest and start a
new life not as a soldier anymore.

I hope my explanation is very clear but if you need further clarification
just let me know and i will explain further, I would also want us to have
an oral conversation but here in the military zone we are not allowed to
make use of mobile phone or data communications, Even smart phones are not
in the peacekeepers’ kits.

Authority has been collecting records on every phone call made in the
military zone that enable analysts to track a person’s movements. We only
make use of radio message and email communication, please let us continue
communicating through email for the mean time.

Conclusively, upon your positive response, I will make all the information
known to you.

I wait to receive your acceptable reply as soon as you read this letter.

Best Regards

Sgt. Becky Kone Jaster.
