"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!

Dobry dzieÅ„ moja droga

Jestem pani Martina Francis, chora wdowa piszÄ…ca ze szpitalnego Å‚Ã³Å¼ka
bez dziecka. KontaktujÄ™ siÄ™ z PaÅ„stwem, abyÅ›cie dowiedzieli siÄ™ o moim
pragnieniu przekazania sumy (2 700 000,00 USD MILIONÃ“W USD), ktÃ³rÄ…
odziedziczyÅ‚am po moim zmarÅ‚ym mÄ™Å¼u na cele charytatywne, obecnie
fundusz jest nadal w banku. Niedawno mÃ³j lekarz powiedziaÅ‚ mi, Å¼e mam
powaÅ¼nÄ… chorobÄ™ nowotworowÄ… i moje Å¼ycie nie jest juÅ¼ gwarantowane,
dlatego podejmujÄ™ tÄ™ decyzjÄ™..

ChcÄ™, abyÅ›cie skorzystali z tego funduszu dla ludzi ubogich,
maltretowanych dzieci, mniej uprzywilejowanych, koÅ›cioÅ‚Ã³w, sierociÅ„cÃ³w
i cierpiÄ…cych wdÃ³w w spoÅ‚eczeÅ„stwie.

ProszÄ™, wrÃ³Ä‡ do mnie natychmiast po przeczytaniu tej wiadomoÅ›ci, aby
uzyskaÄ‡ wiÄ™cej szczegÃ³Å‚Ã³w dotyczÄ…cych tej agendy humanitarnej.

Niech BÃ³g ciÄ™ bÅ‚ogosÅ‚awi, kiedy czekam na twojÄ… odpowiedÅº.

Twoja siostra.
Pani Martina Francis.
