"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!

Allt jag behöver för att vara lycklig är att ha en passionerad man vid min sida
som aldrig kommer att ge upp het sex.
Hela mitt liv har jag ägnat mig åt olika män,
därför har jag stor erfarenhet av sexuella relationer och kan överraska alla herrar.
I sängen kan jag göra allt och mer
men nu är jag ledig och letar efter en partner,
som du kan ha sex med länge, ofta och passionerat.
