"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!

I'm happy to inform you that i have succeeded in getting those funds
transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from USA.

then.

Now Contact my personal secretary Mrs. Mariam muhammad. and ask her to send
you the sum of ($450,000 Dollars) which I left with her for your

before given it to my secretary for the security and safety of the money.

to withdraw the money in any ATM machine in your country.
