"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!

operation. I have decided to WILL the sum of $7,000,000.00 USD (Seven
Million United States Dollars Only)to you for the good work of the lord,
the orphanage, the needy and to help the motherless.
Presently, I have informed my law. barrister Eric James about my decision
in WILLING this fund to a reliable individual, you are to get back to me
immediately if you are interested in carrying out this task, so that I will
instruct you on how to get in touch with my lawyer.
Lastly, I know I have never meet you, but in other to fulfill this which
borders me most and I got your email address through my personal search on
the Internet, my mind tells me to inform you about this, and I hope you act
sincerely, please get back to me immediately.
