"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!

Greetings

With profound respect and humble submission, I beg to state the
following few lines for your kind consideration. My name is
{Oksana Shlonska } I'm from Chernihiv city, Ukraine married to
Volodymyr Nezhenets a successful businessman who signed up with
my son Dmytro to fight against the Russia invasion and was
fatally shot and killed in a gun battle a week after the
invasion. I left KYIV after burying my husband and I lost contact
with my son, presently I am residing in the refugee camp with my
only young daughter as result of the present Russia invasion in
my country.

My late husband before he passed-on donated our Asset to the
Ukraine government and the rest of our properties were totally
destroyed, he informed me of a secret deposit he made with a
Financial Firm for safekeeping. He handed over the Fund Deposit
Certificate and Deposit Agreement to me. Based on my present
status and predicaments I seek for someone to trust who would
stand as my Partner and Investor to receive the amount as Tenure
Investment Proceeds so I can relocate to a peaceful environment
and safeguard the future of my only daughter. Send to me a
confirmation email of acceptance if you are interested. Let the
email also contain your full name, age, Telephone number, country
and residential address, occupation, and your level Of
Investment. I will give you more insight upon the receipt of your
positive response. Pray for me, Pray for Ukraine and for Peace
all over the world, nobody deserves this.

I wait to hear from you asap.

Regards,
Oksana Shlonska
