"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 have this Libyan client whom I got to know about 11 years ago .
He was a prominent man during the days of the Libyan Strongman Mummar
Gaddaffi. As the government of Gaddaffi came down, he ran out of the
country with treasures that he could travel out with. My client came
down here to Ghana with treasures and funds totaling about 2 billion
dollars.

I have helped him sell some gold bars running into Millions of dollars
in the past and so a strong bond and trust has been established
between us.

Presently, out of the 2 billion US dollars worth of treasures he
arrived into Ghana, he has converted the sum of 500 million dollars to
cash and has deposited it here in Accra.

manager who will be capable of taking the deposited sum as Loan and
will be able to invest this sum on an interest rate of 3.95% annually

working contract for the funding and modalities for this operation
will be spelt out in the contract. Be rest assured that with our
experience in this field everyone will be protected and the funding
secured as fast as possible for this Proposal.
