"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!

Subject: My Sincere Greetings,

My Sincere Greetings,

I know this means of communication may not be morally right as we haven't
met before. I got your contact address through E-mail Data Directory while
searching for a credible and reliable foreign partner. My Name is Mrs. Sari
A. from Norway. I am married to Mr. Paul Wulun, a Contractor and Gold
merchant who owned a Small Gold Mine in Ouagadougou; He died of pulmonary
disease in August 2017, and our long years of marriage were not blessed
with children. During his lifetime he deposited the sum of (â‚¬5.8 Million
Euros) in SoGen bank in Burkina Faso. The deposited money was from the sale
of the shares, death benefits payment and entitlements.

I have been suffering from cancer for a long time and presently I am
partially suffering from a stroke illness which has become almost
impossible for me to move around. It's pretty obvious that I may not live
long. I have been touched by God Almighty to donate what I have inherited
from my late husband to you for good work of God Almighty to help
Motherless babies/Less privileged/Widows because I am dying and diagnosed
with cancer 4 years ago. I'm in urgent need of a trusted person to help
fulfill my dreams.

Best Regards,
Mrs. Sari A.
