"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!

Attention

I am sending you this message as directed by my Husband. Please read with
your good understanding and avoid any sentiment.

My Husband the President of the United States of America Joe Biden
have signed a release clause on your pending fund the sum of USD10, 500
000.00. In this regards it was told that you where unable to pay some
delivering/routine charges levelled on the fund for the year 2020/2021 and
2022 due to your financial position.

However, with my position as the First Lady of the United States of
America, I have pleaded to my Husband and the rest of his Cabinet to
re-issue you a money Order Check of at least USD1, 000 000.00 as a
compensation over your struggles and troubles this transaction may have
caused you, and as God may have it, my Husband signed this request on
11/22/2022 and as I speak to you right now, your Money Order Check worth a
a total sum of USD1, 000 000.00 is ready and should be delivered to your
home address with immediate effect. Am so sorry for not have informed you all
I had a very tight schedule but right now I have made
time to work on this and I appreciate it if you put your time and effort for us
to achieve a successful end.

Furthermore, the White House Cabinet being more sceptical about this have
demanded that you come over to Washington DC to sign for collection of
your money Order Check and also for them to verify your details and Identity,
upon completing this scenario they will release it to you and will help
you cash it out from any Bank or USPS office nearby. Please I will appreciate
your effort to find a way to come over here in DC within 5 working days,
and in other hand I will also like you to let me know if you cannot come
over here in DC for some personal reasons, then I will hire Attorney who
will help you sign for the collection on your behalf and he will bring it
down to your location but it will cost you only the sum of $27 to hire
Attorney who will help you sign it on your behalf.

This is a very important message and it requires your frantic effort and
commitment. My primary objectives are to help the less privileged and to
put smiles on the faces of people all over the world. Yes it is true that
my Husband may have not been a good President because no one is above
mistakes, but my work is to make things look good and to reshape his
Presidential tenor to be acceptable before the entire American citizens
and the World at large.

The president immunity waiver certificate number will be attached in your
consignment so that airport authority will know that President immunity
covers your fund. Finally, I want you to reply to this message with
sincerity and avoid any negative thoughts or whatsoever. I have been
to some part
of the World, including Africa, Middle East, Asia, Europe and South America
etc...I have been able to put smiles on the Faces of their respective
citizens and I am looking forward to doing the same to you. Send it through
Just buy $27 Google Play Card or Steam Wallet Card or iTunes card to
cover the payment.

through this email rqaodof@gmail.com

You will attached the payment scanned copy of the card to me . Try and fill out
your personal details including your, Full name, Home address,
Occupation, Date of Birth, Place of Birth and Mobile number and also copy
of your ID if there is any. Thanks and may the Lord be with you and your
entire Family.
