"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: Greetings, my dear

Greetings, my dear

I am writing to you based on trust. My name is Mrs.Janeth George, My late husband deals in Crude Oil with the Federal Government of Sudan and we have a personal Oil firm in Bentiu Oil zone town and Upper Nile city.

What I have experience physically, I don't wish to experience it again in my life due to the recent civil Ethnic crises caused by our President Mr. Salva Kiir and the rebel leader Dr. Riek Machar, I'm in a refugee camp in Côte d'Ivoire to save my life.

I want to solicit for your partnership with trust to transfer and invest the sum of (Ten million Five Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling) deposited by my late husband to your country, because my life is no longer safe in our country, since the rebels are looking for the families of all the oil business men in the country to kill, saying that they are the people that is milking the country dry.

Let me know if you are willing and capable of assisting us in getting this fund transferred to your bank account so that I can give you more information on how to get in contact with the bank where my late husband deposited this fund when he was alive.

With love from

Mrs.Janeth George
