"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!

Caro in Cristo,
Sono la signora Rita Williams, ho sposato Mr. David Williams, 19 anni
fa senza figli e mio marito sono morti nel 2007. Li sto contattando
per conoscere il mio desiderio di donare la quantitÃ di ($ 6.500.000)
che ho ereditato dal mio defunto marito in beneficenza.
Voglio donare $ 6,5 milioni per farti utilizzare il 70% di questo
fondo per aiutare i poveri durante l'utilizzo del restante 30% per la
tua famiglia.
Attualmente, il fondo Ã¨ ancora in banca. Di recente, il mio medico mi
ha detto che ho una malattia grave che Ã¨ problemi di cancro (Cancro
del sangue e Parkinson) e non durerÃ² per i prossimi 2 mesi.
Voglio una persona che usi questo background per orfanotrofi, scuole,
chiese, vedove, propagando la Parola di Dio nel suo paese.
Rispondi per ulteriori informazioni su come ricevere questo fondo.

Tua sorella in Cristo
Signora Rita Willians
