"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!

Saludos querida, KveÃ°

KveÃ°ja elskan,

Saludos. Soy la Sra. MarÃa RodrÃguez de Australia. soy viuda de

mis condiciones realmente se estÃ¡n deteriorando y es bastante obvio
que no vivirÃ© mÃ¡s de dos meses segÃºn mis mÃ©dicos.

Esto se debe a los dolores diarios. Mi difunto esposo muriÃ³ hace tres aÃ±os.
aÃ±os y durante nuestro matrimonio no pudimos tener hijos. mi difunto
mi esposo era muy rico y despuÃ©s de su muerte heredÃ© todo el
negocio y el
riqueza de Ã©l. los mÃ©dicos me advirtieron que no podÃa vivir mÃ¡s de
dos meses, asÃ que decidÃ compartir parte de mi riqueza para
contribuir a los pobres y necesitados en Ãfrica, AmÃ©rica, Asia y
Europa a travÃ©s de la ayuda de Ã©l debido a mi condiciÃ³n de salud ahora.

Debido a mi estado de salud, no puedo manejar esta donaciÃ³n por mi cuenta.
cuenta, por lo que busco la ayuda de Ã©l, para que me ayude a compartir este
DonaciÃ³n con los pobres y necesitados de tu paÃs.

Te elegÃ y recÃ© por ello. Estoy dispuesto a donar la suma de
($2.5 millones de dÃ³lares) para que puedas ayudar a la gente
pobres y necesitados cerca de ti. tan pronto como tenga noticias
tuyo, te enviarÃ© toda la informaciÃ³n necesaria para transferir fondos
a su cuenta bancaria en su paÃs.
