"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: The Release of the inheritance money offered to you by the late cancer woman

Contact Email Address (rev.raymond_frank@yahoo.com)


I am Amelia Kyle Daniella Mariela, The daughter of a cancer woman (Mrs.Kyle Daniella Mariela). Oh, dear mom! May her soul rest in
perfect peace.

My mother contacted you some time ago in respect to the money transfer of her late husband Daniella Mariela to help take care of me Amelia Kyle Daniella Mariela, due to her sickness before my mother passed
away, she issued a cashier's check to you for your help initially although you backed out thinking that the funds transfer was illegal.


Well, everything was legal and legit and went well through the assistance of a Japanese business man whose name is Mr. Haruki Kintarou, the funds transfer was successful through him.

I am now with the new family who assisted my mother to achieve her goal before she died in Kasugai Japan and am very happy again in LIFE, Because the new family I am staying with took me as their only
daughter. Being an orphan is so challenging but I am happy that I am alive.

In a way to appreciate her kind gesture before she pass away, she dropped a cashier cheque of ( Two million two hundred thousand USD ($2,200,000.00) before her death in your email address and place the
total amount on (Insurance High Security Priorities) and instructed her personal Rev Father who was praying for us when My Mother is alive. Rev Raymond Frank to make sure you receive the total amount
without any problem.

This is her little way of saying thank you for your initial help. She also makes a comment that you should also use some part of money to help those in need due to the ongoing hardship in the world.

My Mother also dropped the Death Certificate with the Rev. He will forward you all this document for proof. Please to avoid any issue, My Mother has paid for the 3 options the bank has in releasing the money
to you so have it in mind that you will not pay any bank charges.

I believe that the only thing the bank will demand for is money to remove the security that was placed on the Draft for safety before the
bank will release the money to you.
