"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!

father was into gold mining, and he deposited a huge amount US$17.5M
with the Bank here in Malaysia 2020, and since then I could not be
able to get the release of this fund, due to my late father inform the
bank that I must present someone who.

will invest the fund into a lucrative project and beside I do not
know the process to start about it.

Please can you help me to get in contact with the Bank so that they.

can help me in this situation.

Please if you are capable and willing to help, kindly reply back to me
