"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!

Hälsningar från fru Beatrice Alfred

Jag skriver dig baserat på din bra profil, snälla. Jag behöver din hjälp
för att investera i Martines verksamhet. Jag tror att jag måste samarbeta
med en medborgare med erfarenhet för att vara säker på att investera i ditt
land. Jag heter fru Beatrice Alfred.

Min bortgångne man har avtal om råolja med Sudans federala regering och vi
har ett personligt oljebolag i staden Bentiu Oil och Upper Nile. Det jag
har erfarenhet fysiskt, jag vill inte uppleva det igen i mitt liv på grund
av de senaste civila och etniska kriserna orsakade av vår president Salva
Kiir och rebellledaren Riek Machar.

Jag har varit under FN:s flyktingläger i Tchad för att rädda mitt och mitt
lilla barns liv. Jag vill be om ditt partnerskap med förtroende för att
överföra och investera de 8 miljoner dollar som min avlidne make deponerade
till ditt land eftersom mitt liv inte längre är säkert i vårt land,

eftersom rebellerna letar efter familjerna till alla oljeaffärsmän i landet
för att döda, och säger att de är människorna som gör landet torrt. Jag vet
dock inte hur du kommer att känna till mitt förslag, men sanningen är att
jag smög in i vårt grannland Tchad innan coronaviruspandemin i vårt land.

Jag flydde med min lilla dotter när rebellerna slog in i vårt hus och
dödade min man som en av de stora oljehandlarna i landet, ända sedan dess
har jag varit på flykt. Jag lämnade mitt land och flyttade till vårt
grannland Tchad med den lilla vapenvila vi hade, på grund av ett ansikte
mot ansikte fredsmöte. samordnat av USA:s tidigare utrikesminister och FN i
Etiopien (Addis Abeba) mellan vår president Salva Kiir och rebellledaren
Riek Machar för att stoppa detta krig. Jag kommer att skicka det senaste
kontoutdraget och fondens övriga dokument med bankuppgifter för din
bekräftelse och bevis. Jag väntar på att höra från dig för att ge dig
detaljer.

Med kärlek från
Fru Beatrice Alfred


Greetings From Mrs Beatrice Alfred

I am writing you base on your good profile, Please. I need your assistance
to invest in Martine business. I believe that I have to partner with a
citizen with experience to be safe in investing in your country. My name is
Mrs.Beatrice Alfred.

My late husband deals on Crude Oil with 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 and Ethnic crises caused by our President Mr.
Salva Kiir and the rebel leader Mr. Riek Machar.

I have been Under United Nation refugee camp in Chad to save my life and
that of my little Child. I want to solicit for your partnership with trust
to transfer and invest the $8 million dollars 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 making the
country dry. Though, I do not know how you will feel to my proposal, but
the truth is that I sneaked into Chad our neighboring country before the
corona virus pandemic in our country.

I escaped with my little daughter when the rebels bust into our house and
killed my husband as one of the big oil dealers in the country, ever since
then, I have being on the run. I left my country and move to Chad our
neighboring country with the little ceasefire we had, due to the face to
face peace meeting accord. coordinated by the former US Secretary of State,
and United Nations in Ethiopia (Addis Ababa) between our President Mr.
Salva Kiirand the rebel leader Mr. Riek Machar to stop this war. I will
send you the recent statement of account and the other documents of the
fund with bank details for your acknowledgement and prove. I will wait to
hear from you so as to give you details.

With love from
Mrs Beatrice Alfred
