"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!

Hello,

I came across your E-mail from my personal search. Afterwards I decided to
email you directly believing that you will be honest to fulfill my final
wish before I die. I am Mrs. Theresia Silas , from Paris, France, I am 57
years old. I lost my husband and my four years old daughter in a ghastly
car accident in the year 2010,The shock of the death of my only child and
my husband made me four sick. I have been suffering from ovarian cancer and
a high blood pressure patient (HBP) . The doctor confirmed to me that I
have little time to live here on earth due to my health condition.

I was dealing with Gold Dust and Gold Dory Bars here in Burkina Faso till
my sudden illness paralysed me here in the hospital, at this moment. My
late husband deposited a total sum of Nine million seven hundred thousand
US dollars $9,700,000.00 with one of the leading banks here in Burkina Faso
but unfortunately I cannot visit the bank since Iâ€™m critically sick and
powerless to do anything myself. Sadly I have no child nor relatives that
will come for the money when I am dead.

Therefore, I want you to receive the money and take 40% to take care of
yourself and family while 60% should be used basically on humanitarian
purposes mostly to establish orphanage homes, Motherless babies, homeless
privileged and disabled citizens and widows. As soon as I receive your
reply in my private Email (
silastheresia94@gmail.com). I will send you the bank contact to contact
the bank.
I would like to know your interest and willingness to assist me. Hope to
hear from you soon.

Best Regards ,

Mrs.Theresia .
