"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "from the desk of" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "barrister" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
- "chambers" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
This email message is a next of kin scam.
Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

died on the 2nd November 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990 with other passengers on board all passengers unfortunately lost their lives (May their soul rest in perfect peace) since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my client’s extended relatives but this proved unsuccessful.

After all these several unsuccessful attempts, since it's not compulsory that the next-of-kin must be a blood relation to the deceased, hence I contacted you because you are from the same country with my late client, Be informed that a next-of-kin can be anybody, friends or organization.

Presently, the Bank where the deceased (my client) had a Deposit valued at US$10, 500, 000.00 Million issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin to my Client to receive its benefit or have the account confiscated, so I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating this benefit left behind by my client Before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank.

To this effect, I now seek your consent to present you to the Bank as the next of kin of the deceased (my Client) so that the proceeds of this Deposit valued at US$10, 500, 000.00 Million can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money; 40% to me and 50% to you, while 10% should be given to any Orphanage Home as I am not Financially capable of Financing this Transaction on my own.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me
