"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:

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:
- "dearest one," (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- ",500,000" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
- "00,000.00" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
- "abidjan" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)

Dearest One,

Complement of the season. I am Miss Rose Naraba. I am from Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. I deemed it necessary to disclose my present situation to you if you may be of any assistance.

The daughter of the late Mr. Robert Naraba, the former Interior Minister, Republic of Cote d'Ivoire who served with the regime of the ousted President. My late father was among the patriots who were with the former president in the presidential residence before it was attacked by the rebels fighting for the new president.

I have contacted you if you may be willing and interested to help me receive this fund sum of $7,500,000.00 in your account and use it for estate.

I am desperately in need of your assistance and I have summoned up courage to contact you being that I found you as a person that can be honest,trusted.

Miss Rose Naraba.
