"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:
- "i am using this medium to " (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "@diplomats.com" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
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.

Attn: My Dear,

I am Mrs. Susan Aisthorpe, I am a citizen of the USA, 68 years Old. I reside here in Bay City Michigan and my address is as follows 214 24th Street. Bay City MI, 48708, USA. Currently I am thinking of relocating having been paid my prize compensation money. I am one of those that took part in the IMF Compensation exercise in 2010 and they refused to pay me, I had paid over US$100,000 while in the MI, trying to get my Compensation payment but it was all to no avail.

I decided to travel down to the IMF office in New York with all my Compensation payment remittance documents, and I was directed to meet Dr. Richard Holmberg, who is a member of the IMF fraud monitoring team. He revealed a lot to me, explaining why I never got my funds because whoever I was in contact with for the past years were not real and could not help me get my funds. He said that they were only after my money that was why they kept telling me to pay for all sorts of crazy documents.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my total remittance compensation payment. Right now my words cannot fully describe how happy I am because I have received my total remittance compensation payment. A However while explaining the procedures to me, Dr. Richard Holmberg, showed me a list of people who are still yet to receive their compensation for one reason or another and that was where I saw your email address as one of the beneficiaries. That is why I am using this medium to contact you and inform you, that you should stop dealing with these people who continually ask you to bring money for all sorts of document, transfer fees, courier delivery charges and so on until they milk you dry. My advice to you is to contact Dr. Richard Holmberg today. Below is his contact details feel free to contact him and mention to him that you are listed as of the beneficiaries for the IMF compensation remittance A and he will attend to you just like he did to me, and i!
