"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.
This email message is a "dying merchant" scam.
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.

Greetings,

As you read this, I don´t want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday.

My name is Mr. javed mian, from USA; I have been diagnosed with
esophageal cancer, which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in carrying
for my health. It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I have only
about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have since lost my
power of speech and can only manage to write now; as that has been the only way
I am able to communicate.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for
anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never
generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that is
the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is
more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.

I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live
my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that I know my time is
near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate
and extended family members and as well as a few close friends.

I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have decided to
give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good
deeds I
did on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in UK,
Brazil and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do
this my self any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my
accounts and donate the money, which I have there to charity organization in
Bulgaria; they refused and kept the money to themselves.

Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contented with what I
have left for them. The last of my money which only few of them knows of is the
huge cash deposit that I have with my Bank in London.

I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations.

Best Regards,
Mr. javed main .
