"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:
- "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)
- "barr." (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
- "mrs.alicelampard@msn.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.

Attention.

I am Mrs.Danwora Edwards, I am a US citizen, 58 years Old. I reside in District of Colorado 80530. My residential
address is as follows 6145 Needlegrass Green, Frederick, Colorado 80530 United States,i am thinking of moving since
I am now wealthy. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused
to pay me,I had paid over $42,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to West Africa with all my compensation documents, And I was directed to meet
Barr.Alice Lampard, who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE and a Human Rights Activist (Lawyer), and I
contacted her and she explained everything to me. She said whoever is contacting them through emails are fake.
She took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on
earth because I have received my compensation funds amounteing to $1.5,00,000.00 Moreover Barr.Alice Lampard.
showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email as one of the
scam victims, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund,
they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Barr.Alice Lampard.

You have to contact her directly on this information below.

COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE
Name : Barr.Alice Lampard.
Human Rights Activist (Lawyer)
Email:mrs.alicelampard@msn.com
Phone: +2348091290434

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with
them, it is not in any way with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have
nothing.

The only money I paid after I met Barr.Alice Lampard. was just $290.00 for the paper works, take note of that.

Thank You and Be Blessed.

Mrs.Danwora Edwards.
