"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:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "million dollars" (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)
- ",000,000" (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)
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.

Subject: Almed Al Nayle

Dear Friend,

As you read this, I dont want you to feel sorry for me, because, I
believe everyone will die someday. My name is Almed Al Nayle a
merchant in Dubai,in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal
cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I
have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
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 focused on
my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret
all this as I now know that there is more to life than 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 God has called me, I have willed and given most of my
property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as
well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and
accept my soul so, I have decided to give also to charity
organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on
earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations
in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia.

Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this
myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my
accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity
organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan,they refused and kept the money
to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to
be contended with what I have left for them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit
of Sixty million dollars $60,000,000,00 that I have with a
finance/Security Company abroad.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to
charity organizations. I have set aside 40% for your time and service.
Please reply me with honesty as soon as you receive this mail. God
be with you.
Almed Al Nayle.

NB: For confidential reasons you can contact me through my personal
and confidential email address:almedal_nayle468@hotmail.com
