"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:
- "debtmgt@live.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 Sir Madam,

I am Dr.Mark Ud the head of debt management operations of DAH SING BANK UK branch.My letter is in respect of the
attempted transfer of US25.Million accrued from executed oil contracts in Sudan, by a Chinese firm.

As a matter of fact the original contract executors in Sudan has been dragged into political issues, (SEPARATION OF SOUTHERN SUDAN FROM
NORTHERN SUDAN) and as such were denied the necessary fund support documents, that is why we could not do a
direct wire transfer from the Holding bank to your account.we in Debt management operations, decided
to use an affiliate Bank to handle the transfer proper.which entails the use of a very simple,hitch-free legal means of funds transfer.

I will further advise you contact me to further clarify you on how the process will be concluded on:Email:debtmgt@live.com or call me directly on + 44 7045704689.

Yours in service
Dr.Mark Ud
