"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 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.

Subject: Request for Business Partnership.

Attention: Friend,

Request for Business Partnership.

I am Mohammed Amend., a Sunni Arab and a member of a strategic
committee in a major industry in Iran ;
I write to seek your partnership in a lucrative oil business. My ideal
partner should be trustworthy,
reliable and have the ability to operate a business in a western nation.
You will not be required to travel to Iran or to leave your country.

I seek your partnership because of an urgent need to move my family
out of Iran as a result of the
deteriorating security situation due to the refusal of the Present
Shiite-ruled government to allow
democracy and respect human rights. There is a strong prospect of a
civil war if the government does
not yield to the wishes of the people for democracy and respect of
human rights.

To indicate your interest or request more details, please contact me
by email:mohammedamennd@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Mohammed Amend.
