"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:
- "a security company " (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "the consignment" (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)
- "consignment " (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)
- "hundred thousand us 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)
- ",500,000" (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 next of kin 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: TRANSFER OF MONEY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT FOR INVESTMENT

Dear Sir,

TRANSFER OF MONEY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT

My name is Mr. Marcus Nasori the Personal Assistant of the former
Libyan Petroleum Minister, Late Mr Hosea Abdullahi who died in March 2011
as a result of bullets wounds he sustained during an air raid between the
Gaddafi forces and the UN led forces on his way to his office since he has
retired from active politics before the recent crises stated.

In view of the recent death of my boss who was a divorcee and had no child
before his death, I am very worried over the political crises as Gaddafi
has been killed, and I have decided to contact you, to help me to move some
funds to your country for investment.

During his tenure in Office, my late boss above named, awarded an oil

Bunkering Contract to a Russian firm worth Several Millions of dollars a
few years ago and over invoiced the contract to the excess of
$15,500,000(Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars.)

Being the Petroleum Minister as at the time of awarding this contract,
after its execution, inspection and commissioning, the original contractors
was paid for the actual contract amount which was $273,000.000(Two hundred
and seventy three million USD) remaining the over invoiced amount which he
Divided into Two Parts of $8m and $7.5m and deposited part in an overseas
Bank and Part with a Security Company and declared its original contents
of the consignment as X RAY PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS, this way the security
company themselves, does not know that the Original content of the
consignment is pure cash in USD100 Bills,carefully arranged, sealed and and
Deposited with them and had intended to use it in purchase of properties in
real estates within Asian Region.

As a civil servant in his country, he could not circulate these funds in
our banking system due to Code of Conduct Bureau which the late Gaddafi
formulated to intimidate all his ministers for fear of them getting rich
and might decide to overthrow hence he decided to fix all these monies
overseas pending when he get a partner overseas for possible investments.

Unfortunately, he's no more to conclude this arrangement because of his
sudden death, nobody from his family has ever mentioned about this fund as
none of them knows that he has money overseas rather they have collected
all money in his local bank account here.

As his personal assistant who is the only person that knows the secret and
actual contents of the deposited monies, I have made series of efforts to
collect from the bank and security company the deposited funds and was
asked by the management of both the Bank ans Security Company to present
his next of kin to them for the release the Money and Deposited items as
they cannot release such to me as I was an ordinary employer to him.

Therefore, I am contacting you now based on this fact and hereby seek your
hand in this since I am the only authorized person to provide his next of
kin to the Bank and the Security Company for the release.

I have already informed my late Boss Attorney that I am still making
serious efforts to locate my boss relations so that I can get some amounts
from them to start up my own business as my boss is no more living and did
not settle me due to his sudden death and the lawyer has agreed to help me
file the documents of the claim.

I told the lawyer above story because I do not want him to know that the
you being whom I am going to present is not related to my late boss.

If this interest you, all you need to do is to send to me Your Full
Name,Address and Telephone and mobile number, upon the receipt, I will
submit it to the lawyer all the documents to proof that you are the
Business partner to my late boss for the funds to be released to you.

I am of the kind suggestion that we shall share the money 50/50 between
ourselves as I do not want to put greediness into this as the money is not
my personal money.

Waiting urgently for your reply today unfailingly.

Thanks,

Mr. Marcus Nasori
