"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:
- "hundred thousand united states 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)
- "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

DIVINE MISSION!!!

First of all, I seek your indulgence to solicit for your assistance concerning the content of my e-mail, although I am not comfortable discussing it through this manner due to lots of unsolicited mails on the internet presently, but I have no other medium to do so right now since the situation of my health is deteriorating.

INTRODUCTION: I am Mrs. Louisa Vladislav; I am married to late Dr. Viktor Vladislav of blessed memory, a citizen of Republic of Hungary. He was a reputable business magnet-(Oil Explorer) in C te d'Ivoire for many years before He died of Heart Attack in the year 2009, we were married for Thirty-Five years with a child and our only son died in a ghastly motor accident last year 2010.

My late husband deposited the sum of ($5.800.000) Five Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars in a Financial House here in C te d'Ivoire.

Presently I am battling with both lung cancer and stroke and according to my doctor, my medical report quotes a very short life sperm due to my health condition that I only have few months to live, I do not know but only God can say. That is just my faith as a deteriorating cancer patient. But I pray to God to heal me so that I will be alive and see this work done as my late husband instructed me.

Because of my present health condition I have decided to donate the above mentioned funds to an individual Muslim, Christian or any faith, He or She will utilize these funds the way I am going to instruct herein.

I once asked my relatives and my husband relatives to close one of my accounts and use the Money for the less privileged ones, they do closed the account and used the money for their own personal interest. I don't want these funds to be used in such manner. I know we have not met before but I want you to consider this matter as DIVINE MISSION!!!

I want you and your family to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd, my happiness is that I leaved a worthy life and whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you more details regarding this great mission.

Remain blessed.
Yours Sister in Christ,
Mrs Louisa Vladislav
