"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:
- "will come to you as a surprise" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "might come to you as a surprise" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "i feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
This email message is a next of kin scam.
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.

Subject: DEAREST ONE,YOUR MAXIMUM ASSISTANCE NEEDED,FROM HASSAN MOHAMMED D 2.

Greetings Dear One,

Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I come across your profile and have decided to get in touch with you after my prayer, to see if you can help me alleviate this problem. I can't imagine how you will feel receiving a sudden letter from a remote country far away and probably from someone you are not closely related with. But all the same, I believe we do not need to be of blood relatives before we can establish cordial relationship.

This proposal might come to you as a surprise but believe me that it is transparent business. My name is Mr.Hassan Mohammed, and I work in the delivery department in a security company. I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important Business. I was on a routine inspection when i discovered a deposit account with a BAL. Of (FIFTEEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS STERLINGS).

I later learn t on further discreet investigation that the depositor of the funds has passed away (dead) leaving no beneficiary to the deposit.

The company will deliver this money to anyone with legal claims because the former depositor was a foreigner. I am certainly sure that nobody will come again for the claim of this money. We claim this money with legal claims to the deposit Holder; therefore I need your cooperation in this transaction. I will provide all necessary information needed in order to claim this money, Hoping in God that you will never let me down now and in future o.k!.Late Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri (November 1, 1944 - February 14, 2005),married to Nazek Audi Hariri, was a Lebanese self-made billionaire and business tycoon, and was five times Prime Minister of Lebanon (1992-1998 and 2000-2004)before his last resignation from office on October 20, 2004. The late Rafik Hariri died on February 14, 2005 when explosives equivalent to around 300 kg of C4 were detonated as his motorcade drove past the Saint George Hotel in the Lebanese capital, for more information please log on to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafik_Hariri

We WANT TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO A SAFE FOREIGN ACCOUNT ABROAD BUT I DON'T KNOW ANY FOREIGNER WHOM I CAN TRUST, I KNOW THAT THIS MESSAGE WILL COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE AS WE DON'T KNOW OURSELVES BEFORE, BUT BE SURE THAT IT IS REAL AND A GENUINE BUSINESS. I CONTACT YOU BELIEVING THAT YOU WILL NOT LET ME DOWN ONCE THE FUND GOES TO YOU.LET ME HERE FROM YOU URGENTLY VIA PRIVATE EMAIL BOX I expect your

Urgent response including your addresses, your

Telephone and Fax Number Thanks for expected cooperation.

Best Regards,
Mr.Hassan Mohammed.
