"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 fake company names, fake addresses, non-existent institutions/documents or other details have appeared in scams before:
- "diplomatic immunity"
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "western union" (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. )
- "his direct line" (a "direct line" in a scam usually means an untraceable mobile phone number used by a scammer in an internet cafe, a redirection service number that forwards to a mobile or a free voicemailbox in a different country.)
- "diplomatic immunity" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "central bank of nigeria" (the name of a person or institution often appearing in 419 scams)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
Western Union money transfer is completely untraceable and therefore is *not* safe to use with anyone you do not know personally. It is the preferred method of online criminals to collect money from their victims.
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.
- +447035941119 (UK, redirects to a mobile phone in another country)
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.

Attn: Beneficiary,

My name is Mr. Jamie Dimon Chief Executive Officer,President and Member of Operating Committee, JP Morgan Chase & Co due to our update of record of transfer sent locally and internationally today I found out that a payment was sent from the United state Embassy in London England via the Central Bank of Nigeria in regard to your contract/Inheritance and lottery funds with the Central Bank of Nigeria to our branch and the payment was paid in your name and information as the owner.

The total sum of $10.5 Million usd is now in our custody and you need to act fast to claim the fund to avoid being returned back and marked as unclaimed payment.

The sum of $10.5 Million usd will be transferred into your account and it will take only 48 hours to get the fund into your account as this is your best shot at receiving yourlong awaited funds.

Due to International banking policy, we will need only one document called Diplomatic Immunity Seal of Transfer which will be issued out by the British Finance Ministry to prove the money is legit once this is made in your Name everything will be complete and you will receive the $10.5 Million usd within 48 hours.

I contacted the U.S High Commission in London England in regards to this Certificate and they promised to assist you due to the distance between you and thier Finance Ministry in London and it will cost the sum of $5,960.00 USD only to get this certificate to enable you receive the $10.5 Million usd within 48 hours.

I explained to them that things are currently hard now in terms of financial needs and it will take you more time to come up with the charge fee and I also told them to help you to reduce the fee to $5,960.00 USD which will be the only fee required and they accepted after seeing reasons with me.

My advice to you is to act fast and use the payment information below to send the $2,960.00 USD to MR.PAUL DANIELS via western union as he works with the U.S High Commission AND ALSO a U.S CITIZEN HE IS READY TO ASSIST YOU ON HOW TO GET THE CERTIFICATE REQUIRED.
