"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:
- "million 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)
- "00,000.00" (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 "dying widow" 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.

I am 68 years old, suffering from long time cancer of the breast. From all
indications my condition is really deteriorating and it's quite obvious
that I won't live more than 3 months according to my doctors. This is
because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. I don't want your
pity, but I need your trust. My late husband died due to this problem we
hard in my country Libya he died on the day our
leader attack our oil port.

And during the period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child. My
late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his
business and wealth. The doctor has advised me that I will not live for
more than 3 month, so I have now decided to spread all my wealth, to
contribute mainly to the development of charity home and for orphanage. I
want this fund to be used for building orphanage homes in the name of my
late husband. Am, sorry if you are embarrassed by my mail.

major oil tycoon, in Libya and deposited the sum of US4.2 000,000.00 (4 .2
Million Dollars only) in abroad two years ago, That's all I have left now,
I need your help to collect these funds and use it to build orphanage
homes that bears the name of my late husband Mr. Lukisa Ticka Lolo, so
that his name remains. So that when I die my soul will rest in peace. The
funds will be entirely in your hands and you are to manage. I hope God
gives you the wisdom to touch very many lives that is my main concern. 30%
of this fund will be for your time and effort, while 70% goes to the
building of orphanage homes. Please to be sure that you can handle this
