"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:
- "million united state 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)
- ",000,000" (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)
- "united state dollar" (this email uses bad English)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

Kusari Wagner

Hello dear,

ENDEAVOR TO USE IT FOR GOD KIDS.

I am from Kuwait. I was married to Dr Shawn Wagner who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2005. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $18,000,000 (eighteen Million United State Dollars) with one finance/security Company in Europe. Recently my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Although what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.

Having known my condition I decided to donate this Fund to church or a good individual that will utilize this funds for orphanage, destitute and widows in such a way I am going to instruct. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this funds and my husband relatives' misappropriation of funds weary me and it will be a tragedy for my husband's hard earned funds to be misused. I don't want this funds to be used in an ungodly manner, Hence, this bold decision.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance/Security Company in Europe I will also issue you a letter of authority which will make you original-next of kin to this Fund. Please, prayers for me because the lord is my shepherd. I have set aside 20% for your time and 10% for expenses, if any.

Hoping to hearing from you soon.

Faithfully yours,

Kusari Wagner.
