"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)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Hello, good morning

How are you doing today, hope you are fine and Ok?

Please i have a desire to invest into Charity work in your country, I
want to build a Multi purppose hospital in your country where Cencer
patients,orphans, Handicaps and the Old poor people can be treated at
very low cost almost free treatments.

I just have the courage to write you today after many days has passed.
I got your email address 7 days ago when i was browsing through a
directory in your country but i could not write to you immediately
because i needed to take some time to think and pray for God to guide
me and also to have a personal conviction of what i am doing.

Presently as i talk to you i am in a Cancer Hospital where i am taking
my medical treatment because of my long time cancer problem but from
all indications my condition is becoming very bad and my last medical
report has confirmed that i have very short time to live.
I write to you today with tears in my eyes and believe that the will
of God will prevail.

Because of this reason I have decided to divide my fund which I
inherited from my Late Husband as the wife since we don't have any
child and donate half of this fund to charity in your country.
I am donating the sum of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars for this project in your country and i want you to be
the channel in which the fund will get to your country for charity
work.

Please when this fund is transferred to your country, You will take
10% of the money for accepting to make this desire a success in your
country and then you will use the 90% for the building of the hospital
as i have instructed you.

Waiting to hear from you so i can give you more details;

Mrs.Pamela
