"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:
- "dear sir/madam" (a standard Nigerian greeting phrase)
- "will come to you as a surprise" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "top secret" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
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.

Subject: Mrs. Angela Dlamini

Dear Sir/Madam,

I know this email will come to you as a surprise but I want to plead with you to patiently read through it to understand my reason of writing to you.

Firstly, please permit me to give you some background about myself; my name is Mrs. Angela Dlamini former wife's of King Mswati (III) of Swaziland. I was betrothed to the King as his Sixth wife at a very young age due to our cultural practice which allows a king to marry any woman of his choice no matter her age.

As a young girl, i was subjected to several years of emotional and physical abuse in the hands of the King until May 2012 when I took a decision to leave the royal palace to begin a new life. Please read the web page below for detail information about my ordeal: http://www.news24.com/Africa/News/Swazi-kings-wife-leaves-him-20120506

However, during my stay in the royal palace as the king's wife, I was able to accumulate some amount of money which I Secretly deposited with a security/Finance company in the neighboring country South Africa without the knowledge of the king or anyone in the royal palace.

For security reasons, I have decided to relocate this fund from South Africa to either Europe or United States of America for safe keeping and also for investment thus my reason for writing to you.

I want you to help me receive this money in your bank account and be my fund manager. For the record, the total amount of money I want to transfer to your country is Six Million, Eight hundred and Fifty Thousand United States dollars.

We will discuss the commission you will receive for your assistance but more importantly I will like to go into partnership with you in any profitable business venture.

Kindly contact through the email address below if you are willing to partner with me and please I beg of you to keep this email a top secret for my safety as I do not want anyone including the My former husband( The king) to know my plans.

I look forward to your reply.
Yours Sincerely,

Mrs. Angela Dlamini,
