"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 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)
- "united state dollar" (this email uses bad English)
- "can i completely trust you?" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
This email message is a orphan scam.

Greetings,

I am writing you because of the urgency of my situation here, I am Miee Damanik (21 years old ). The only daughter of late Mr. Jabed Damanik, who was a famous and wealthy groundnut oil exporter and dealer in the economic capital of Malaysia,

My father who died on the recent Malaysian missing airline, my mother died when I was 6 years and since then, my father took me so special. In 2009 my father called me and showed me all his property as his only daughter, he has a deposit of Six million, Three hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$6.300,000). Deposited in fixed / suspense account in one of the prime bank, he used my name as his only daughter for the next of kin but since the death of my father his brother that have lived in Italy as a drug trafficker came back and wanted all to himself, though he is not aware of this particular deposit and the document is here with me.

People in the neighborhood are always afraid of him and nobody wanted to talk to him on how he is handling the matter concerning my father's property, now I ran to another city called Kampong Kelantan, Perak, Malaysia am seeking my refuge here now and I know that he is making more efforts to find me.

Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Please I want you to help me provide a Good account where this Fund will be transferred to, in your country. After which I can join you in your country to complete my university education. Now permit me to ask these few questions

1. Can you honestly help me as your sister?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will
be good for you after the money is in your account?

Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible so that I will give you all the necessary information about the deposit and the transaction, I assure you that with your cooperation, we will get this fund transferred in less than 2 weeks, since everything about the fund is legal and will be handled legally.

Thank you so much and may God bless us.

Yours Sincerely,
Miee Damanik.
