"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 british pounds" (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.
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.

Dear God Sent,

I will apologies for my intrusion of your privacy since we haven't meet physically before actually I am Reverend Victoria Natalia. I am 71yrs presently, suffering from long time Ear cancer. I was born here orphan, loved to serve needy once with faith and my ability from God.

I have lived with the memories, histories,love to live normal life but all to no avail. I spent allot of time suffered psychologically and mentally and shortly was diagnosed of Pancreatic Cancer according to physicians. I lived with faith from God praying earnestly for God intervention, till it came to pass this morning doctor informed me that I have some months to live I was not surprised, believing the news in good faith because I already notice my condition not improving rather get worse every minute of the day.

After the death of Mr. Tracy Obado who was a good man,hard working and faithful to me, whom i planned to inherits all my wealth, felt so disappointed death took him unaware. With this little challenge, i decided to use my saved funds to contribute to Charity Organizations,Less-privileged ,Widows ,Motherless and Sick people for development of the churches in the WORLD.

I choose you after several prayers through internet, I am willing to donate the sum of {£4,000.000.00 } FOUR Million British Pounds Sterling to you for above stated purpose, 35% of this fund shall go for you and family & remaining 75% is for work of God for Charity use in your Country.

In your return mail i want you to send me Your Real Names...Home/Office Address…..Age.....Religion....Phone and a photo of you so i could know who i'm dealing with and if your faith could not bear my proposal then ask God for help. Once I receive your response, I shall inform you on how this Charity funds come to you in a successful process but all I need from you is Honesty,Truthfulness and Sincerity assuring me that you will in all honesty and obedience utilize this Charity funds as I instructs you. In any a case, your response from you will be highly appreciated as I'am already asking God to take me because of my present date.
My reasons because I realized that wealth acquisition without CHRIST is Vanity upon Vanity.
I Pray May God Almighty give more Grace power to carry HIS work and the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you,your family and Church Parish in Jesus Name Amen.

yours in Thy Lord,
