"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:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "00,000.00" (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 "New Partner from Paraguay" scam.
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 friend,

It is my pleasure to reach you after our unsuccessful attempt on our
business transaction.
I am obliged to inform you that I have succeeded in receiving the
funds with the help of a

new partner from Portugal Mr. Sanchez lvaro . Everything was perfectly
done because we

strike a deal with one of the Lady Accountant who works with the
Federal Ministry of

Finance (FMF), and she rendered a tremendous help to us.

In appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in receiving the
funds, I have decided to

compensate you with the sum of $800,000.00(Eight Hundred United States
Dollars) in a

International Swift ATM Card.
This is from my own share. I did this simply to show appreciation to
you for your kind

support and assistance even though we could not succeed due to some unforeseen

circumstances and reason.

In the light of the above, you are therefore, to contact Rev.Albert Aina,

Manager,E-Business & Card Service.Fidelity Bank Plc. and do send him your
contact address where you want the Swift ATM Card to be sent to you.
His e-mail address:( rev.albertaina51@yahoo.com )

With My Best Regards,

Iordane pkhakadze
