"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.
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.

Bonjour Tres Cher(e),

De nos jours les messages du net n'estiment plus la confiance et beaucoup de

gens négligent cela et perd parfois des opportunités.

Mais avant d'ignorer mon message veuillez prendre la peine de vérifier mes

informations.

Je me nomme Mme ROSE BELOTTI , et mon oncologue vient de me diagnostiquer un

cancer métastatique en phase terminale. Le diagnostic est clair et je vais

mourir d'ici là,

il m'a été conseillé par le père de mon église après confession de faire une

charité avec une partie de mes fonds .

Je dispose un compte d'un montant 715 000 € (Sept cents quinze mille euro) auprès

d'une banque en république du Benin . Je suis une grande admiratrise d'art et de créativité surtout dans le

domaine de l'artisanat pour un projet de construction. Je serai gré à vous confier cet argent

pour que mon projet de donation aboutisse.

Je vous pris d'accepter cela, car c'est un don venant d'une femme

mourante et cela sans rien demander en retour.

Contactez-mon avocat le Maitre ALABI svp sur son e-mail : contactmaitrealabijoel@yahoo.fr .

NB : IL vous aidera à travers les papier juridique et aupres de la banque pour

que les fonds soit sur votre compte .

Mme ROSE BELOTTI
