"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 friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "barrister" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.
- +2347067154312 (Nigeria, prepaid mobile phone)
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.

My Dear Friend

I am Mrs Kate Hogan, A US citizen, 57 years Old,who reside here in New Braunfels Texas. My residential address is as follows.108 Crockett Court. Apt 303, New Braunfels Texas, United States, I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me,

I am glad to send you this email to notify you concerning the fund which has been in the custody of the (NMF) NIGERIAN MINISTRY OF FINANCE for the past few months.

NOTE: I had paid over $5,000.00 USD while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail before I was directed to meet Barrister Justice Williams, who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails without this code (0060) from Federal Republic Of Nigeria are fake.

The only money I paid after I met Barrister Justice Williams was just $300 USD for the paper works, take note of that so that he can help you to Transfer your fund into your account, instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction

Well i don't have much to say than to advice you to contact him with your information so he can help you out too. Below is the Barrister Contact Address to get intouch with the Barrister.

Name: Barrister David Salim
Email: bar.davidsalim@gmail.com
Cell#: +2347067154312

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you please they are not in any way with your fund, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing.

So if really you want your compensated fund release to you, you then have to contact Barrister Justice Williams so that he will help you out as he did to me.

Thank You and Be Blessed.
Mrs Kate Hogan.
