"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.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "necessary legal documents" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "huge deposit" (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)
- "million 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)
- "time is running out" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
This email message is a next of kin 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.

Subject: How aare you?

Hello Friend,
I am a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Ahmed
Al-Sayed Al-Husain a national of Indonesia, who used to work with Gold
Fields Ghana Ltd. Hereinafter, shall be referred to as my client.
On the November 2003, my client, his wife Mrs. Safa Al-Satrawi
Al-Husain and their three children were involved
in a flood and landslides disaster in Bahorok, North Sumatra,
Indonesia. Almost half of the community unfortunately lost their
lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to my client embassy
to locate any of his extended relatives but all to no avail. After
these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name
over the catalog, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted
you.I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were
lodged. Particularly, the CAL BANK, SPINTEX ROAD BRANCH, ACCRA-GHANA
where the deceased had an account valued at about USD$18.2 million
dollars.

The bank has issued me a notice to provide the NEXT OF KIN or the
account will be confiscated within the next
twenty-one (21) official working days.Since I have been unsuccessful
in locating the relatives for over five (5) years now, I seek your
consent to present you as the NEXT OF KIN to the deceased because I
can validate you as the real NEXT OF KIN, in that case the proceeds of
this account valued at USD18.2 million dollars will be paid to you and
then you and me can share the money as follows 40% to me and 30% to
you and while the outstanding 30% shall be set aside to support
schools, institutions and rebuilding of the disaster sites in
Indonesia.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable
us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate

arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please
get in touch with me through my email or phone and send to me your
confidential information such as listed below so that we can discuss
further about this
transaction. Time is running out.
