"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 us 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)
- ",000,000" (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 orphan 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: Please Help An Orphan In The Name of God

Hello how are you? I hope that you are fine.
My name is Aisha Majid and I have a very important business proposal for you. I am a 24 years old Sudan
refugee presently living at United Nations refugee camp in Phom Penh, Cambodia, South East Asia. My late
father was the former Director of finance Sudan Oil Mining Corporation.

Before my father died, he gave me copies of Deposit Agreement and Cash Receipt he made with Acleda
Bank Plc, Phom Pen, Cambodia. My father deposited the sum of USD $5,000,000 {Five Million US Dollars) in
his personal bank account with Acleda Bank of Cambodia.

My father told me to look for a trusted foreigner who can assist me to receive this money from Cambodia for
investment. Based on this, I want to present you to the bank as my late fathers foreign partner and friend
because the security company doesn't know who my late fathers foreign partner is and any foreigner can
claim this fund as far as i can give him all the documents my father gave me relating to this money.

Please note that this is not a joke or spam, but I am genuinely seeking your help and assistance to claim my
late fathers inheritance. Also, please note that this is 100% legal and risk free. For your assistance in this
transaction, I have decided to offer you 50% of the total amount at the end of this transaction, 50% for me
as well.

If you accept my proposal, kindly reply urgently and give me below information's so that i can forward it to
the bank for immediate transfer of the funds into your personal bank account.

Your Full Names
Your Direct Phone Number
Your Nationality
Your Age
Your Occupation

The security of this business is very important to me so I want you to please keep this business secret till we
finish. In other words, this deal is between you and me only.

Best Regards,
Miss Aisha Majid
