"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.
This email message is a "Yukos oil" scam. The criminals who send such emails have no connection to Yukos Oil. The emails are usually sent from Nigeria. The only money that ever changes hands in this scam is from you to the criminals.

I am Hina Dieter Plaumann and I represent Mr. Mikhail Khordokovsky,
the former C.E.O of Yukos Oil Company in Russia. I have a very
sensitive and confidential brief from this top oligarch to ask for
your partnership in re-profiling funds over US$100 million strictly
for the purchase of choice properties in your country.

I will give you the details later, but in summary, the funds are
coming via Bank Menatep through Santander bank, London. This is a
legitimate transaction. You will be paid 4% as "management fees" and
for your assistance.

If you are interested, please write back via this email address and
provide me with your direct telephone number, fax number and email
address and I will provide further details and instructions.

Please keep this information to yourself as we can't afford more
political problems at this time. Finally, please note that this must
be concluded within 30-60 days. Write back promptly. I look forward
to it.

Regards.
Hina Dieter Plaumann (Mrs).
