"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.

Â Dear Respected One.

Firstly, I apologize for sending you this sensitive information via e-mail instead of a
Certified mail/Post-mail. This is due to the urgency and importance of the information. This project is based on trust, confidentiality and sincerity of purpose in order to have an acceptable meeting of the minds.

I am ISSA Luckman , the general senior auditor; under the Federal; Ministry of Budget and Planning and auditor representing some banks. After this yearâ€™s audit in a bank here, there were some irregularities, then I was invited concerning an unclaimed fund, which has neither probate certificate nor clear profile, so I have made auditing research to seeing that this fund has no edited probate certificate to prove its next of kin, and the owner has been confirmed dead. I discover this information from the old hard-disk of the bankâ€™s computer, so I have promised the bank that I will get the next of kin, as I am still making research from the documents of the bankâ€™s computer.

I made this promised because I have the intention to search for a partner who can bring his information, which I will fill in the hard-disk of the computer and pass it to the bank, so that the bank, will contact the person to come and claim the fund of his late associate. It is the bank that will contact you as soon as your profile will be seen in the bank, to come claim your associates remaining fund.

However, before further details of this laudable transaction will be revealed to you. I must be convinced of your integrity, transparency and honest, so I will require from the following details:-

(1) Your name in full.
(2) Your full residential address.
(3) Your occupation.
(4) Your City.
(5) Your Country of origin.
(6) Your Mobile phone.
(7) Your age.
(8) Your marital status.

This is highly, business transaction that requires someone with experience, exposure and more than average means of livelihood. Please treat this transaction as strictly confidential. Please if you are interested, reply me to (issa.luckman1@gmail.com) and I will give you more information; the amount involved, the name and contact of the bank, and we will negotiate the ratio of sharing the fund.

Sincerely,
ISSA Luckman ( +22677709123 )
