"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:
- "clearance certificate" (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. )
- "certificate fee" (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. )
- "demurrage " (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. )
- "security keeping fee" (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. )
- "clearance certificate" (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. )
- "are expected to pay " (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. )
- "hundred thousand united states 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)
- "00,000.00" (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)
- "dear beneficiary," (this SPAM email was probably sent to thousands of people)
- "courier service" (Courier companies mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. They will have you send money to them, but won't deliver anything. )
- "cheque " (Beware of any scheme that involves cashing checks or money orders and then wiring a portion of the funds somewhere - you'll be liable for the entire amount if the checks or money orders turn out to be fake, even after you have received and forwarded cash. If it's a lottery prize, remember that real lotteries do not pay large prizes by check. They wire the money directly to your bank account and you do not pay for that. Many scammers promise a large check only in order to then demand payment of courier fees for a fake courier service. )
This email message is a next of kin scam.
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.
- +2347053350805 (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 Beneficiary,

I am sure this mail would be coming to you as a surprise since we have never met before and you would also be

asking why I have decided to chose you amongst the numerous internet users in the world, precisely I cannot say why

I have chosen you but do not be worried for I saw your profile on the Internet, which has made me accomplish my

request. May the almighty God bless and see you through with this mission if you can carefully read and digest the

message below.

Before I move further, permit me to give you a little of my biography, I am Mother Emilly Olivier Jackman, 87 Years

old woman and the wife of Late Sir Jackman Olivier who died in a Plane crash on Monday the 7th of September 1998

GMT 14:22 UK while they were flying from New York to Geneva. Please see site below for more information.

http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/swissair.victims.list/index.html

After the death of my husband I became the Head of his investment and now that I am old and weak I have decided to

spend the rest of my life with my family and loved ones whom I never had time for during the course of my business

life, but before the death of my husband we had a plan to use the last days of our lives to donate half of what we

have worked for to the less privilege and charity homes and the other half for ourselves, family members and close

friends, and it is so unfortunate that my husband is not alive today to do this with me and I am very weak and old

now, hence I have decided to do this philanthropic work on behalf of my late husband and I.

Presently, I have willed out almost half of our assets to several charity homes and to some of the less privilege

in different countries. Despite the agreement between my late husband and I to give aid to the deprived, we also

agreed to render support to an individual we have not meet before in life due to the fact when we were still young

in life we receive an anonymous help from an individual we did not know and which we have not being able to know

till date, the impact we got from such gesture made us to do same.

I am sorry to inform you that you will never have the chance to know me because I have just concluded the

assignment which my husband and I have agreed upon before his sudden death and you happened to be the beneficiary

of our last WILL, irrespective of your previous financial status, hence I need you to do me a favor by accepting

our offer that will cost you nothing.

I have presently deposited a Cheque in the sum of $5,800,000.00 United States Dollars with DHL express to deliver

to you, what you have to do now is to contact the DHL COURIER SERVICE as soon as possible to know when they will

deliver your package to you because of the expiring date.

I only made the deposit with your EMAIL ADDRESS and SECURITY KEEPING CODE (SCT/0433/F) because I do not know your

name and the address you would want to receive the parcel with. I couldn't find them on net while browsing your

profile if not I would have given it to DHL for immediate and fast delivery of this parcel to you.

For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance Premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the

cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country.

You have to contact the DHL COURIER SERVICE, NIGERIA now for the delivery of the cheque with this information

bellow;

CONTACT PERSON: Rev Felix Amadi

Contact Email Addreess:( revfelixamadi@gmail.com )

Phone Number::+234-70533508057

Again, you are not to pay for the delivering Charge, the Insurance premium and the Clearance Certificate Fee of the

Cheque because I have already paid for them, the only money you are expected to pay is $170 United States Dollars

for the security keeping of the cheque so far.

I would have paid the fee but the company insisted that I should not because they don't know when you will be

contacting them and to avoid demurrage or further cost.

You are to reconfirm the below information to them to avoid any mistake on the Delivery.

Full Names:

Postal address;

Direct telephone number

Below is the security keeping code: (SCT/0433/F) of the draft, you are to also present it to them for verification

before delivery.

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember

to ask them to provide you with the method they wish to use in receiving their security keeping fee of $170 United

States Dollars for their immediate action.

Note: Please I do not want you to thank me or my husband all I need you to do is, When you get this fund, use ONLY

800.000.00 (Eight hundred thousand United States Dollars) for your effort and USE THE REST OF THIS FUND FOR CHARITY

PORPOSE IN THE WAY IT WILL PLEASE HUMANITY.

Yours Faithfully

Mrs.Emilly Olivier Jackman
