"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.

Sir, I am from Texas in US, I am indeed a single mother my daughter is 7 years old, her name Daisy. I am a petroleum engineer with BP OIL, US government contracted me few years ago and I was posted from Mexico ocean to Iraq, this is my 2nd year here in Baghdad IRAQ. I am actually on diplomatic mission to IRAQ. My signature and reports play a vital role between USA and Iraqi government in the area of crude oil.
Some US diplomats and Iraqi oil minister Abdul Karim Luaibi with some top Iraqi government officials made some crude oil deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars and my role was needed to cover up the deal. I was given a total sum of $7.5 million us dollar the money was moved to United Arab Emirate through Diplomatic means.
This $7.5 million us dollar sealed and locked in a metal Box with codes known to me only was moved to UAE, we are not allowed by US government rules to engage in such deal, this is the reason I want you to partnership with me and stand to receive this money on my behalf in your home country. The company that moved the money to UAE will transfer the BOX to your desired destination.
Sir, I will offer to you a total sum of 15% of the total amount for receiving the Box and keep with you till my arrival to meet with you to discuss other possible business.
If you accept this proposal I will only needs the followings:-
(1)Your international passport copy or current driving license
(2)Your current address
(3)Name of the company you work
(4)Your position at work place
(5)Your private telephone number
As soon as I get all this information I will process a document and sent to you and I will send a copy to the company introducing you to the company as my only partner and to release the Box to you.

The whole process is simple and risk free but we must maintain low profile and obey rules of confidentiality.
