"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.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- ",500,000" (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)
- "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)
- "nelsonmisali.unitednations@yandex.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
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.

Attn: My Dear,

I am Christian Williams, I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside in North Carolina 28203. My residential address is as follows; 1225 South Caldwell Street, Apt. 456, Charlotte, United States. I'm thinking of relocating since I'm now rich. I am one of those who took part in the scam victim Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me. I had paid over US$28,000 while in the US, trying to get my fund all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to SOUTH AFRICA with all my compensation documents. I was directed to meet Dr. Nelson Misali, who is the member of UNITED NATIONS SCAM VICTIMS COMPENSATION FUND RELEASE DEPARTMENT. I finally contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake. He took me to the paying bank where my fund is being deposited so that I can claim my fund.

Right now I am very happy because I have received my compensation funds of $5,500,000.00 UNITED STATES DOLLARS from the UNITED NATIONS.

Moreover, Dr. Nelson Misali showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments from the United Nations scam victim compensation and I saw you among the beneficiaries in his file and your email address and those that are yet to recieve their compensation fund from the United Nations, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people in Nigeria, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Dr. Nelson Misali.

You have to contact him directly on this information below.

UNITED NATIONS SCAM VICTIMS COMPENSATION FUND RELEASE DEPARTMENT:

Name : Dr. Nelson Misali
Email: nelsonmisali.unitednations@yandex.com
TelePhone: +27 842 822 525

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them. They are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing. Make sure you send him your details.

You can also fill your information below:

Full Name:
Country:
address:
Phone Number:

The only money I paid after I met Dr. Nelson Misali was just $580.00 USD for my paper works, take note of that Once again stop contacting those people. I will advise you to contact Dr. Nelson Misali so that he can help you to claim your fund instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Thank You and Be Blessed.

Christian Williams.
