"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 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.

House, 130 Tonbridge Road Hildenborough Tonbridge, Kent TN11 9DZ, London.
Urgent Business Proposal I am IAN
MCGUINNESS. THE Fund Manager of Fidelity Investment International. The
World Largest Fund Management Company with over 1.2Trillion Capital
Investment Fund and over 900 thousand investors all over the world.
Nevertheless, as The Fidelity Fund Manager, I handle all our Investor's
Direct Capital Funds (financial funds). As a routine, every investor
gets the percentage profit or dividend from the total cash he or she
invested into the company annually. Last year it was announced that the
profit margin was 20% after calculating carefully I found out that the
profit margin was 21.1% that is an excess of 1.2% on each investor so I
secretly extracted 1.2% Excess Maximum Return Capital Profit (EMRCP) per
annum on each of the Investor's Marginal Capital Fund and created a
separate account where the total sum of the extraction was kept as an
expert, the account has a value of 28,745,000.00 (Pounds) Now, I am
looking for someone who I can trust to stand as an Investor to receive the
fund as Annual Investment Proceeds from Fidelity Marginal Capital Fund.
All confirmable and legal documents to back up the claims will be made
available to you as soon as possible. Meanwhile, I have worked out the
modalities and technicalities whereby the funds can be claimed in any of
our 6 Clearing Houses without any hitches.Our sharing ratio will be 60-40.
If you are interested, get back to me through email so that I will provide
you more information about the transaction or you provide me with phone
number to reach you for more details. *
