"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:
- "million us 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)
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.
- +2348088607526 (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.

So I decided to travel to WASHINGTON D.C with all my compensation documents, And I was directed by
the ( F B I) Director to contact Agent Mary Elvis, who she a representative of the ( F B I ) and a member of
the COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE currently in Africa, and I contacted her and he explained
everything to me. she said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.

she took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the most happy
woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $2.5 Million Us Dollars.

Moreover Agent Mary Elvis, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments
and I saw your name and email as one of the scam victims, that is why I decided to email you to stop
dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise
you to contact Agent Mary Elvis.
