"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 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.

May God bless you as you read this message.
Receiving this message might sound to you as a surprise. I want you to
know that it is God that made it possible. I seek your great assistance
to realize a project for the benefit of the poor orphans, which I cannot
realize as a result of my health. Each day that passes by, I felt no
improvement in my health as I do not know whether I will survive having
undergone several surgical operations as I have suffered a lot as a
result of this incurable sickness (terminal cancer). Right now, life
gives me no choice, but to answer the call (death); my prayers each day
is to have a place in Heaven.
The only help I need from you at this point is to be in constant prayers
with me. I would be so much happy to see that my funds are properly used
to help the poor orphans and less privileged etc before leaving this
world as this will be a great relief for my soul. This is a huge
responsibility to handle, but I do pray that God will be give you
strength to handle it; hence I am giving you these sum (â‚¬6,100,000) Six
million, one hundred thousand Euros with the sole and unique interest of
helping the most less privileged. You will also be highly compensated.
If you are willing and have an open heart towards the poor orphans, as
soon as I receive your reply I will send the documents/details of the
transaction and guide you through the process.
Suzanne Michelle Bright.
