"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 united states 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 business is hitch free " (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
This email message is a next of kin scam.
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.
- +447087696397 (UK, redirects to a mobile phone in another country)
- +448435642416
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.

Attention: Sir/Madam,

My name is Mr. Daniel peter, The Manager, Credit and Foreign bills of Barclay's Bank London Pl c. I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of our bank with account number 14-255-114 whose
name is Late Mr. Chan Ryan, an Singapore by citizen who perished in a plane crash of Singapore Airlines Flight 006 (SQ006) was a scheduled passenger flight from Singapore Changi Airport to Los Angel's International Airport via Chiang Kai-shek Airport (now Taiwan Taoyuan including his wife and only daughter. You shall read more about the crash on visiting this site, which I got during my investigation.

Since the demise of this our customer, I personally has watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of US$ 6.M (Six Million United
States Dollars), which has been with our branch for a very long time. On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the Next of Kin as no one has come up to be the next of kin. And the banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than Ten Years, because the money will be recalled to the bank treasury as unclaimed fund after this period.
In view of this I got your contact through a trade journal when I was making a research on a foreigner I will use in this great opportunity. For your assistant I will give you 30% of the total amount then 10% have been mapped out to donate to the motherless baby home, while the remaining 60% will be for my partner and me. Upon the receipt of your response, I will send you by fax or e-mail the letter of application, which you will type, sign and send back to our bank to enable us start this transaction. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for the smooth and easy transfer of this fund has been finalized, this transaction will be completed within five banking days of receiving your response, after you apply to the bank as a relation to the deceased.
When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your decision for quick communication on my personal email conclusively, your contacts are very essential to facilitate communication, so endeavor to enclose your Telephone, Mobile and fax numbers. Further
discussion/elaboration will commence as soon as I hear or read from you. But do not forget the
absolute confidentiality and mutual trust required in this transaction.
Kindly contact me on the above-specified channels of contact.
Thanks and God Bless You.
Yours Truly,
Mr. Daniel peter
Manager Credit and Foreign Bills
