"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:
- "foreign payment department" (Banks mentioned in 419 scams are always fake (real banks don't communicate using mobile phones or free webmail addresses))
This email message is a next of kin scam.

Re: Claim of My Partner Investment Company Fund Account / Deposit Number : 526J26548

I am the Remittance Director of SNS Bank Co-operation London Branch.There is an account opened in this bank in 2005 and after our final quarter auditing at SNS on 9th December 2014, I discovered that the Account owner is dead and when I investigated deeply by contacting the assigned next of kin I also found out that the next of kin to this account was an Indonesian who lived in London for over 23 years and nobody has operated on this account again after 2005.

I took the courage to look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable for this important transaction. In order to transfer out the sum of Twenty five million U.S Dollars. After going through some old files, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently,it will be forfeited for nothing and the SNS Bank of Scotland management might divert the funds for their personal use.

Please respond immediately I will use my position and influence to effect the legal approval and onward transfer of this fund into your account with appropriate clearance from foreign payment department. You will stand to get 40% while 60% will be for me. Kindly quote the reference (acct) numbers above when responding to this mail.

I will fill you in with further details upon your reply.

Sincerely yours,

Dr.Jerry Solomon
