"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.
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.

Subject: Dear,

Dear,

Sorry if I had disturbed you by contacting you through this media. It is the only media I see as better way to contact you.I believe that you will listen and accept my proposal to you.

I'm Ms. Rong Qi Yue the daughter of Ms. Yue Guiju who lost her life returning from her business trip to China from Malaysia in the Malaysia Airline MH370 in 8th of March 2014. May her soul rest in peace. My mum is not married and didn't bear any child but I was her adopted daughter.You can visit this site: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/names-faces-aboard-Malaysia-airlines-flight-370-article-1.1739217#ixzz2xoJHtq8s

Before her death, my mum was the current chairwoman of the investment committee of the steel manufacturing and trading group Delong Holdings Ltd. in Beijing, China.This position she enjoyed because of her quality administrative and management experience and also because of the good stake she had in the company. But unfortunately, she lost her life and left me behind.Besides her position as the chairwoman, she is engaged in different business around Asia countries.

After the news of her death, I was able discover some documents in our shelves involving some business which she did. Some were already completed and some were not. Among these is a huge lodgement of cash which she made with a security and deposit company in Asia here.

Because of my position as adopted daughter, all her close relatives gather to deprive me my family right as her daughter, claiming that I'm not legitimate daughter to her. But with help of my mother's lawyer, I'm still holding to my stand.

The reason I'm contacting you is to seek your help to bring out this money and transfer it to your account in your country so that you can invest it in any good investment on my behalf.

If you agree to this, please reply me with some good advice in the area to invest this fund.Reply to me at e-mail..msrongq@gmail.com.

Yours Sincerely,

Ms. Rong Qi Yue
