"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 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.
- +2348086134449 (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.

Subject: This Was How I Succeeded In Getting My Funds.

Hello,

I am Mrs. Glenda Reilly Banister I am a US citizen, 86 years Old I
reside here in Winchester, Virginia . My
residential address is as follows.
4050 Valley Pike, Winchester, VA 22602 , United States ,am thinking of
relocating since I am now Rich and comfortable with my family. I am
one of those that took part in the Compensation in Africa many years
ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over US$94,000 for the past
years while in the US , trying to get my payment all to no avail. And
they always stopped my funds with one reason or the order.

So I decided to visit WASHINGTON D.C with all my
compensation documents, And I was directed by the ( FBI) Director to
contact Mr. Nick Memphis, who is a representative of the ( FBI ) and
a member of the COMPENSATION AWARD AGENT, currently in Nigeria.
And I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever
is contacting us through emails on fund transfer are fake.

He directed me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment
which was paid to me successfully. Right now I am the most happiest
woman on earth because I have finally received my compensation funds
of ( US$2.5Million ) Moreover, Mr. Nick Memphis, showed me the full
information of those that are yet to receive their compensation funds
and I saw your name & email address as one of the scam victims and one
of the US$2.5Million beneficiaries, that is why I decided to email you to
know if you have received yours, and to advise you to stop dealing
with those people, they are not with your funds, they are only making
money out of you.

I will advise you to contact Mr. Nick Memphis You have to contact
him directly on this information below to know if he can help you too.

FBI COMPENSATION AWARD AGENT

Name: Mr. Nick Memphis

Email: fbi.nicmemphis@usa.com

Office Phone: +234-808-613-4449

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting
you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway
with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you
up until you have nothing left.

The only Money I paid after I met Mr. Nick Memphis was just $390 for
the Ownership Paper Works, Take note of that because that was only
money I paid.

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact
Mr. Nick Memphis so that he can help you to deliver your fund
instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around
asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Thank You and Be Blessed.

Mrs. Glenda Banister

4050 Valley Pike, Winchester, VA 22602 , United States ,
