"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.
- +2347062768020 (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.

Hello Dear

I am Mrs Maryanne Jones I am a US citizen,58 years Old. I reside here
in Texas. My residential address is as follows.3215 Golden Willow
Kingwood TX.77439, 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$74,000 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.

However, I decided to travel with my Son to WASHINGTON D.C with all my
Compensation documents, And I was directed by the ( FBI) Director
JAMES BRIEN COMEY,

to Contact Mr.Mark Kelly, who is a representative of the (FBI) and a
Member of the COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, currently
in Nigeria. And I contacted him and he explained everything to me.
He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment
This was paid to me successfully. Right now I am the happiest woman
on earth because I have finally received my compensation funds of (
US$2.5Million) Hence, Mr.Mark Kelly, showed me the full Information of
Those that are yet to receive their compensation funds and I saw your name
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.Mark Kelly, You have to contact him
Directly on this information below to know if he can help you too.

COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE
Name: Mr.Mark Kelly
Email: mrmarkkelly20@gmail.com
Direct Phone Number: ( +234-7062768020

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.Mark Kelly was just $490 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.Mark Kelly 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 Maryanne Jones
