"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:
- "million 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)
- "abidjan" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
- "god fearing " (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

My Beloved,I am Mrs. Jessica Butson, I am from Australia but I based in Cote d'ivoire. I am 64 years old. An aging widow suffering from long time illness. I am currently admitted in a private hospital here in Abidjan the capital city. My Doctor has confirmed that my sickness has gotten to a dangerous stage, that I might not survive the sickness.
Presently I am having serious pain in my lungs and chest due to the seriousness of my lung and heart cancer. From the way I am feeling right inside me, am becoming afraid based on the confirmation from my Doctor that i will not live for a long time now. For this reasons, I have decided to donate my money for charity.I have some big funds which i inherited from my loving husband late Mr. Jordan Butson, the sum of $15.4 Million Dollars, which he deposited in one of the big bank here in Abidjan, capital city of Cote d'ivoie and i need a very honest and God fearing one that can use this funds for god's work, to care for the needy, setting up charity homes and to look after orphans. I found your email address from the internet and decided to contact you.Please if you would be able to use these funds for the lord's work as mentioned above, kindly reply me as soon as possible for more details.Please always pray for me.Remain blessed.Mrs. Jessica Butson.
