"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.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
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.

My dear friend,
Thanks for honoring my mail. I am Shirley Arias Kemp from United
States of America, a 35years old soldier, presently living in Syria for my
duties, I'm working as officer commander under the auspices of United
Nations surveillance team in Syria. My birthday is 10th February. Iâ€™m
seriously in search of a man I can trust, a man that will love me the way I
am, believe in me, a reliable man and a soul mate I can spend the rest of
my life with. Iâ€™m divorced cause of a bad attitude of a bad man which Iâ€™m
not ready to share with you till we know each other better. However, I have
got a 7years old daughter, she is staying with her Nanny for the past seven
months, I canâ€™t say Iâ€™m a bad mother; but itâ€™s cause of my job nature,
which Iâ€™m ready to give up and face my family soon.
I'm a very decent woman and I do have regards and respect for men, caring,
loving, honest understanding, Sincere, Energetic, Kind, Trustworthy,
Faithful, Family oriented, Emotional, Romantic, Sexy and Godly. I'm looking
forward to meet a man who is loving, caring, honest, sincere, down to
earth, kind and faithful, a Godly man who is serious about relationship,
but must be business orientated as i need assistance and partnership on
investment purposes
I'm also here to find a business oriented person who can be a friend,
partner or assistant as i have been in the military and know nothing or
less about business investment as i wanna resign and relocate. So if we
can't be life partners, we can be friends and business partners. I wanna
relocate to your country and invest my hard earned money, then start a new
life with my daughter Melisa.
I attached my pictures for you. I need to see your pictures also tell me
more about you, and always know that I am ready to build a family and to
relocate to be with my dream Husband.
Please do get back to me as soon as possible.
Note, I am closing my profile in the site once I find my dream man or a
partner or assistant on investment purposes.

Yours sincerely
