"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:
- "hundred thousand united state 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)
- "united state dollar" (this email uses bad English)
- "abidjan" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
- "god fearing " (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

Hello Dear.

With your permission. I want to present to you my sincere initiatives and proposals In the spirit of faith, solidarity, humanity and common sense appeal to your wisdom and kindness as a human of this planet with the request friendship sustains me if you consider setting up a foundation for humanitarian work with 10.5 million American United States dollars inherited from my late husband.

I am Mrs.(Mary Grace Danilo). I was born in Philippine. married to late (Hon, Mr.Danilo Rizal) former Philippians Ambassador to Cote D$B!G(Bivoire. We were married for about 37 years without a child which my husband died after a Cardiac Arteries Operation.

I decided to donate these funds because I have no child and my days are numbered according to my physician who always examines my health condition because I was diagnosed by cancer. I want you to use these funds nationally and internationally to people without hope against which we must not be careless.

Recently, My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next six months due to my latest cancer condition problem.

There is this sum ($10.500.000.00) Ten Million five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars that he deposited with a local bank here In Abidjan-Cote D$B!F(Bivoire. Presently this money is still in the bank. Having known my recent condition I have decided to donate this fund to any good God fearing brother/sister that will utilize this fund. I want somebody that will use this fund according to the desire of my late husband to help less privileged people, orphanages, widows and propagating the word of God since l hard no child,

I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this fund and I don't want in a way where this money will be used wrongly. This is why I am taking this decision to hand you over this Fund. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I want you to always remember me in your daily prayers because of my upcoming Cancer Surgery. Please reply back as soon as possible because any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this purpose,

Expecting your acceptance reply..

Best wishes
Mary Grace Danilo.
