"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:
- "will come to you as a surprise" (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 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.

Attention My Dear,

I was convinced as to solicit for your support and assistance after reading
your profile. I knew quite well that we have not met for the first time, but
business of the nature is all about trust, honest and understand. So I require
all these from both parties. I wish to inform you, if you can do me a favour to
transfer this very money in your account for onward investment for partnership
for both of us, and my dream is to go into partnership with you in your
country as soon as you have the funds in your custody. However I have made
proper search in Organizational Development Consultant, Mrs. Lynne
Bezuidenhout by going through some old files in the records.

I discovered that if I do not remit this money out immediately it would be
forfeited for no reason.

I am contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a
local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the
money is in United States Dollars and the Sudanese Late Vice President Dr.
John Garang DeMabior the former rebel leader who died when the helicopter he
was travelling in crashed was a foreigner too. I know that this message will
come to you as a surprise, but never mind I have giving my words, and my words
are my bone.

You can view the web site bellow for more information on our late client.
http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?article10893. I want you to know the
gimmick in this transaction. Meanwhile all the arrangements how to transfer
this fund have been concluded, once again I will reach an agreement with you
for the self-keeping of the fund and for the investment and percentage which
you will accept from me for the total fund transfer.
Please call me on my direct number: +27739189307 as soon as receive this email
Waiting for your cooperation

Best regards,
Dr. Peter Kaka
