"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:
- "dear beloved," (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "hundred thousand u.s 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)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

I want you to use this money to help the orphanages, widows and charities homes around you in your country. I inherited this money from my late husband. Due to my illness of cancer/Stroke, my doctor confirmed to me that I will not last long only some months to live, so it is my desire to see that this money is invested to any organization of your choice and distributed to charity organizations, motherless babies home, schools and support men and women homeless.

I do not need a telephone communication because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always and I do in this regard because of my health hence not want them to know about this development. As soon as I get an answer from you, I will give you all the details of my Fidelity Reliance bank in London for immediate transfer of the fund to you.

I do not want this money to be use diabolically. As soon as I receive your response confirming your acceptance to work as I tell you, I will give all relevant information's you need to authorize the release and transfer the money to you as my duly appointed representative. Always pray for me.
