"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 fake company names, fake addresses, non-existent institutions/documents or other details have appeared in scams before:
- "diplomatic immunity"
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "the consignment" (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)
- "trunk box" (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)
- "consignment " (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)
- "my direct telephone number" (a "direct line" in a scam usually means an untraceable mobile phone number used by a scammer in an internet cafe, a redirection service number that forwards to a mobile or a free voicemailbox in a different country.)
- "diplomatic immunity" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "barrister" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
- "aabis_mukarram@gmx.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
This email message is a next of kin scam.
Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.

Seasonal greetings to you.

Before I proceed, i must first apologize for this unsolicited letter to you. I am aware that this is certainly not a conventional way of approach to establish a relationship of trust, but you will realize the need for my action as you read on.

My Name Is Barrister Mr Aabis Azmi Mukarram of Azmi & Associate, Corporate/Financial Law, Intellectual Property Law, Litigation And Commercial Arbitration Law.

This proposal is in regards to my late client. Before her death she deposited a trunk box containing $ 6.7M (SIX MILLION AND SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS) in a Vault Company here in Asia as a trunk containing family valuables and did not disclose the content of consignment to the company.

The company has mandated me to present any family heir/inheritor for claim before the consignment gets confiscated or reverts to the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, as an unclaimed diplomatic immunity, So I decided to search for any of my late client's relative which has been very difficult for me, as she did not declare any other person or relatives in the official paper works of her deposit.

Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to my late client since you both share the same last name; with my position as her lawyer I will now appoint and recognize you as the heir. I will prepare every relevant document that will assist our claims, and facilitate the release of the consignment.

If this proposal does offend your moral values please pardon me, otherwise reply via my private email address: aabis_mukarram@gmx.com or call my direct telephone number +60126744534 for further clarification.

Please be kind to get back to me, even if you are not interested so that I can further my search for another partner.

Best Regards

Aabis Azmi Mukarram (Esq).
