"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:
- "million united states 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)
- ",000,000" (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)
- "00,000.00" (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)
- "robert mugabe" (the name of a person or institution often appearing in 419 scams)
This email message is a next of kin scam.
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.

Subject: CINAH RESI

Good Day,

My name is CINAH RESI. I am an adopted son and only child of Late MR.EDWARD RESI, a white farmer in Zimbabwe. During the current war against white farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters of the president ROBERT MUGABE and other senior party members of the ZANU PF to claim all the white owned farms in Zimbabwe.

All the white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to his party members and his followers but my father who was one of the biggest tobacco farmers in Zimbabwe did not support this idea. Our farm was invaded one faithful Saturday afternoon. My father was killed and most part of the farm was burnt down. The invaders made away with lots of treasures in our farmhouse. I was lucky to have escaped with some of my fathers workers.

Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg, South Africa where he deposited the sum of US$21,000,000.00 (TWENTY ONE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) in a Private Security & finance company in the Republic of South Africa. The fund was meant for the purchase of farm machinery's and equipment before the land dispute arose in Zimbabwe. The funds were lodged in my fathers name and I stood in as the next of kin.

Due to the fact that I am an Asylum Seekers (REFUGEE) in the Republic of South Africa I'm not permitted by the law of the Republic of South Africa to some certain rights, such as operating bank accounts, investment and other monetary transaction, thus the reason I am soliciting your utmost assistance is to nominate you as my late father's foreign partner so that the fund will be released into your foreign designated account.

I am willing to offer you 30%, I will also need an assurance from you that after a successful transfer I will have full access to my 70%.

Do understand that this fund is for investment purpose in your country and you will be in charge of the management of such investments, as I will love to further my education. So if you consider this proposal and really wish to assist me please get back to me and we shall discuss further. Please, give me your response immediately by return mail through my

alternate email: (cinahresi01@gmail.com)

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Cinah Resi.
