"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:
- "dear beloved," (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- ",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)
- "% will be for you" (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 of america" (this email uses bad English)

I am all alone in this situation as My husband Mr Mohamed Hanadi Fenyang died in a air crash on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline Boeing 990 and my only daughter died in the London BOMB ATTACK.

I have suffered allot of pains in this sickness and so much loneliness here, so funny world that after all i inherited from my husband, i still cannot buy a good health. and i wish and pray that you will never suffer or experience this situation In Jesus name. as i am about to die all i want now is that my inherited money be used in charity work for humanitarian service to help cancer patient and the poor and needy all over the world..

My late husband was a very wealthy oil merchant and after his death, i inherited the sum of $118,000,000.00 (One Hundred and Eighteen Million United State Of American Dollars) which i have managed all these while before i became sick and diagnose to die soon. This $118,000,000.00 is deposit with a security bank in London.

I am contacting you with regard to my last wish on charity work for humanitarian service, i want 40% of the fund used to open a foundation for cancer in my name, 35% for motherless babies less privilege and homeless in EUROPE,AMERICA, ASIA AND AFRICA and 25% will be for you because of your help and any other process you might undergo in caring out my wish.

Please i seek your utmost trust to help me accomplish this wish on charity work for humanitarian service, please if you know that you will no do as i have wished and stated above, do not reply me for God sake and remember GOD is watching us. and he will judge all men. every thing on earth is vanity upon vanity, what matters is how much people we can help while on earth. i need your help on this project.
