"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.
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: BUSINESS PROPOSAL FROM CHRISTIANA PAUL

Hello Dear.

I am Mrs.Christiana Paul, the personal accountant to Ronald Lake
and Joyce Lake who used to work with Frank Howard Allen Realtors.
On the 31st of January 2000, my client and his wife were involved
in a Plane Crash (Alaska Airlines Flight 261) all passengers
unfortunately lost their lives, since then I have made several
enquiries to locate any of my client?s extended relatives but
this proved unsuccessful.

After all these several unsuccessful attempts, since it's not
compulsory that the next-of-kin must be a blood relation to the
deceased, hence I contacted you because you are from the same
country with my late client, Be informed that a next-of-kin can
be anybody, friends or organization.

Presently,the Bank where the deceased (my client) had a Deposit
valued at US$74,980,000.00 Million issued me a notice to provide
the next-of-kin to my client to receive its benefit or have the
account confiscated, so I have contacted you to assist me in
repatriating this benefit left behind by my client before they
get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank.

To this effect, I now seek your consent to present you to the
Bank as the next of kin of the deceased (my Client) so that the
proceeds of this Deposit valued at US$74,980,000.00 Million can
be paid to you and then you and I can share the money; 70% to me
and 25% to you, while 5% will be used in settling any incurred
expenses on both sides.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me via my private Email:
(christianapaul84@yahoo.com) below is the details immediately
you acknowledge the good receipt of this message.

Your prompt response is highly imperative.

Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Christiana Paul
