"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:
- "hundred thousand united state 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)
- ",500,000" (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)
- "united state dollar" (this email uses bad English)
- "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)

Great News, You are advised to Stop Contacting Them. I am Mrs. Kathy Honeycutt; I am a US citizen, 69 years Old. I reside here in Lakeland USA. My residential address is as follows. 6811 Newman Circle East Lakeland, FL 33811, United States. I am thinking of relocating since I have been compensated. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation here in United States years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $45,000 while in the United States trying to get my payment all to no avail. I decided to travel down to New York with all my compensation documents and i was directed to meet Lawyer Lawrence Fubara who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake because the Inheritance/Compensation Law clearly states that the beneficiary/recipient is exempt from paying any out of pocket fees or charges to receive said funds. Lawyer Lawrence Fubara took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$5,500,000.00) Moreover, Lawyer Lawrence Fubara showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name and email address as one of the beneficiaries that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your funds, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Lawyer Lawrence Fubara You have to contact him directly on this information below. COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE NAME: Lawyer Lawrence Fubara EMAIL:barrlawrencefubara39@yahoo.com Call: +13479543333 You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your funds is with them, it is not in anyway with them and they are only taking advantage of you which means they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met Lawyer Lawrence Fubara was just $950 for the delivery and shipment charges, take note of that. NOTE: TELLING YOU TO PAY FOR ANY DELIVERY OR COURIER CHARGE IS ALL NOTHING BUT LIES, I REPEAT THE ONLY MONEY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY AND WHICH I ALSO PAID IS $950 FOR THE DELIVERY CHARGES AS IMPOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT ON YOUR PACKAGE. Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Lawyer Lawrence Fubara so that he can help you to deliver your funds instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction. Thank You and Remain Blessed. Mrs. Kathy Honeycutt.
