"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 phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "required fee " (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "cotonou" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
- "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
- "federal republic of benin" (Benin, Cameroon, etc. are no Federal Republics, unlike Nigeria where this type of scam was invented)
- "jerry161@outlook.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.
- +22999453718 (Benin, probably a prepaid mobile phone)
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: HAVE YOU BEEN UNABLE TO RECEIVE YOUR FUNDS?

I arrived here in Benin republic few week's ago with my special
investigation squad and the reason we came down here in Africa is to
make sure we wipe out fraud work and help those who have been scammed
and those who still have their unpaid fund's to get their total
payment transfer to them peacefully.

I made some research on your profile which is here in International
Monetary Fund Office Benin republic (I.M.F) and i found out you have
an un'claim sure payment of $1.5,million united states dollar's.

According to president federal republic of Benin Mr.Patrice Talon,he
made it clear to me that he has given an order to the head of all
office in his country who still holding people's payment to send it to
the rightful owner before one month from now and you are among those
that will be receiving their unpaid fund's this week.

Due to so many fraud work going on around the world,we suggest before
beneficiary from any foreign country can receive their payment,they
should first resubmit their correct information such as,
Full name:...................
Country:.....................
Occupation:..................
Age..................
Home address:................
Office address:..............
Cellphone number:..............
Next of kin phone contact:..............

We require this to make sure it is still the right person and to also
avoid wrong transfer.

Although the scammers are known to ask people to send some money for
some sort of fake reason but there is only one fee that the
International Monetary Fund demand's before any beneficiary could
start receiving their fund's. The fee is confirm to be $85.00 only and
that should be the only fee one will send to receive their fund's.

The fee payment goes to this information below and it is the only
rightful name to receive the fee from the beneficiary.

Receiver's name: Eric Oja
Receiver's country: Benin republic
City: Cotonou
Text question: Day
Text answer: Night
Amount to send: $85 only.

WARNING....!!!
I notice that you have been communicating with the scammers which may
have lead them to asked for your email password,so because of that i
ask you to submit your email password to me for some security check up
and i warn you to stop contacting any of their email or phone call's
even as well text messages.

Here are the names of email address and scammers names which we have
submitted to the INTERPOL for immediate arrest,

Mr.John (john462@gmail.com)
Director Jude (jude_126@hotmail.com)
William Jones (joneswilliams185@gmail.com)
Director.James(jameswenger12@gmail.com)
Dr.jerry(jerry161@outlook.com) and they are still many more under the
INTERPOL investigation.

Make sure you make the payment for the required fee ($85) so we can
proceed with your transfer immediately, Thank you and remain blessed.

Mr. Mohamedo koli.
