"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:
- "a security company " (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. )
- "the consignment" (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)
- "consignment " (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)
- "hundred thousand us 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)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

BARCELONA, 05.11.2016

Rda. Gral. Mitre, 202. 08006,

BARCELONA,

Ref: AS/89T7/19

I am aware that this is not a conventional way to establish a relationship of trust, and I apologize for this unsolicited letter to you but, as you read you will realize the need for my action.

My name is Auguet Sangra, a lawyer based Barcelona, Spain. I got your contact information while searching public records for someone with a surname similar to my late client, Mr. David, an expatriate engineer who worked with a Mining and Smelting Company in Zimbabwe before he migrated to Spain due to political instability. He died with his wife and family in Myanmar in the cyclone Nargis disaster of May, 2008.

Prior to his death, he deposited a consignment containing the sum of $5,800,000 Million (Five Million, Eight Hundred Thousand US Dollars) with a security company here in Spain. For security reasons, he did not disclose the contents of the consignment to the Security Company. The Security Company has now mandated me to present a family member, heir and beneficiary to make a claim on the consignment before it is confiscated by the Spanish government Agency. Unfortunately, my late client has no relative being the only child of his late parents.

Against this backdrop and since you both shares the same surname, my proposal to you is that I will like you, as a foreigner, to stand as the next of â€œkinâ€ to Mr. David so that this consignment can be released to you. With my position as his lawyer, and having been in contact with the office of probate, I can place your name as the next of â€œkinâ€ of my late client which application will be supported with relevant documents that will assist your claim, and facilitate the release of this consignment.

I assure you that this transaction is 100% risks free, and as well as, guarantee that it will be executed under strict legitimate arrangements without breaching any laws. Note that everything has been worked out carefully to enable the successful completion this transaction. Once the deposit is successfully processed and released to you, I suggest a share ratio of 50% for you and 50% for me.

Please reply to my private Email address: auguetsangra@gmail.com, or you can leave a private number where I can reach you.

Please reply even if you are not interested so that I can further my search for another partner.

Kind regards,

D. Auguet Sangra
