"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:
- "you are required to pay " (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. )
- "million 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)
- "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)
- "un.mrs.ingabritt@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.

WE HAVE MET WITH THE NIGERIA CENTRAL BANK GOVERNOR WHO CLAIMED IGNORANT OF THE DELAY IN RELEASING FOREIGN BENEFICIARIES FUNDS, BUT PROMISED TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL FUNDS BENEFICIARIES RECEIVE THEIR FUNDS WITHIN THE NEXT 144HRS FROM TODAY AND DURING OUR RECONCILIATION REVIEW IN AFRICA, ALL UNPAID PAYMENTS FILES BELONGING TO YOU AND OTHER FOREIGN BENEFICIARIES WAS TRACED AND APPROVED SUCCESSFULLY.

IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE COST OF YOUR ATM CARD COURIER FEE AS STIPULATED BY THE AUDITORS, THIS IS BECAUSE YOUR $10.500,000.00 MILLION DOLLARS PROGRAMMED IN THE ATM CARD IS LABELED AS A "NON FRAGMENTED BOND" AND IS PROTECTED BY A HARDCOVER BOND POLICY BY THE AUDITORS WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DEDUCT THE DELIVERY FEE FROM THE APPROVED FUND.

FURTHERMORE, THE AUDITORS DECLINED REVERSE DELIVERY PAYMENT, (NO MORE C.O.D FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS) THAT IF A REVERSE DELIVERY PAYMENT IS MADE AND SOMETHING GOES WRONG, THAT WE/YOU CANNOT SUE THE DELIVERY COMPANY TO RECOVER THE FULL VALUE OF THE FUND AS STIPULATED IN THE ATM CARD SINCE PAYMENT FOR DELIVERY WAS NOT MADE AT POINT OF MAILING, SO FOR THIS REASONS, WE HAD COME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE AUDITORS THAT YOU SHALL BE THE ONE TO TAKE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DELIVERY FEE OF YOUR $10.500,000.00 MILLION DOLLARS ATM CARD TO YOUR ADDRESS AS REVERSE PAYMENT IS RULED OUT.

BASED ON THE ABOVE REASONS, WE HAVE CONCLUDED THE DELIVERY ARRANGEMENT WITH GARIK DELIVERY AGENT AND YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PAY THE SUM OF $125 ONLY FOR YOUR ATM CARD COST OF DELIVERING TO YOUR LOCATION ADDRESS WITHIN (24HRS DELIVERY).
