"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:
- "western union" (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. )
- "inheritance funds" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- ",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)
- "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
Western Union money transfer is completely untraceable and therefore is *not* safe to use with anyone you do not know personally. It is the preferred method of online criminals to collect money from their victims.
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.

GOOD DAY.

I am Ms. Tammy Dunlap, a US citizen, Am 44 years old. I am one of those people that took part in

receiving Inheritance funds and Lottery funds from European banks even from many lottery

organizers few years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid different fees while in the

United States trying to get my funds from those banks and lottery organizers but all to no

avail. So I decided to travel to LONDON, UK with all my compensation documents, and I was

directed by the IMF Director to contact the re conciliator Mr Dickson Albert who is also an

attorney, A London citizen and a member of the UNITED NATIONS & IMF COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE

currently working with IMF in the United Kingdom, I contacted him and he explained everything to

me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake. Mr Dickson Albert personally

directed me on how to claim my Inheritance or Lottery payment.

Right now I have received my compensation funds of $6,500,000.00(six million five hundred

thousand dollars) Moreover Mr Dickson Albert, showed me the full information of those that are

yet to receive their Inheritance or Lottery payment and I saw your name as one of the

beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with

those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you.

I will personally advise you to contact Mr Dickson Albert, he will assist you as he is a very

religious man with the fear of God.
