"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 u.s 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.
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.

Dearly Beloved Friend,

I was shocked you stopped communicating with me, I really can't understand your reason for doing so, but I am very happy now to inform you about my success in getting the fund out of the bank with the help of a staff working in the remittance office and also with the special assistance of a French business woman that catered for other logistics.

However, I left the sum of $800,000 (Eight Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars Only) in an ATM cash withdrawal Card. This $800,000 is for you, and it is purposely for your compensation for your little effort in this transaction. The ATM Card is a global payment card which is acceptable, workable and usable worldwide in making daily withdrawal of money from any ATM location. So you can be able to make withdrawals of money in any countries on daily basis. $3000 per day, The ATM card is in your name and the pin number will be in the envelope

I would have sent the ATM card to your address by myself, but I lack the time to do that now because I have to urgently meet up with my business colleagues in Russia. I will be heading to the airport as soon as I send you this email because I will be travelling out of my country to Russia where I shall continue with petroleum business engagements.

For your good, I left the ATM card with one Mrs. Sarah Hughes, now go on and contact her through his email address so that she can use any of the posting company post the item to you through your contact address. Simply contact Mrs. Sarah Hughes immediately so that he can send the ATM card to you. Below is the contact of Mrs. Sarah Hughes;

Name: Mrs. Sarah Hughes
Email: BOACCTDEPT@consultant.com
Cell Phone 63965120

I hope to hear that you have collected the fund. It has been a true pleasure working with you

Best regards,
Mr. Daniel
