"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.
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.

Good Day Dear,

My name is Ms. Joyes Dadi, I am glad you are reading this letter and I hope
we will start our communication and I know that this message will look strange,
surprising and probably unbelievable to you, but it is the reality. I want to
make a donation of money to you.

I contact you by the will of God. I am a firm German woman specialized in
mining gold and diamonds in Africa. But now, I'm very sick of a cancer. My
husband died in an accident two years ago with our two children and now I have
cancer of the esophagus that damaged almost all the cells in my system/agencies
and I'll die soon according to my doctor.

My most concern now is, we grew up in the orphanage and were married in
orphanage. If I die this deposited fund will soon be left alone in the hand of
the bank, and I do want to it that way. Please, if you can be reliable and
sincere to accept my humble proposal; I have (10.5Millions Euro) in a fixed
deposit account; I will order the Bank to transfer the money into your account
in your country immediately, and then you will take the fund to your country
and invest it to the orphanage homes Please, answer as quickly as possible.

God bless you.
Ms. Joyes Dadi
