"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 next of kin scam.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.
- +34612230861 (Spain, prepaid mobile phone)
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.

Attention,

My name is Enrique Belzuz, Attorney of Belzuz Abogados SLP Madrid, Spain.
I got your contact information through the Foreign Affairs office in Spain. I was searching for a relation to my late client Engnr Willie Lang, an Expatriate Engineer who worked with the Iberdrola Electricity Company in Spain for thirteen years. He died of ghastly motor accident on his way to France in 2007.

Before his death, he deposited the sum of €8,752, 000.00 (EIGHT MILLION AND SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO THOUSAND U.S. EUROS) with Santander Bank in Spain. The money has remained unserviceable for long time.
The Santander Bank is requesting for beneficiary of the money.
Effort to contact relatives of my late client has been in vain. So I have contacted you to stand as the beneficiary of the money.
I am actually asking for your consent to present you to the Bank as the next of Kin/beneficiary of my late client's fund, since you have the same Last name, so that the proceeds can be paid to your bank account. It is my work, it is success.

I will prepare every relevant document that will assist your claims, and facilitate the release of the fund. I have worked out all modalities to complete the transaction successfully. The intended transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any infraction of the law.
I will represent and stand for you through the process unless the Bank decides for some reason to invite you for interview. We will pursue this goal with honesty, and keep the transaction confidential.

Upon the release of the money which will not take long. We will share the money between us. You will be updated with more details as the process starts.
Get back to me through email: enrique_belzuz@yahoo.es ,Tel: + 34 612230861,

Best Regards;
Attorney Enrique Belzuz
