"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.

CONFESSING MY SINS:

Good day to you,

I wishes to inform you that I have been in communication with my Bank CITYBANK regarding the $790,000.00 I assigned to your name as Atone for the atrocities I committed during my leadership as Nigeria E.F.C.C Boss and they confirmed that if transfer should be terminated as threatened by J. P Morgan Chase Bank/SECURITY OUTFIT due to your inability to abide by transfer due process that fund can equally be converted/process via ATM Card and mail to your address along the ATM Secret Pin if only you could keep it to yourself.

The question is to know if you can sort DHL cost of mailing the ATM Card to your address at receipt of package since I'm still incapacitate and cannot take such responsibility from here as I'm still laying critical ill here in ST'JOSEPH Hospital TACOMA.

Note: Until I'm able to receive your feed-back only then can my account officer Mr. Frank Iheji be advised other-wise, but in-case you have decided to forfeit the offer please you should hesitate to notify me as it ins't compulsory to claim this offer after-all. Meanwhile, I beg you remember me in your prayers as I'm waiting to undergo a heart surgery operation in couple of days and I'm scared.

Your urgent response will be appreciated.

Regards,

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs. Farida Mzaber Waziri,
