"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:
- "dear sir/madam" (a standard Nigerian greeting phrase)
- "the consignment" (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)

killing all the people in Darfour region to enable them inherit the land,

decided to leave Darfour to Johannesburg, South Africa to seek Asylum

has been handed over to our family Lawyer in South Africa who assisted my
late husband when the consignment was safely deposited.

The financial laws in South Africa on Refugees do not warrant us to invest
the funds here as we cannot operate any bank account, which is why we
decided to look for a Foreign Partner who will assist us in moving the
funds out of South Africa for my family investment. We have decided to
offer you 25% of the total amount, 5% mapped out to defray all expenses
that will be incurred during the process of concluding the transaction,
while the remaining 70%will be for my family and will be invested in your
country under your management.
