"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:
- "inheritance funds" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- ",500,000" (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)
- "00,000.00" (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.

So I decided to travel to South Africa with all my compensation documents, and I was directed by the IMF Director to contact the reconciliatory Mr, Ryan Woodward who is also an attorney, A South African citizen and a member of the UNITED NATIONS & IMF COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE currently working in South Africa and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting me through the previous emails are not real.Mr Ryan Woodword personally directed me on how to claim my Inheritance or Lottery payment.

Right now I have received my compensation funds of $3,500,000.00, So i taught of spreading the news on randomly cus i had to try as much as possible to reach out to anyone whom he/she as been a victim in the past or presently and i know God will reward me for that cus i know so many people out there might have lost so much to this scam act, Moreover Ryan Woodword, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their Inheritance or Lottery payment and I saw your name as one of the beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people who are pretending to have your Funds with them they are only making money out from you and i pray the will be brought to justice for stealing from others.

I will personally advise you to contact Mr, Ryan Woodword, he will assist you as he is a very religious man with the fear of God here is phone number i hope its still connects +27626410139.

Listed below are the name of fraudsters and banks behind the non release of your funds that I managed to sneak out for your kind perusal.

1) Mr. James B. Comey Jr
2) Ms. Carman L. Lapointe
3) Mrs. Sherry Williams
4) Mr. Dan Rochas (I.M.F)
5) Mrs. Tanner Williams
6 Mr.Ibrahim Lamorde

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your funds is with them, it is not in anyway with them and they are only taking advantage of you which means they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met Ryan Woodward was just $455 for the security keeping charges, take note of that.
