"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:

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:
- "ptjnh@outlook.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
This email message is a "New Partner from Paraguay" 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.

Subject: THIS IS YOUR COMPENSATION,

My dear,

I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting the fund transferred to a Swiss Account with the cooperation of a new partner from France who is an international business man.Presently I'm in France for investment projects with my own share of the total sum. Meanwhile, I did not forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring those funds despite the fact that it failed us some how.??

Now contact my lawyer, his contact is:
Name: Mr.Peter John Hosker
Email: ptjnh@outlook.com
Tel: +447764970921
+601133204509

Ask him to send to you the total $1,050.000.00 (One Million and Fifty Thousand US Dollars) which I kept for your compensation for all the past efforts and attempts to assist me in this matter. I appreciated your efforts at that time very much, so feel free and get in touch with my Lawyer Mr.Peter John Hosker and instruct him where to send the amount to you.

Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy after all we suffered at that time, at the moment, I am very busy here because of the investment projects which I and the new partner are having at hand.

Finally, remember that I had forwarded instruction to my Lawyer on your behalf to receive that money, so get in touch with him and he will send the amount to you without any delay.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards.
Mrs. Heba Ruba Ahmed
