"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:
- "money laundering" ("anti-terrorist", "anti-money laundering" or "drug-free" certificates are a common way for criminals in fake lottery scams and other Advance Fee scams to get you to send money to them. There are no such certificates in the real banking world. )
- "clearance certificate" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )

THE EXECUTIVE ORDER IN FULL PROTECTING THE NATION FROM FOREIGN TERRORIST ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and
laws of the United States of America, including the Monetary and
Anti-terrorist Act (MAA), 9 U.S.C. 1100 ET seq., and section 301 of
title 3, United States Code, and to protect the American people from
terrorist attacks by foreign nationals admitted to the United States, I
was yesterday furnished with your case file by the attorney general of
United States of America concerning a criminal and terrorist case
against you, in the statement of your case file, a huge amount of money
that valued the sum of $8.5 million dollars was confiscated by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) belonging to you which was
smuggled into our country illegally without authentic documents that
covers it.

Today, my verdict on the matter is follows: That
you have been listed among others as a wanted terrorist for involving
in such an illicit act, I have given order to put the fund on hold
until the matter is resolved, every details about your dealings with
some impostors from African countries has been tendered to me and I will
ensure that the security agencies that is assigned to carry out this
operation is well equip and finance to perfect this assignment, I am
here to correct all the mistakes by the past administration and also to
ensure that peace is return to our country, I will make sure that my
ban on immigration especially the listed countries is final so that we
will be safe from terror.

My findings today has
indicated that the said $8.5 million dollars that belongs to you
originated from Nigeria approved by their past administration as a
compensation but it was not covered with documents such as
Anti-terrorist and Ownership Certificate which is necessary and a
reasonable person should know that before such a fund would be
transferred either by diplomatic means or wire transfer, it has to be
covered with the above mentioned documents.

I am giving you
only 3 working days to get the documents available to me, otherwise, I
will order for your immediate arrest wherever you are for prosecution
and I will make sure that you are jailed for life, for your
information, I have before me every evidence to nail you down and you
can not escape the justice not while I am still the president.

The best you could do to yourself as we advised herein is for you to
get in contact with Nigeria Senate President with this email account: sent.bukolasaraki@yahoo.com
to enable him obtaining this required Clearance Certificate from the
appropriate government agency in your name so that the Security Agency
would not have anything evidence to nail you as a US Citizen for Money
Laundering or sponsorship of Terrorist Activities.

This order
shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the
availability of appropriations.This order is not intended to, and does
not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable
at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its
departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents,
or any other person. I look forward to hear from you soonest.

Your urgent responds is highly needed today

Yours Truly,

Donald J. Trump
