"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 "dying widow" scam.
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.

I am Mrs.Sarina Baldursson from Iceland, married to Late Engr Dominik
Baldursson {PhD} who worked with MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANY WEATHERFORD as
DRILLING RIG SUPPLIER in Abu Dhabi for 24 years before he died on the 30th
of August,2009 He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four
days he was a brother to Iceland billionaire Thorsteinn Már Baldursson.We
were married for twenty four years without a child.Before his death, he
deposited the sum of $26,043,639.00 US Dollars with a bank In Canada and
this fund has presently been moved to the correspondent bank in spain
awaiting my disbursement as beneficiary and next of kin to the funds.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next eight
months due to cancer problem.Having known my condition, I decided to
donate this fund to a organisation or good person that will utilise this
money in good faith.I took this decision because I don't have any child
that will inherit this money. I kept this deposit secret till date, this
is why I am taking this decision.i have decided to doing something
memorable this year 2017 for humanity sincerely from my heart.I don't
think I will need any telephone communication in this regard because of
the confidentiality of this transfer. Upon your reply I shall give you the
contact of the bank. I will also issue a letter of authorisation to the
bank that will prove you the present beneficiary of this money.
