"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:
- ",000,000" (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.

Subject: We are ready to finance your project!

Dear Sir,
I represent a UK based Finance company who is into both debt recovery and Money Lending/Project Financing. We manage funds for wealthy businessmen and politicians. We lend such monies at a fairly reasonable interest rate which is as low as 3 - 4% per annum. We can approve a loan/funding for up to USD 800,000,000.00 or more depending on the nature of business. We adopt a much more flexible processing because we bypass the usual rigorous procedures.

If your company has a large funding need, securing the financing through a conventional bank or other traditional channel can be very difficult today. As such, we assist Clients and brokers in their attempt to secure funding. Our Loan is suitable for Commercial Real Estate (acquisition, refinance, and development), Oil and Gas, Mining, In-Ground Assets, Business Financing, Contract Projects, etc.

If you are in need of any of these services, kindly revert back to me so we can commence discussions via e-mail, phone and skype to enable us close quickly.

Thanks,
Mr.Channy In
