"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.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
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.

Good day

I know that this message will look strange, surprising and

probably unbelievable to you, but it is the reality. I want to

make a donation of money to you. I contact you by the will of

God. My name is: Mrs.Amilisa Dadi I am a firm German woman

specialized in mining gold and diamonds in Africa. but now, I'm

very sick of a cancer. My husband died in an accident two years

ago within our two children, leaving me with only a son who is

just 9 years old, and now I have cancer of the esophagus that

damaged almost all the cells in my system/agencies and I'll die

soon according to my doctors.

My most concern now is my only remaining son who knows nothing

about live and has no one to take care of him after I have died,

because I and my husband has no family, we grew up in the

orphanage and were married in orphanage.. If Rollins my son will

soon be left alone in the desert of life, and I don't want to

make him a subject of the orphanage where I and my husband grew

up, I want my son to grow up in a family way. Please, if you can

be reliable and sincere to accept my humble proposal; I have

(10.5Millions Euro) in a fixed deposit account; I will order the

Bank to transfer the money into your account in your country

Immediately, and then you will take my son to your country and

raise him as your own son.Please, answer as quick as possible.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

God bless you.
Mrs.Amilisa Dadi
