"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:
- "inheritance funds" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "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.
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.

Good Day,

I am Kelly Connel a US citizen but i was raised in Trinidad and Tobago, Am 32 years old. I was one of those people that took part in receiving Inheritance funds and Lottery funds from European banks even from many lottery organizers some years ago and they refused to pay me; I had paid over $36,000USD while in the United States trying to get my funds from those banks and lottery organizers but all to no avail. So I decided to travel to South Africa with all my compensation documents, and I was directed by the IMF Director to contact the reconciliatory Attorney Alfred Wilson who is a Lawyer, An Australian citizen and a member of the UNITED NATIONS & IMF COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE currently working with IMF in the South Africa and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are not genuine. Attorney Alfred Wilson personally directed me on how to claim my Inheritance or Lottery payment.

Right now I just have received my compensation funds that worth $1,800,000.00 Dollars Moreover, Attorney Alfred Wilson, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their Inheritance or Lottery payment and I saw your name as one of the beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I decided to send you an email to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your compensation funds, they are only making money out of you and asking you for different fees.

I will personally advise you to contact Attorney Alfred Wilson, So that he will assist you as he is a very religious man with the fear of God.

Compensation Award Office.

Name: Attorney Alfred Wilson
