"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:
- "hundred thousand united states dollars" (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)
- ",500,000" (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)
- "contact me immediately" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
- "lagos" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
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.

Attn: Concerned Beneficiary

I have been opportune to go through your payment file as directed by the presidency, and i have seen that it will take you a long process for your fund to be released due to some irregularities detected in your file. During my investigation i found out that you have spent so much in trying to receive your payment, which did not even reflect in your file. But i have an offer for you, which will at least help your financial stand until you receive your contract payment.

This offer is an amount from Federal Government Diplomatic Compensation Program. It is a total sum of US$15,500,000.00 (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only), which will be shared between you and i in the ratio of 50% - 50%. This amount is not from your contract sum or has any thing related to your contract sum, rather it is a left over from the amount used to give final clearance to some listed diplomats. It is directly under my custody, and i am offering you this because i have seen that your contract fund will not be released on time until all the anomalies are rectified.

The only things needed for these US$15.5 Million to be transferred into your nominated account under 48 hours are as follow: -

1. A new valid bank account details.

For your information, this is not a contract payment. Therefore there will be no bureaucracy or misfortune during this transaction. Please note that if you are willing to make this deal with me, you should contact me immediately on private e-mail, furnishing me with a new bank account details. And also be informed that this transaction will take us just 48 hours to be accomplished.

Yours truly,

Mr. Tunde Johnson
(Chairman Scrutineer Priority Payment Officer)
