"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.
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)
- "economic and financial crimes commission" (This name is often mentioned in money recovery scams (re-scam): the real EFCC does not contact victims to offer to get their money back because that is near impossible. )
- "(efcc)" (This name is often mentioned in money recovery scams (re-scam): the real EFCC does not contact victims to offer to get their money back because that is near impossible. )
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.

Subject: RE: CAN WE DEAL?.

My name is Williams Oladele, I hold dual citizenship , I am a Nigerian and I am also British, but I live more in the UK , but I am in Nigeria right now, I do not know how you will see my letter because all the fake stories going around on the internet has made it almost impossible to know who is real and who is fake.

However I am of the opinion that without the real transactions the fake transactions can not exist, you may have given up on trusting people and accepting proposals , but it will be good for you to give me a chance if you do not mind.

I came across a serious transaction deal here that I am looking for someone to work with in executing it, it is about moving out $50,000,000.00 , after you agree I will explain to you how we will do this, the money in question belong to a for Managing director of the (NNPC) Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (Mr. Andrew Yakubu) , as I write to you presently $9.8 million has been recovered from him by the (EFCC) Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, but obviously he has so much stashed away that can never ever be discovered.

I happen to know him in person and I am currently in charge of this huge sum in safes and I want a safe location and someone to work with to move it out by ship, after I hand over the safes to the captain after a thorough arrangement has been made I will give you the ship details and you can track the vessel and can talk to the captain to the determine arrival time to your location or any location we both shall be comfortable with.

Please click on the websites I have included to read the full story about the owner of the money and his present troubles with the government.

I am a careful man so I will not do anything stupid with you, I am not hungry and so I am not looking for your money upfront, rather I am looking for a serious partnership with you and ultimately to make good profit from this deal without any trouble to me or to you my partner after you accept my proposal.

I have included the original copy of my British passport to this mail for your perusal, there are a lot good deal out here but the hungry Africans using the existence of the real deals to take upfront payment from different unwise people has made it almost impossible for people to trust, but if you like my proposal please let us talk.

I await your response if you know that you have the capacity to handle a deal like this.

Respectfully Yours,

Mr. Williams Oladele.
