"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:
- "million us 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)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Dear Sir

I am looking for a serious minded business partner who will make good use of a very good opportunity. My name is Samer Malkawi, a director of a United Arab Emirates based finance Management Company.

My firm most times represents the interests of very wealthy personalities. Due to the sensitivity of the position they hold in their various societies and the unstable investment environment of their countries, they move majority of their funds into more stable economies and developed nations where they can get good yield for their money. A reserved Client, whom I had personally worked with few years ago with a proposal, recently approached me. What he requested is a serious minded businessman, who will be willing to receive funds, and put it to good use for a period not exceeding 8 to 10 years for a start.

The client has offered these terms:

1. The fund in question is $5 Million US Dollars.

2. The funds will be used by the foreign partner for eight to ten years or more as a loan without any interest. That is, you do not pay any interest on the money but you give the client 5% of all profits after tax that accrued from the use of the funds yearly.

If these terms are agreeable to you, kindly let me know and I will provide you with all necessary information and procedures involved.

Sincerely yours,

Samer Malkawi
