"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.
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.
- +2349053501057 (Nigeria, prepaid mobile phone)
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: MY TESTIMONY !!!

Hello Dear,

I am Diana L. Hashman, a citizen of the United States of America. I was one of those who participated in the compensation program in Nigeria which was not successful at that time. I paid money to London, Malaysia, Benin Republic and Nigeria to no avail. I lost over US$198,000, was rejected by my family except my son who stood by me all through. I was devastated and admitted at the psychiatric hospital for months.

One day I decided to travel to WASHINGTON D.C with all documents related to my payment, the FBI at WASHINGTON D.C told me to contact Mr. Garcia Rodriguez an Auditor that works with the New Government in Nigeria. I made contact with him by phone and email, he asked me to send him all documents related to my payment which i did and waited.

Three weeks later he called me and told me to send US$395 for the ownership paper works, I was sceptical at first and made contact with the FBI office at WASHINGTON D.C and they asked me to go ahead and send it to him; this i did. In less than 72 hours my full compensation payment including the US$395 i sent to him were all transferred into my account.

Now I am a happy woman and God bless my son, Mr. Garcia Rodriguez is godsent hence I am advicing you to contact him. His details are:

Email: g.rodriguez147000@gmail.com

Mobile: +234-9053501057

Please contact him and send your telephone number and your residential address to him so that he can release your own money to you.

Thank you & God bless you.
