"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:
- "barr." (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
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 contact you because I am looking for a partner in the realization of a
project.

I am the estate administrator of a client who recently died suddenly and
left a large fortune (Â£ 18.5million) pound sterling without leaving a
will or heir. No legacy could be found even after intensive search and
now the property is under the Bona Vacantia law, danger to go to the
state. My client, Eugene Hilsen was of Danish descent, so I'm looking
for a person from the German/Denish-speaking countries that I can use as
heirs.

My offer would be as follows: I declare you to be the heir of Mr. Eugene
Schreiber And claim with Irer claim to the assets And for your
co-operation I give you 40% of the assets. Since I am the deceased's
lawyer / estate administrator, it is no problem to get the necessary
documents within a short time and submit them to the treasury in the UK
where the inheritance is currently located . If I can not name an heir,
the legacy goes, as I said, to the state and is thus lost, which is why
I have to resort to these means.

Please let me know if you can imagine a transaction of this kind. I
would also ask you to be discreet in this matter, if you are interested,
please let me know your direct telephone number (private phone number).

Please, answer me, if you are not interested, so I can continue my
search. If, however, you are interested, I am pleased to have found
someone to help me solve the problem. I would be glad about an early
contact name for the time being by e-mail: (garyduren2001@yahoo.com) as
I am on this matter more and more under time pressure.

Best regards,

Barr. Gary Duren
