"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:
- "a security company " (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "will come to you as a surprise" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "might come to you as a surprise" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "million 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)
- "i feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
This email message is a next of kin scam.
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: HELLO,

Greetings,

Dear One, permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business
relationship with you. I come across your profile and have decided to
get in touch with you after my prayers, to see if you can help me
alleviate this problem. I can't imagine how you will feel receiving a
sudden letter from a remote country far away and probably from someone
you are not closely related with. But all the same, I believe we do
not need to be of blood relatives before we can establish cordial
relationship, This proposal might come to you as a surprise but
believe me that it is a transparent business.

My name is Mrs Burch Dianna Lynn, and I work in the delivery department in a
security company here in London. I feel quite safe dealing with you in
this important Business. I was on a routine inspection when i
discovered a deposit account with a BAL. Of (FIFTY MILLION UNITED
STATES DOLLARS).

I later learn't on further discreet investigation that the depositor
of the funds has passed away (dead) leaving no beneficiary to the
deposit. The company will deliver this money to anyone with legal
claims because the former depositor was a foreigner. I am certainly
sure that nobody will come again for the claim of this money. We claim
this money with legal claims to the deposit Holder, therefore I need
your cooperation in this transaction.I will provide all necessary
information needed in order to claim this money,Hoping in God that you
will never let me down now and in future o.k!.Late Rafik Bahaa Edine
Hariri (November 1, 1944 - February 14, 2005),married to Nazek Audi
Hariri, was a Lebanese self-made billionaire and business tycoon, and
was five times Prime Minister of Lebanon
(1992-1998 and 2000-2004)before his last resignation from office on
October 20, 2004. The late Rafik Hariri died on February 14, 2005 when
explosives equivalent to around 300 kg of C4 were detonated as his
motorcade drove past the Saint George Hotel in the Lebanese capital,

WE WANT TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO A SAFE FOREIGN ACCOUNT ABROAD BUT
I DON'T KNOW ANY FOREIGNER WHOM I CAN TRUST, I KNOW THAT THIS MESSAGE
WILL COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE AS WE DON'T KNOW OURSELVES BEFORE, BUT
BE SURE THAT IT IS REAL AND A GENUINE BUSINESS. I CONTACT YOU
BELIEVING THAT YOU WILL NOT LET ME DOWN ONCE THE FUND GOES TO YOU. LET
ME HEAR FROM YOU URGENTLY VIA PRIVATE EMAIL BOX EXPECT YOUR URGENT
RESPONSE WITH THE FOLLOWING. AS SOON AS I HEAR FROM YOU.
