"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:
- "required fee " (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. )
- "international remittance department" (Banks mentioned in 419 scams are always fake (real banks don't communicate using mobile phones or free webmail addresses))
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Good Day ,

                 We have sent you countless E-mail and we do not understand the reason why you have stop responding to every of our Email and the reason why we have decided to contact you today is just to let you know that your Fund is still available in our Bank and if you think you are being skeptical of sending down the required fee to have this Transaction completed, then you are further advised to some down to our Head Office here in NY so you can meet with us in person and confirm the legitimacy of this Transaction before you proceed further.

We want you to think deep that if our Bank is not sure of this Transaction to be 100% legit, we wouldn't be so sure of telling you to come and meet with us in person , Please get back immediately and let us know if you are still interested in proceeding and in not we urge you to give us an immediate Authority to finally terminate this Transaction.

Thanks.
