"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:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- ",000,000" (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)
- "00,000.00" (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.
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.

Dear friend,

With all due respect, i'm sorry to bother you again, but you have not replied the email messages I sent you last week concerning the business proposal.

I have sent you an email twice already, and this is my third email to you, but I still have not received any response from you. Is this email address of yours no longer active? Or are my letters mistakenly falling into your spam folder ? I'm wondering.

Well, I sincerely apologize for intruding into your privacy, especially by contacting you through this medium for a business transaction of this nature, it is due to its seriousness and urgency of the matter.

I want to seek your assistance. I need your assistance for the transfer of US$8,000,000.00, left behind in a Bank in Togo Republic by my deceased client, a citizen of your country.

I wish to present you to the Bank here as the next of kin to my deceased client, because you bear the same last name. I will give you the necessary details of this transaction as soon as I hear from you indicating your interest and cooperation.

I decided to write to you again to know if you received any of my previous emails.

Waiting your response.You can contact me on my private email address (pacuski.adam@gmail.com)

Lieber Freund,

Bei allem Respekt, es tut mir leid, dass ich Sie noch einmal belästige, aber Sie haben die E-Mail-Nachrichten, die ich Ihnen letzte Woche bezüglich des Geschäftsvorschlags gesendet habe, nicht beantwortet.

Ich habe Ihnen bereits zweimal eine E-Mail geschickt, und dies ist meine dritte E-Mail an Sie, aber ich habe noch immer keine Antwort von Ihnen erhalten. Ist diese E-Mail-Adresse nicht mehr aktiv? Oder fallen meine Briefe fälschlicherweise in Ihren Spam-Ordner? Ich frage mich.

Nun, ich entschuldige mich aufrichtig dafür, dass ich in Ihre Privatsphäre eingedrungen bin, vor allem, weil ich Sie über dieses Medium für eine geschäftliche Transaktion dieser Art kontaktiert habe, aufgrund der Ernsthaftigkeit und Dringlichkeit der Angelegenheit.

Ich möchte deine Hilfe suchen. Ich benötige Ihre Unterstützung für die Überweisung von US $ 8.000.000,00, die mein verstorbener Kunde, ein Bürger Ihres Landes, in einer Bank in der Republik Togo zurückgelassen hat.

Ich möchte Sie hier der Bank als nächsten Angehörigen meines verstorbenen Mandanten vorstellen, weil Sie denselben Nachnamen tragen. Ich werde Ihnen die notwendigen Details dieser Transaktion geben, sobald ich von Ihnen Ihre Interessen und Ihre Mitarbeit mitteilt.

Ich habe beschlossen, Ihnen erneut zu schreiben, um zu wissen, ob Sie eine meiner früheren E-Mails erhalten haben.

Warte auf deine Antwort. Du kannst mich unter meiner privaten E-Mail-Adresse kontaktieren (paccuski.adam@gmail.com)
