"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:
- "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)
- "abuja" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
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.

Re: Your Secured Unlimited Master Card

Despite all efforts to move out your funds from the banks, it has proved very difficult over the years due to international clearances being demanded by some international organizations. Consequently, I have had series of meetings with officials of the bank of America (BOA), regarding the best option to move your fund without problems.

Our financial consultant followed up with the bank and has finally resolved with the bank and agreed to move the funds through a privately secured unlimited master card, which will be issued in your name or company name. With the master card, you can make daily withdrawals of up to $10,000.00 from any bank ATM machine. You can also transfer up to $300,000.00 weekly using this privately secured unlimited master card.

I think this is the best option for you to receive your fund in your country because, everything about the privately secured unlimited master card has been designed to work anywhere in the world.

Acknowledge the receipt of this letter via my office e-mail address:

I look for your urgent response,

Mrs. Elizabeth Kwaghbulah.
