"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:
- "million us 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)
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.

Subject: HELLO

A message from GilmarrT GilmarrT traouregimar22@gmail.com.
Please, my sincere apology if this communication doesn't meet your personal ethics. I have to contact you via this medium because I really need to get in touch with someone as you. I anticipated that this correspondence might come as a surprise to you because we don't know each other before but since it is widely said that the connection between a man and his millions is another man, I am here with a proposition that is ordained to connect us to our destiny.

Someone I presumed to be your relative because of the similarities in your last names, who was an investor with our bank but died years back has just come to the limelight in our bank. Since over ten years that he died his portfolio and investment worth 40 million US dollars has not been touch because no name next-of-kin was found in his bio-data form, Now, this investment has generated an accrued interest to the amount of 1.3 Million USD because he was operating a domiciliary USD account.

The bank management has therefore authorized me as the director of investment banking Accounting and Finance of our Bank to locate any living relative of this investor so that the funds can be paid to the family of the late investor. This is accordance with the banking ethics & policies as stipulated by existing apex banking laws. I came to you because you share the same surname with the investor, I will simply nominate & empower you with all the relevant information(s) and documentations to enable you claim the money smoothly.

If I don't do this and inform the bank I cannot locate any relative of the investor, the funds will be revert/re-circle into the bank treasury as unclaimed monies and people that know nothing about the source of the funds will spend it that is the irony of the banking industry which is purely aberrational.

Please reply to me immediately you received this email with your most direct telephone line and private email address so that I can call and furnish you with all the details. Please note, We shall sharing the money equally as I will make the atmosphere suitable and conducive for you to successful claim the money without hitch & risk-free as beneficiary. I know you don't know the dead investor, this is great God favor for you and me.
Yours Sincerely,
Gilmar.
