"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:
- "western union" (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. )
- "inheritance funds" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "million 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)
- "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
Western Union money transfer is completely untraceable and therefore is *not* safe to use with anyone you do not know personally. It is the preferred method of online criminals to collect money from their victims.
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: GOOD DAY.

I am Miss. Jeniffer Cole, a US citizen, Am 44 years old. I am one
of those people that took part in receiving Inheritance funds and
Lottery funds from European banks even from many lottery
organizers few years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid
different fees while in the United States trying to get my funds
from those banks and lottery organizers but all to no avail. So I
decided to travel to LONDON, UK with all my compensation
documents, and I was directed by the IMF Director to contact the
re conciliator Mr Larry Anthony who is also an attorney, A
London citizen and a member of the UNITED NATIONS & IMF
COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE currently working with IMF in the
United Kingdom, I contacted him and he explained everything to
me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake. Mr
Larry Anthony personally directed me on how to claim my
Inheritance and Lottery payment.

Right now I have received my compensation funds of $4,000,
000.00(Four million dollars) Moreover Mr Larry Anthony showed me
the full information of those that are yet to receive their
Inheritance and Lottery payment and I saw your name as one of the
beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I decided to
email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with
your funds, they are only making money out of you.

I will personally advise you to contact Mr Larry Anthony, he will
assist you as he is a very religious man with the fear of God.

Compensation Award Office.

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are

is not in anyway with them and they are only taking advantage of
you which means they will dry you up until you have nothing. The
only money I paid after I met Mr Robert Sanchez was $425 take
note of that.

NOTE: THE ONLY MONEY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY AND WHICH I ALSO PAID
IS $425 AS IMPOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT ON YOUR PACKAGE.

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to
contact Mr Robert Sanchez instead of wasting your time and money
with those liars that will be turning you around asking for
different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Thank You and Remain Blessed.

Sincerely,

Miss. Jeniffer Cole,
