"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:
- "into your nominated bank account" (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)
- "united state dollar" (this email uses bad English)
- "cotonou" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.
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.

Hello,

Greetings to you in the name of God.

I am Mrs. Evelynn Nambrose from Queensland Australia, based in Cotonou
Republic Du Benin, West Africa, suffering from cancerous ailment.

I was married to Dr. Dickson Nambrose, an English shipping tycoon
notable for his great charitable activities before his death in April
2nd, 2012.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Three Million,
Eight Hundred and Seventy Thousand United State dollars only (US$
3,870.000.00 USD) which were derived from his vast estates and
investment in capital market with his bank in Republic Du Benin and
named me as the beneficiary of this trust fund.

Presently, this money is still with the Bank in Republic Du Benin.

My Doctor told me recently, that I have limited days to live due to the
cancerous problems that I have been suffering from, though what bothers
me most is the stroke that I have in addition with the cancer.

With this hard reality that has befallen me, I have decided to donate
this fund to you and I want you to use this gift which comes from my
Late husbands effort to establish a Charity home for the upkeep of
Widows, Widowers, Orphans, Destitute, the down-trodden, Physically
challenged children, Barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely
handicapped financially.

I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit
this money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy
persons and I do not want my husband hard earned money to be misused or
invested into ill perceived ventures, which is the reason I took this
bold decision.

I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my
deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband relatives
around me.

Note: that after the Bank wired the fund into your nominated bank
account, you are going to map out 30% percent out of the total fund for
your personal use and use the remaining 70% percent for charitable work
by help the poor and the less-privilege.

You can contact me through eve.nambrose2@aol.com for more details if you
are interested to handle this donation fund.

Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Always pray for my health.

May God bless you!!!
Evelynn Nambrose
