"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:
- "money laundering" ("anti-terrorist", "anti-money laundering" or "drug-free" certificates are a common way for criminals in fake lottery scams and other Advance Fee scams to get you to send money to them. There are no such certificates in the real banking world. )
- "here in london united kingdom" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "dear beneficiary," (this SPAM email was probably sent to thousands of people)
- "immigration services" (For real work or immigration visas you will always be dealing with the foreign embassy, high commission or consulate in your country, not directly with the authorities in the country you are trying to move to. If you are being asked to send money to someone outside of your country, then it's a scam. Real visas fees are always payable to the foreign embassy or consulate in your country. Embassies or immigration officials will never use a free webmail address or demand payment by Western Union or to a bank account that is not in the name of the embassy. )
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Dear Beneficiary, %0%,

Good day!

I have important information for you here.

Please accept my sincere apologies if my email disturbs your business
or personal ethics.

I will first introduce myself to you:

My name is Mr. Alexander Zulemaro, A staff in the Card Accounts
Management Section of a very well-known Bank, here in London United
Kingdom.

One of our Bank Accounts here has been with holding a current balance
of 27,712,068.00 GBP (Twenty Seven Million Seven Hundred And Twelve
Thousand, And Sixty Eight Great British Pounds Sterling Only) and the
Card account had been DRAFTED AS DORMANT. It was last operated
(11yrs) ago.

>From my private investigations and confirmation, the owner of this
said bank account, a Foreigner by name, Mr. Jonce Ludwig died on the
4th of January 2007 in a boat accident mishap that occurred here at
Birmingham, UK.

Since then, nobody has done anything as regards claiming of this
money, as he has no traces of family member who has any knowledge as
to the existence of this bank account or the funds here; and also
Information from our National Immigration Services here, stated that
he was ONLY on a single entry into the UK, and had proposed to
establish a Real Estate Firm here at United Kingdom, hence the deposit
of this very fund here at our bank.

I have confidently discussed this issue with some of our bank
officials, although, some showed interest, and some refused, but on
the contrary, we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to
deal with this situation. We therefore propose to do this business
with you, and we wish that you stand in as the Next of Kin to attest
to this fund, so that we can have the fund and Bank Account details
released to you after due processes have been followed.

I am assuring you that this transaction is totally free of risks as
all the legal documents are readily available and valid to be signed
and stamped in your name and it will be done without any problem as
the fund is 100% legitimate and does not originate from drug money
laundering, or terrorism fund or any other illegal act.

As soon as the deal is done successfully, you will take 45% while 50%
come to me and few of my colleagues involved and 5% for any
ecumberances that we may incure.

On your interest, let us hear from you by responding to this email via
my private email here:

Thanking you in advance for accepting to do this with us.

I remain!

Mr. Alexander Zulemaro.
