"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)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

Hello dear,

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ I am Mrs. Patricia Graham , A widow to Late Graham. I am 62years old , suffering from long time cancer of the breast .
From all indications , my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not
live more than two months according to my doctor , because the stage at which my cancer is (Level 3) , it is so critical and also to a very severe stage.

My late husband and i both grew up in a motherless home in Australia we got married and we travel to the United States for our wedding and we decided to stay back there simply
because it is a lovely place to stay and we were given a permanent stay after so many years of stay and also we have no child of our own due to one problem and the other

So, I now decide to give all of my wealth, by contributing to the development of the motherless baby homes,poor and Cancer patient too in your country and i just want you
to forget about the distance between me and you. I am willing to donate the sum of $5.000,000.00, us dollars which is still the major inheritance i have left. I wish you could be someone who i could trust with all my heart,to make this wish of mine come

I really need you to use the funds to help the poor which is very essential and also the widow and cancer patient as me. I know this is hard, but you should keep this saying in your heart , I am like Moses in the Bible .

He came to the Red Sea and Pharaoh behind him and no way to turn but God delivered him all by a miraculous deliverance .

It will be a miracle from God to be able to help all the dear people God has laid on our hearts, as you have been laid on my heart to do His will.
This is why with God in my heart i contact you and i want you to contact me so we be in contact with all the poor souls out there. Give new lives , hopes and days .
I will be praying hard that Satan will not stop this effort . Do contact me and i will tell you more of what you wish to know .

Note that the Lord have a great
reason for me contacting you and i will be very grateful if you will heed to the call of the Lord by replying me
Yours in Christ,
