"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:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- ",000,000" (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)
- "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 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: Finally Your Funds Is Here// Case File Is 54AC003.

Dear Friend,

I'm Mrs. Mary Price. I'm a US citizen and I'm 52 years Old. I reside here in 6460 Ruleton Avenue Goodland, Kansas 67735 and I'm thinking of relocating since I'm now rich.

I'm one of those that took part in the Compensation many years ago and they refused to pay me. I had paid over $25,000 dollars while in the US, trying to get my payment but all was to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to Washington DC with all my compensation documents and I was directed to meet Alexander Bryant, who is the FBI Special Agent and a member of the compensation award committe currently in United States of America and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said who ever is contacting us through emails are fake. He also took me to the paying bank for the claim of my compensation payment.

Right now, I'm the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of ( $5,000,000.00.) Moreover, Alexander Bryant showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email as one of the beneficiaries who have not yet received the payment under CASE FILE 54AC003 and that is why I decided to email you and informed you to stop dealing with those people because they are not with your fund, they are only making money from you.

Therefore, I would advise you to contact Alexander Bryant for assistance and inform him that your CASE FILE is 54AC003. You are to contact Alexander Bryant directly via the information below so that he can help you too.

COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE.

Name : Alexander Bryant
Email: fbicompensation53@gmail.com

You have to reconfirm your full information's to Alexander Bryant to enable him confirm your details.

1. Full Name:
2. Residential Address
3. Direct Telephone Number:
4. Date of birth
5. Occupation:
6. Marital status
7. country
8. Identity card

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them because it is not with them. They are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing.

The only money I paid after I met Alexander Bryant was just $450 the paper works of my funds. So please take note of that Alexander Bryant shall ensure that you deal directly with the paying bank.

Once again stop contacting those people. I advise that you contact Alexander Bryant so that he can help you in the collection of your payment instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Thank you and be blessed.

Mrs. Mary Price
