"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:
- ",500,000" (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)
- "confidential business" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
- "very confidential" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
- "is 100% risk free" (almost true for the criminal trying to scam you - arrests of online criminals are rare)
- "abuja" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

For your kind attention

It is my great pleasure to contact you after my search for a very
reliable person that can collaborate with me to carry out a very
confidential business transaction that will be of mutual benefit.

First of all, let me introduce myself to you. I am Mr. Kamoru
Oladimeji Busari, 54 years old and I am married with three children. I
am a Civil servant and a Director of Petroleum Resources under the
Federal Ministry of Petroleum here in Nigeria.

I really want to believe that you are that person whom I really want
to contact because of the secrecy of this great business transact. I
do hope you will keep this secret as I wouldn't want you to divulge
this information to my Ministry and or to the Security agencies.

Please I would like to solicit from you to know if you can use your
good position to receive the sum of US$47,500,000 on my behalf since
you are a foreigner. For your information, this fund in question is an
over invoiced bill resulting from Contracts executed by one of our
Contractors. Note that the Contracts were executed and the Contractors
had long been paid. So, I will like to include you as one of our
contractors so that the fund would be released to you. Be informed
that as a Civil Servant, we do not have the authority to own a foreign
Account hence the essence of contacting you.

Meanwhile, be informed that this deal is 100% risk free as I have
already set out strategies that will ensure the successful movement of
the fund to you. For your collaboration, you shall receive 30% of the
fund while the other 60% will come to me and the remaining 10% will be
set aside to off-set transfer expenses both here in Nigeria and there
in your Country. Please take this as a good fortune as I will like to
secure the future of my family and myself with my own share of the
proceeds. So, if you are ready to collaborate with me, do let me know
by responding to me very urgently. I will also like to have your
telephone number so that I can talk with you on the telephone.

Once again, please do me a favor never to forward this mail to any
quarter in case you are not interested. I will be very much happy to
receive your response if my proposition to you is accepted.

Regards,
Kamoru Oladimeji Busari
Director: Petroleum Resources
Federal Ministry of Petroleum
