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

decided not to remarry.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (5.5 Million
Euro) in a prime bank. presently, this is still in the bank and my
doctor told me that i would not live for the next three months due to
cancer problem. Church where you worship to always pray for me because
i know that the lord is my shepherd. my happiness is that i lived a
life of a worthy christain.

Whoever wants to serve the lord must serve him in spirit and truth.
Please always be prayerful throughout your life and any delay in your
reply will not be too good for my life. As I dedicate this big task to
you to handle it the way my late husband directed me before his sudden

absolute control of this fund until it gets to you . please endeavour
to use it for the children of God, with trust.
