"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:

The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "hundred thousand united states dollars" (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 mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.
- +22574016479 (Cote d'Ivoire, probably a prepaid mobile phone)
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.

Hello,

This is Ms Aleksandra Lakic. I am writing from a hospital in Ivory Coast,
therefore this mail is very urgent, I am dying in the hospital which I do
not know what tomorrow will be. I have been told by my doctor that I was
poisoned and have got my liver damaged and can only live for weeks more,
and my step mother is the one that wants to kill me, to take my belongings
since after the death of my Father.

I have a little orphan child, named Janice and [Eight Million Four Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars] I inherited from my late father, my step
mother and her children are after Janice because she knew about the
documents of the money and about the poison, for this reason they do not
want Janice to expose them, so they will do anything possible to kill her,
so I want you to help her out of this country with the money.

This is the favor I need when you have gotten the money: -

(1) Set out 40% of the money to establish my daughter Janice as she has
been there for me throughout my illness and I have promised to support her
in life. I want you to take her along with you to your country and
establish her as your daughter.

(2) Give 30% of the money to the less privileged and charity organizations
and schools. The remaining 30% should be for you and others that you would
love to assist.

Note; This should be a code between you and Janice in this transaction
"Hospital" any mail from her, the Lawyer she will direct you to,
without this code "Hospital" is not from Janice, the Lawyer or
myself as I don't know what will happen to me in the next few hours.
Contact my daughter Janice on her email and telephone number below.

Janice Lakic
lakicjanice@gmail.com
Telephone: +225 7401 6479

She will give you the documents of the money and will direct you to a well
known lawyer that I have appointed to her, the lawyer will assist you to
change the documents of the money to your name to enable the bank transfer
the money to you.

Janice is a young girl therefore guides her. And if I did not hear from you
within days, I will look for another person or an organization for the same
purpose.
Thanks for your acceptance to help accomplish my wish.
Ms Aleksandra Lakic
