"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:
- "money laundering" ("anti-terrorist", "anti-money laundering" or "drug-free" certificates are a common way for criminals in fake lottery scams and other Advance Fee scams to get you to send money to them. There are no such certificates in the real banking world. )
- "million us 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 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.

January 2010. I am 58 years old woman, suffering from long time
cancer of the breast since the death of my husband. From all
indication my doctor said that my condition is really deteriorating

my banker to transfer to you, for work of Less Privileges and Charity
homes, this money has nothing to do with drugs, terrorism or Money
laundering. I am giving you this money with TRUST, because it is the
promises I made to my late husband, that this money must be use for
work of Less Privileges and Charity homes. Since we did not have any
child. The money is sum of ( $32.5 Million US Dollars). The money is
in the bank where my husband deposited it. At the end of the
transaction you will use 30% of the total fund for helping me to do
this work, and use 70% of the money for the work of charity. Please if
itâ€™s good for you to receive this money for work of Less Privileges
and Charity homes as I have said, get back to me as soon as you have
