"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:
- "from the desk of" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "clearance certificate" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )

visited my office with an envelope containing copies of the document
and the documents are your compensation payment file. They stated that
you disclaim your compensation fund worth US$55.5 Million us dollars

signature on the documents for easy confiscation of your compensation
fund to the government budget account since you don't want to receive
it. but with the experience in the judiciary I refused to sign the documents.

However, due to humanitarian ground and sympathy. I immediately called
up the John Glover Roberts Jr, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
United States and explain your matter to him as regards to your
payment and he personally called Jamie Dimon Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer Federal Reserve Bank of New York to reduce the
payment from $350 to $100 us dollars i tunes card or Google play card
cin order to help you afford the fee to obtain the Tax Clearance
Certificate before the said fund will hit your bank account.

of Benin to you from 22 December 20 20 . Your E-mail address was
generated through the computer ballot system as one of the selected
victims to receive this compensation.

You are required to buy only a U$100 Apple card - iTunes Card Steam
Wallet Card. The ONLY charge you will EVER pay before your package
leaves Our office here is the $100 us dollars i tunes card or Google
play card to obtain the Tax Clearance Certificate. YOU WILL NEVER pay
a dime again as agreed and signed down here in Court that you will
never pay any other money apart from the $100 ud dollars i tunes card
or Google play card

To this end it will interest you to know that every and any
fee/charges required has been reduced to only the sum of $100 us
dollars i tunes card or Google play card this step is in order to
enable you afford this only fee so that your Tax Clearance Certificate
will procure in your name to enhance the immediate transfer of your

you want to receive your money.

days to affect the required payment so we can clear, release and
