"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.
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.

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.

dÅ¯leÅ¾itou dohodu.

ÃšÄet v mÃ© bance otevÅ™el jeden z mÃ½ch zÃ¡kaznÃkÅ¯ na jmÃ©no MR. THOMAS BAHIA
holandskÃ½ stÃ¡tnÃ pÅ™ÃsluÅ¡nÃk z NÄ›mecka, kterÃ½ sloÅ¾il fixnÃ vklad ve vÃ½Å¡i 11
500 000,00 $ (jedenÃ¡ct milionÅ¯, pÄ›t set tisÃc americkÃ½ch dolarÅ¯) a uÅ¾ se
nikdy neobjevil, a pozdÄ›ji jsem zjistil, Å¾e zemÅ™el se vÅ¡emi svÃ½mi rodinnÃ½mi
pÅ™ÃsluÅ¡nÃky pÅ™i leteckÃ©m neÅ¡tÄ›stÃ, ke kterÃ©mu doÅ¡lo v Libyi 12. kvÄ›tna 2010
a nÃÅ¾e je odkaz pro vÃ¡Å¡ nÃ¡zor ..

NynÃ chci pÅ™edstavit cizince jako blÃzkÃ©ho pÅ™ÃbuznÃ©ho zesnulÃ©ho Thomase,
abychom mohli uplatnit nÃ¡rok a pokud mÃ¡te zÃ¡jem, kontaktujte mÄ›, abych vÃ¡m
mohl poskytnout podrobnÄ›jÅ¡Ã informace o tÃ©to transakci. O sdÃlenÃ penÄ›z se
bude dÄ›lit v pomÄ›ru 50% pro mÄ›, 40% pro vÃ¡s a 10% na pokrytÃ naÅ¡ich vÃ½dajÅ¯
po uzavÅ™enÃ obchodu.

CelkovÃ¡ ÄÃ¡stka, kterÃ¡ mÃ¡ bÃ½t pÅ™evedena, je nynÃ 12,2 milionu USD kvÅ¯li
ÃºrokÅ¯m, kterÃ© fond nashromÃ¡Å¾dil od roku 2010.

ZajistÄ›te, aby toto absolutnÄ› dÅ¯vÄ›rnÃ© poÄasÃ mÄ›lo zÃ¡jem nebo ne.
