"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 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 My Dear.

   How are you doing today? I hope you are doing fine.

Please, bear with me; this is RevDaline Pierre. The Rev who witnessed how the inheritance money was offered to you by this late cancer woman.

    Well, I know you must have been emailing me but the message will not go through due to the Problem I have with my private email, I was hacked by internet hackers who want to claim this money because they know that the woman who left this money with this bank is dead already.

    They hacked into my private email trying to hack the transaction which you and I are into, so I have to inform yahoo to close my email and also informed the bank not to release the money to anybody, meanwhile it will not be release to anybody because when the woman was about to gave up she place the money on (High Security Priorities) on your email address which means that no third party will have access to the money without the real beneficiary which is you.

   So please I will advise you to email me back with this very email address, so that I will go ahead and give the bank instruction to release the money as you have chosen,
