"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 "dying merchant" scam.
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 Dear.

I have read about you and have decided to write you this letter.

My name is Mrs Annegret Hill from Frankfurt Germany, I have been diagnosed
with Esophageal cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and
right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical
experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really
cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business.

Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people
and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But
now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just
wanting to have or make all the money in the world.

Now that God has called me,I have willed and given most of my property and
assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close
friends . I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have
decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of
the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have Distributed money to some
charity organizations in the U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia.Now that my health
has deteriorated so badly.

I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close
one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity
organizations in Bulgaria and Pakistan,they refused and kept the money to
themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be
content with what I have left for them.

The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of
Seven Million two hundred thousand dollars($7,200,000,00) that I have with
a finance House abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and
dispatch it to charity organizations.

N/B:KINDLY NOTE THAT you will take out 20% of his funds for your effort and
time.
Thanks.
