"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:
- "hundred thousand united states 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)
- ",500,000" (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)
- "00,000.00" (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.

Ref: Your Long Overdue Compensation Fund

Attention Sir,

We received a report from the United Nations (UN) in conjunction with the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) demanding explanations for the delay of your overdue compensation
fund payment approved by the United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC).

We have investigated this case only to find out that you've been ignorantly
having illegal financial dealings with some online perpetrators who have
taken advantage of your legitimate transaction in our custody in order to
siphon your hard-earned money.

More so, the investigation report suggested that you have furnished your
personal data to the perpetrators and we assume you must have sponsored the
release of this fund but all to no avail; however, there is no cause for
alarm as the investigation has also proved that you have no hand in any
form of financial violation act.

So our office Canadian Consulate Turkey has been mandated by the UN to
monitor your compensation fund remittance at the valuation of $5,500,000.00
(Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) only which will
be released to you by the nominated bank.

Paramount, we advise that you STOP all dealings involving any sort of
financial support to corrupt individuals posing to be from financial
institutions in order to avoid any form of jeopardy in your compensation
fund release process, and be rest assured that you are now dealing with the
rightful authorities.

Be informed that they will guide and assist you to receive the fund from
the bank and make up for your loss.

Kindly get back to us for further instructions on how you will receive your
compensation on our confidential email account: canconist_trk@gazeta.pl

Your urgent response will be highly appreciated to enable us to serve you
better.

Yours Sincerely,
Moretti Richard
