"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:

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:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- ",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)
- "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Subject: Please Dear, I need your help to invest in your country,

Assalamu Alaikum! Dear friend,

I'm sending you my special greeting of partnership mutuality from the
city of Omani

It's just a day of getting in touch with someone either physically or
through correspondence. I got your email address by chance while doing
a hectic Google web search. I have chosen to consider you my partner
and I need your consent to stand on my behalf as my project /
investment manager / partner.

My name is Aisha Gaddafi from Libya, the only daughter of the former
President of Libya, the late Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. My beloved
Husband (late Colonel Ahmed al-Qahsi) was killed along with my
fatherduring the civil war and I have three (3) children with him.

"Twenty-seven million five hundred thousand dollars" ($ 27,500,000.00)
mutual funds are available. I need a trusted person to work with to
invest the funds on my behalf as a manager. My current asylum status
here in Omani has restricted my freedom to manage investments
myself.However, I am interested in you for the support of an
investment project in your country, possibly from there, we can
establish business relations in the near future.

I am ready to negotiate with you an investment / profit sharing ratio
based on future investment returns.

If you are ready to work on this project on my behalf, please respond
urgently so that I can provide you with more information on mutual
fund clearance.

Your urgent response to my private email (aishagaddfi019@firemail.de ) will be
appreciated

Thanks and Remain blessed .

Mrs Aisha Al-Qaddafi
