"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:
- "will come to you as a surprise" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- ",000,000" (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)
- "urgent assistance" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
This email message is a next of kin scam.

Subject: i have all the details you need

Greetings,

I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise as we have never met
before, but need not to worry as I am contacting you independently of my
investigation and no one is informed of this communication.I need your
urgent assistance in transferring the sum of $35,000,000.00 USD immediately
to your private account.The money has been here in our Bank lying dormant
for 2 years now without anybody coming for the claim of it.I want to
release the money to you as a relative to our deceased customer (the
account owner) who died along with his supposed NEXT OF kin because of
covid-19 .

The Banking laws here do not allow such money to stay more than 5 years,
because the money will be recalled to the Bank treasury account as an
unclaimed fund.By indicating your interest I will send you the full details
on how the business will be executed.

Please respond urgently and delete if you are not interested.

Best Regards,
Mr. Andrew Kabore
