"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:
- "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a "dying widow" 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.

Subject: Hello Pace be with you

I am Mrs Ashly Nilbon, married to Dr. Nilbon Akoma from Ivory
Coast; my late husband was into, Estate management and also a
government building contractor before my husband earlier sickness in
January 25 2007. We were married for eleven years without a child due
to my fibriod problem. He died after a brief illness. Before his death
we deposited the sum of $2.5Million (USD) dollars, we were born again
Christian. Since his death I have decided not to remarry or get a
child outside my matrimonial home. As my Doctor told me that I would
not last for the next Four months due to cancer problem.
>From all indications, my condition is really deteriorating and is
quite obvious that I may not live more than two months, because the
cancer stage has gotten to a very dangerous stage. Having known my
condition I decided to donate this fund to good person that will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.

Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and
Truth, always be prayerful all through your life. Write to me on this
Email:(gabrielajjhn@hotmail.com) immediately and any delay in your
reply will give me room in sourcing another good person; this is why I
am taking this decision to donate this fund for charity. I am not
afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going
to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord
will fight my case and I shall hold my peace". I don't need any
telephone communication in this regard because of my health .My
happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.
Remain blessed in the Lord,

Mrs Ashly Nilbon.
