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

I am Mrs. Husni Lutfi, suffering from cancerous ailment. I was married to Late.Sir. Viktor stokke ,a Norwegian business tycoon notable for his great charitable activities before his death in March 24th,2021 from covid-19 related illness,When my late husband was alive, he deposited the sum of six Million ,five hundred thousand Us dollars ($6,500,000.00 USD) and 999Kg of 23 Karat Gold ;which were derived from his vast estates and Gold export investment with a Bank and named me as the beneficiary of this trust fund. (All records are kept with our family lawyer).
Presently, this money is still with the Bank. My Doctor told me recently, that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems that I have been suffering from,Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition with the Cancer and convid 19 ailment. With this hard predicament that has befallen me, I have decided to donate this fund to YOU and i want you to use this gift which comes from my Late husbands effort to establish a charity home for the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husband hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures, or should i will the money to my pet which i do not know his whereabouts after my Late husband death, My late friend named Mrs. Leona Helmsley willed 12 Million US dollars to her pet, you can check from this link below to understand me more better

I cannot do this because caring for fellow human beings is Godly act rather than caring for pet, This is among the reasons why I took this bold decision so that i can inherit heaven. Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated Herein.
Hope to hear from you soon to enable me to process the transfer of the funds from my bank account to you.

Remain Blessed,
Mrs. Berta Husni Lutfi.
