"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.

Dearest,

My name is Mrs. Elizabet, a nationality of Angola. I am married to
late Mr. Gunter worked with the Angola embassy in Ivory Coast for nine
and half years before he died in the year of October 2011. We were
married for twenty two years with a child. My Late husband died after
a belief illness that lasted only for Eight days. Before his death we
were both good believer's. When my late husband was alive he deposited
the sum of US$12.5, 000.00 Million with one of good banks in Cote
d'Ivoire.

Presently, This Fund is still with the bank. I have been diagnosed
with Esophageal cancer , Recently my Doctor told me that I would not
last for the next three months due to my cancer stage 4 Problem.
Having known my condition I have decided to donate this Fund to
believer's That will utilize this fund the way i am going to Instruct
here in.

Our daughter is just 15 years old now and has grown up in Africa with
fears, she has low maternity and my husbandâ€™s relatives are not good
believer's and I donâ€™t want my family hard earned money to be misused
by unbelievers because of hurtful things they did to me and my little
daughter. I am presently placed on dialysis check up and will not need
telephone communication most of the time because of my health. They
have sold most of my husbandâ€™s property. I donâ€™t want a situation
where this fund will be used in any way that is not concerned with the
will of the Almighty Creator. Hence the reason for taking this bold
decision. I am not afraid of death any more hence I know where I am
going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom hand of the Almighty
God. I do not want your telephone communication in this regard of my
health but you can speak with my daughter in case you really care to
speak with us.

Please you can also contact me on (lizzywilliamse1@gmail.com) for more details.

May God be with you and Remain blessed,

Yours Mrs. (Elizabeth).
