"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:
- "million 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)
- "% will be for you" (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)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
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.

Ich bin Frau Samira Mohamed,
Hallo Freund, ich arbeite in der United Bank for Africa (BOA) hier in
BURKINA FASO. Ich mÃ¶chte Ihnen eine aufgegebene Summe von 27,5
Millionen USD per ATM VISA CARD Ã¼berweisen. 50% sind fÃ¼r Sie. Kein
Risiko verbunden. Die (UBA) Bank wurde von vielen afrikanischen
Politikern verwendet, um Gelder (die Politiker erbeuteten Ã¼ber 5
Milliarden US-Dollar) auf ihre Auslandskonten umzuleiten, und sie
machten sich nicht die MÃ¼he zu wissen, wie viel Ã¼berwiesen wurde, weil
die Gelder dem "Staat" gehÃ¶rten, der Aus diesem Grund habe ich mich
auch entschlossen, die Summe von 27,5 Millionen Dollar, die sich noch
lange Zeit in meiner Obhut bei unserer Bank befindet, aufzulÃ¶sen! Ich
muss Ihnen alle erforderlichen Richtlinien geben, damit Sie keinen
Fehler machen. Wenn Sie in der Lage sind, die Transaktion abzuwickeln
Kontaktieren Sie mich fÃ¼r weitere Details. Bitte antworten Sie mir an
meine alternative E-Mail-Adresse (mrssamiramohamed505050@gmail.com)
Frau Samira Mohamed
