"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 united states 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)
- ",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)
- "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
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.

I am Mrs. Lisa Milner, 61yrs old from MÃ¶nchengladbach Germany and I am
diagnosed
with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) and my Doctor told me that my Life
is now short-lived due to the damage the cancer has done to me. I am
presently in Luxembourg receiving treatment in a private hospital. Am
contacting you to entrust my fixed deposit income values (FIFTEEN MILLION
UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) (US$15,000,000.00) with a financial institution
abroad to you, so that through you this fund can be made available to
reputable charity organizations around the world. I lost my entire family
in a plane crash while flying to New York for a cruise. Now the world does
not mean much to me.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/859479.stm

However, this fund must be used to make a positive impact around the world.
Please do disburse through donations to charity organizations providing
relief
and emergency services to victims of cancer, homeless children and orphanage
homes.

Finally, I want you to contact my servant with this information below:

Servant Paul Beth
Address: KurfÃ¼rstendamm 92, Greifswald, Germany.
Email paulgbetooo@gmail.com

He will direct you to a well known lawyer that I have appointed to him, the
lawyer will assist you to change the documents of the money to your name to
enable the bank to transfer the money to you.

This is the favor I need when you have gotten the money :-

(1) Give 25% of the money to my servant Paul Beth as he has been there for
me
through my illness and I have promised to support him in life.

(2) Give 40% of the money to handicap people and charity organizations,
then the The remaining 35% is yours.If I don't hear from you, I will look
for another person.
Please do not forget to contact Paul Beth

May Almighty God bless you and use you to accomplish my wish.

Pray for me always.
Mrs Lisa Milner

Thank you and remain blessed.

Yours Sincerely
Mrs. Lisa Milner.
