"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)
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.

Good Day:dearest,

I know that this letter will be a surprise to you, I just came across your
email contact from my personal search, Iâ€™m a business man from Uk and I
needed someone that

I can trust with a charity work. I have been Diagnosed with Euphorically
Cancer of the Lungs according to Doctor I will die any moment. I have been
badly treated by

close associates. I have put it in my mind to give out the rest of my Money
to Charity,Now that Iâ€™m ending the race like this,without any family
members and no child,

I have decided to handle over the sum of ($5.5 Million Dollars) that has
been deposited in Us Bank to you for the help of Charity and orphanage
homes/the needy once in

your location to fulfill my wish on earth.You may be wondering why I choose
you.But someone lucky has to be chosen according to the revelation I heard
after my prayers

today.

I don't trust all the Monks here in Uk after the Gay scandal. I want you to
Distribute these Funds to people that need it. I am 74yrs old and really
Blessed with

fortunes. I will wait here for your Response before I go ahead and inform
my Lawyer about my intentions.I work with USA Government and I also have
invested a lot they

and build my businesses they too, I want you to know that before handing
over my Attorney data's to you, kindly assure me that you will take only
50% of the money and

share the rest to orphanage homes/ Charity the needy once, respond quickly
to enable me forward you the Attorney contact details now that I have
access to internet

before it will be too late as the bank is aware of my decision over the
fund and awaiting for whom I will instruct to contact them for their
confirmation, Because at

this stage if no one apply for the money it will go to bank treasury
because i don't know my fate and they will not use it to help the needy
once to fulfill my wish.
