"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.

Greetings,

I am writing to you based on your good profile. Please, I need your
assistance to invest in a profitable business in your country, I believe
that I have to partner with a citizen with experience to be safe in
investing in your country.

My name is Mrs. Safana Majeed, My late husband deals in Crude Oil with the
Federal Government of Sudan and we have a personal Oil firm in Bentiu Oil
zone town and Upper Nile city. What I have experience physically, I don't
wish to experience it again in my life due to the recent civil and Ethnic
crises caused by our President Mr. Salva Kiir and the rebel leader Dr. Riek
Machar, I have been Under United Nation refugee camp in Chad to save my
life and that of my little daughter. I want to solicit for your partnership
with trust to transfer and invest the $8 million dollars deposited by my
late husband to your country because my life is no longer safe in our
country, since the rebels are looking for the families of all the oil
business men in the country to kill, saying that they are the people that
is milking the country dry.

Though, I do not know how you will feel about my proposal, but the truth is
that I sneaked into Chad, our neighboring country. I escaped with my little
daughter when the rebels burst into our house and killed my husband as one
of the big oil dealers in the country, ever since then, I have been on the
run.

I left my country and move to Chad our neighboring country with the little
ceasefire we had, due to the face to face peace meeting accord coordinated
by the former US Secretary of State, and United Nations in Ethiopia (Addis
Ababa) between our President Mr. Salva Kiir and the rebel leader Dr. Riek
Machar to stop this war.

I will send you the recent statement of account and the other documents of
the fund with bank details for your acknowledgement and prove.

I will wait to hear from you so as to give you details.

You can contact me on my private email:
safanamajeed72@gmail.com

With love from

Mrs. Safana
