"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:

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:
- ",500,000" (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)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

Hello,
Greetings to you in the name of God Almighty. I am former Mrs. Memunat
Farouk Hasan, now I am Mrs. Mizita JESSE a widow to Late HASSAN JESSE.
I am an old woman; suffering from cancer. From all indications, my
condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not
live long, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage.
My late husband died in an air crash on the 31st October 1999 in an
Egyptian airline Boeing 990 with other passengers on board. You can
confirm this fact from the website which was aired by the BBC WORLD
NEWS:(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm) and my
only daughter died in LONDON BOMB ATTACK.
My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all
his business and wealth. My personal physician told me that I may not
live for so long and I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to
divide part of this wealth, by contributing to the well being of less
privileged people and handicapped in the society of world America,
Canada, Africa, Europe and Asian Countries.
This mission, who will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently
relocate to Africa where I live presently. I selected you for this
Purpose and prayed over it, I am willing to donate the sum of
$27,500,000.00 to you for the development and well being of
handicapped in the society and also as aids for the less privileged
around your country, and i have map out $1,700.000.00 for your own
personal use to help me in this work.
Please contact me for more details.
Jesse Mizita
