"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.
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.

Bok,

Samo Å¾elim iskoristiti ovu malu priliku da vas obavijestim o svom
uspjehu u transferu. TrenutaÄno sam u Indiji radi ulaganja s dijelom
svog udjela, nakon Å¡to sam zavrÅ¡io transfer s indijskim poslovnim
Äovjekom. Ali posjetit Ä‡u vaÅ¡u zemlju sljedeÄ‡e godine. Nakon zavrÅ¡etka
mog projekta ovdje u Indiji. Molimo kontaktirajte moju tajnicu da vam
poÅ¡alje (ATM) karticu na koju sam veÄ‡ pripisao iznos (300.000,00
eura). Samo je kontaktirajte da vam pomogne u primanju (ATM) kartice.
Sve sam joj objasnio prije mog putovanja u Indiju. To je ono Å¡to mogu
uÄiniti za vas buduÄ‡i da niste mogli sudjelovati u prijenosu, ali zbog
Äinjenice da ste vi osoba koju sam u poÄetku kontaktirao za prijenos.
OdluÄio sam dati ovo (300.000,00 eura). kao kompenzaciju za prvotno
kontaktiranje radi prijenosa. Uvijek pokuÅ¡avam napraviti razliku u
ophoÄ‘enju s ljudima kad god doÄ‘em u kontakt s njima. TakoÄ‘er pokuÅ¡avam
pokazati da sam sasvim drugaÄija osoba od drugih Äija unutarnja svrha
moÅ¾da ima drugaÄiju svrhu. Vjerujem da Ä‡ete mi pomoÄ‡i kada budem
posjetio vaÅ¡u zemlju, za joÅ¡ jednu investiciju tamo. Dakle,
kontaktirajte moju tajnicu za karticu, njen kontakt je sljedeÄ‡i,

Puno ime: gÄ‘a, Jovita Dumuije,
DrÅ¾ava: Burkina Faso
E-mail: jovitadumuije@gmail.com

Hvala i nadam se dobroj korporaciji s vama u buduÄ‡nosti.

Godwin Peter,
