"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:

The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "required fee " (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "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.

GoodDay and a Happy Prosperous New Year,

This is to remind you that I am still looking forward to hear from you regarding your package worth of $1.2 Million dollars,because there is no way you can receive this fund without you going through the payment procedure to receive your Cash Box delivery without any delay.I know by now you might have saved the $300.00 that was required,please hurry up and do something about it today and get back to me with the payment information.

I am not in a POSITION to raise the fee or loan the money to you .Note,this transaction is for you and it is your duty to raise the required $300.00 needed to finalise this transaction. Note,I am not silent in this transaction,the only thing holding this transaction is FINANCE and I have already detailed everything in my first mail to you.

Now let me Educate you more,the fund in question is yours and not mine and it is your duty to do all the necessary things as advised by my office for your payment delivery. My good friend,let us not ARGUE or DRAG this issue further,even though you don't have the required fee at the moment,I suggest you borrow or look for a SINCERE someone to partner with you on PERCENTAGE LEVEL or SHARE the TOTAL sum with you after successful received your fund.

But if there is a way to raise the money within your reach,then try HARDER to see that this transaction is finalised and settled accordingly as earlier agreed. With the above,we can successfully achieve our target.Think about this very well and know what to do as quickly as possible.This is the best I can suggest now.

If you are okay with my suggestion let me know so that i will give you the information to send out the fee today. As soon as I receive the Above Payment of $300.00 dollars today, However your package delivery has been programmed into our Networking system for onward delivering to your receiving address once the fee is received.

Finally I advised you to do what is necessary by abiding by laws and order and follow the due process. For security reasons you are advised to follow the rules and regulations of this bank for easy release of your fund to you.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Could you please,keep in-touch asap before it is too late.If you are not willing to pay the fee please don't reply.
