"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 fake company names, fake addresses, non-existent institutions/documents or other details have appeared in scams before:
- "diplomatic immunity"
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "your urgent reply" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
- "need for confidentiality" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
- "can i trust you?" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "diplomatic immunity" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "diplomatic courier" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "courier company" (Courier companies mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. They will have you send money to them, but won't deliver anything. )
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Subject: GOOD DAY

take your time to read and understand this email as it contains
the details of plans and requirements to conclude this venture. Thanks
for your response to my email requesting your assistance. Most
importantly I do not want this money to go through banks around here,
It will not be safe for us, I have a very good, trusted and reliable
diplomatic courier contact used mostly by our forces in Jordan, that
can send goods easily through diplomatic and private military way, to
anywhere in the world, without them being checked at any port of
entry.

We must keep a low profile as a result of the amount in question. I
need your help, you just have to follow my instructions. The fund in
question was realized from oil proceeds," Oil money" as fundly
referred to by the merchants out here.

I can make arrangement to deliver the Candy's (funds) to any address
of your choice. The baggage will be tagged diplomatic documents, and
the courier company, will not know the contents of the boxes. A few
friends have used this means without being checked because of the
diplomatic immunity they enjoy. Their charges are moderate, I will
negotiate a way out from this end, till it gets to your door step and
I will follow up immediately and meet with you for disbursement after
you have received it.

I am sure you will know the best way to handle this money (Funds) for
us when it gets to your base. Please let me have an address where you
want them to deliver the Candy's. As soon as I get it, I will start
making arrangements to ship at once. If we are lucky and fast enough,
we can conclude this within the next one week.

I will send the total since I can not keep cash on me. But can I trust
you? Once the funds get to you, you take your 30% and keep our 70%.
Your own part is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to.
Ours is sending it to you. What do you do for a living? are you
Married with kids? can you handle this funds ? We need to build
trust!!

It's just me and a colleague that knows about this transaction from
this end, so try and keep this between the parties involved.
If you are not capable of handling this huge sum, don't allow me to
ship. I can find other means of dealing with it, as we have done
everything possible to make this a reality from this end. Don't let me
down.

Keep in mind at all time the need for confidentiality and absolute
secrecy before we conclude this transaction. Phone conversation is not
a safe measure in this endeavor. Remember to keep our secret. I cannot
call you on the phone or receive fax, as I am not always in the office
as a result of my operational schedule. Hope you are ok with this?
Everything must be done by email. Will you still help? I need your
urgent reply in this regard.

Thanks and God bless.

Yours.
Sgt.JUDE HARRISON
