"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:
- "fund beneficiary" (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)
- "courier service" (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.
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.

Subject: Dear Fund Beneficiary,

Your abandoned ATM Visa Card valued sum of US$10.500,000,00

Address: 14404 Baltimore Avenue,Laurel,MD20707 ,

Dear Fund Beneficiary,

This is the 3rd time I am sending you this notification letter
regarding your abandoned ATM Visa Card valued sum of US$10.500,000,00
and I have not received any positive response from you or making a
suggestion on how you wish to receive your ATM Card. Once again; I am
Mr Daniel J Schrider ,the new director ATM Head of Operation Sandy
Spring United Bank I resumed to this office on the 18th of April 2019
and during my official research I discovered an abandoned ATM Master
card valued sum of $10.500,000,00 belonging to you as the rightfully
intimate beneficiary.

I tried to know why this card has not been released to you but I was
told by the Access Bank management that the former director ATM head
of operation who left this office some months ago withheld your card
for his own personal use without knowing that his evil plans towards
diverting your fund will be discovered.

Now that your ATM Visa card is still available and ready for your
receiving, therefore you can come down here to our bank to pick up
your card direct from my office or alternatively it can be arranged
ship to your address through any registered reliable courier service
company that you will take care of the courier charge, hope it is
cleared and accepted by you?

I donâ€™t know the courier cost of shipping the card to you but if you
permit me and accept the terms, then I can make an inquiry from the
courier shipping company to find out the cost, but in that case you
will be required to forward to me your address where you want to
receive the card to enable me find out the shipping cost to your
location.

Your direct telephone number and address and name will be needed and
more details of your ATM card payment will be made known to you as
soon as I receive your swift positive response.

Thanks for your cooperation and I wait for your kind positive
response. Reply me back through this e-mail address:
( sandyspringbankunited@gmail.com
)

Yours sincerely,
Mr. Daniel J Schrider,
