"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:
- ",000,000" (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)
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: NOCL OIL LICENSE

Good Morning,

Please permit me to introduce myself. I am MR ANTHONY KUJA. I am an expert
and specialist in the oil industry as an independent Feasibility/Project
Management Consultant to oil refineries and other oil industries in
Southern African, East Africa and some parts of Asia. Our mandate includes
identifying specific licensed crude oil export/ marketing firms and
recommending these firms to the oil refineries for supply of crude oil to
the refineries.

On my desk is a mandate from one of the refineries to arrange for crude oil
purchase from Libya for up to 2,000,000 barrels on monthly bases for 12
calendar months. The essence of my reaching out to you is the fact that I
am in the process of building a middle man structure to mediate between the
2 parties involved before the contract is signed. You may be wondering why
I cannot do it by myself right? The honest fact is that as a consultant to
these oil refineries, we are not allowed to act as suppliers of crude oil
to them as well, hence the reason I need a trustworthy person outside my
work circle in order to maintain a discreet profile.

I wish to extend this partnership to you my friend to build a middle man
structure with you, while I work from the back to guide you. Our
commission/brokerage as middle persons is between $2 - $3 per barrel as
case may be. So if the target of 2M barrels is met monthly we stand to
share $4M - $6M every month for a span of 12 months with possible extension.

Worry less about the speedy sales as I have contacts within oil producing
country's top officials for license of crude oil export/lifting to any firm
I present for this business. Therefore if you are able to handle this
transaction with honesty and integrity, you should come back to me
immediately for more details. Your urgent response is highly needed and you
can reach me on the following email address below

Regards.
