"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:
- "million united state 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)
- "united state of america" (this email uses bad English)
- "united state dollar" (this email uses bad English)
- "dear beneficiary," (this SPAM email was probably sent to thousands of people)
- "courier company" (Courier companies mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. They will have you send money to them, but won't deliver anything. )
- "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
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.

Attention dear beneficiary,

Iâ€™m Mr: Daniel Tiger the new appointed Manager of UPS Office Douglas
Ga United state. On going through the files of the previous records of
this office, I discovered that there are 9parcels containing ATM cards
each one attached with an email address of the owner on it. The former
appointee of this office (Dr.Fred Sanchez) failed to carry out the
delivery as it was instructed and programmed. Probably, one of his
reasons for not carrying out the delivery was because of your Non-
Compliance Of Official Processes and Unbelief Of The Reality Of Your
Genuine Master Card.

According to the content recorded in each file, the ATM card was
deposited by Mr Pierre Frank Laporte the World Bank Director of
Africa. On the statement he wrote on the list, he stated that each of
the aforementioned ATM cards contains the sum of USd$8.8MILLION UNITED
STATE DOLLARS and was supposed to transfer to you through his bank but
due to your unable to finish the process he uploaded the money to
their ATM card and registered with UPS office here in Douglas Ga Head
office,

Meanwhile, I've made the arrangement of posting the 9 parcels through
our UPS fast delivery to the 9 of you to your respective mailing
address Am also sending the same message of the same content to 9 of
you that own the abandoned ATM CARDS each at the same time. If you
found in spam folder, it could be due to your Internet Service
Provider, ISP. So move to your inbox before your reply.

I went to our head office and reported the issue of the discovered 9
ATM cards in my office and they verified it and gave me the veto order
to carry out the delivery immediately you reconfirm your mailing
address to this office in order for us to mail the ATM CARD directly
to you. Note,below information is officially needed for the sending of
the card.

Your full name
Full mailing address
Nearest airport
Cell phone line
Country

I will send your ATM Card once you update us with the above info and
you shall be given a tracking number, that is, the Track and Trace
number of your parcel once it is posted to your mailing address, so as
to enable you track your parcel to know exactly when it will arrive to
your mailing address.

Remain blessed as I'II be looking forward to receiving your immediate
response to my Email:

Regards
Mr:Daniel Tiger
