"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:

Subject: Notification Reminder Of Your Funds From NedBank Benin Republic

Dear Email Beneficiary Funds,

To be very sincere and honest with you, it has been quite unfortunate and
very much painful to me that you have not been able to receive your fund
successfully till now. It is very disheartening to me that you have not yet
been able to receive the fund $4.5M which is long over due to be paid to
you till now.

I am sincerely sorry for this very unexpected, unpleasant and unappreciated
delay and any inconveniences you incurred already in the process. It has
always been my sincere desire to ensure that you must receive your fund
$4.5M successfully and at the most possible shortest time.

It could be termed as a result of the malicious acts of few dishonest and
dubious officials who wanted to extort money from you and fraudulently work
against your interest that made the transfer of your fund to have taken
this long and the fund still not yet successfully received by you till now.

However, in my sincere quest to ensure maximum success in this transaction,
and in order to forestall any further atrocious act against your interest
in this matter, I have made an arrangement with the help of the minister of
finance of Benin Republic to transfer the fund $4.5M to your bank account
successfully through Nedbank online fund transfer.

Consequently, your total fund $4.5M has been successfully transferred to
Nedbank for immediate transfer to your bank account. The good news is that
the cost of the transaction from the Nedbank is much less expensive for you
to afford and the processes are also much easier and less cumbersome.

You are hereby required as a matter of urgency to contact the Nedbank on
the below contact details and apply for immediate online
transfer of your $4.5M to your bank account now;
