"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 phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "million 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)
- ",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.

Hello,

NOTE: The most important thing about the card is that you do not have to pay back after use, after your order, there would be a universal Blank Credit ATM card generated / activated funded with the amount you would request, we will deliver the card to you within 3 working days and you will have access to the money from any ATM in your area.

If you already have a credit card we can fund it with the amount you want after confirming your credit card limit. Funding of cards starts from $420 depending on the amount you want. but if you have no credit card you have to pay for the buying and shipping of the card.

Here is the price list for ATM cards:
Equilibrium price

1. $ 50,000 --------------- $ 585

2. $ 100,000 ............... $ 1,100

3. $ 250,000 ............. ..$ 1,400

4. $ 400,000 --------------- $ 1,700

5. $ 700,000 ------------- $ 1,980

6. $1,000,000 ------------- $ 2,300

7. $ 2,000,000 ------------- $ 2,900

Please choose an appropriate option for you, then we can start and load the exact amount into the card.

If your monthly income is less than four hundred thousand dollars ($ 400,000), then a two million dollars (2,000,000) card is not recommended for you.

Thank you,
Judith Ventura
