"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:
- "consignment " (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.

Good Day!!!!

Don't be so smart, Stop deceiving your-self, But I will still brief
you that you are running out of time because there is no way you will
get your funds since you refused to Register and to respond to our
previous mails,Even if you like you pay money to every body in the
whole world, There is no way you can get your funds or your
consignment too,Because our 24/7 tracking surveillance is monitoring
all your transaction and those you are working with all this while
with those people you called your lawyer or representatives, By the
way what have they done for you just for you to trust them? What have
you gain or get in return in all the transaction these lawyer's or
representative have verify for you? It is only a stupid fool will seek
someone who is younger to be your own child to investigate a
transaction on your behalf, what a shame? Why you never received your
fund yet is that you did not register as a member to IMF
AND CDA Try today.

Just (3) days ago we arrested 14 scammer's who are under the age of
18-54yrs old, impersonating different office in America, due to the
America lawyers they were sentence to 5yrs imprisonment for fraudulent
activities , due to investigation, some of this arrested victim has a
luxurious cars etc. So imagine your money used or spend for women and
beer due to their confessions.

This are some of the reason most of you are ask to be a registered
member to the IMF And CDA which give you 100% security of getting all
your funds within a second. It is only those who are member to the
U.N/U.N.A.O are advice not to make any further payment to us since
they will get their individual documentation both from IMF and the
U.N/U.N.A.O office but investigation will carry out to know if you are
any register member to any of the organization mentioned to you.

But If you are not a member, please kindly pay your IMF and CDA
membership certificate and identification card which will cost you
$100.00 USD SEND it today or fall to do so you will never receive your
fund
I wait to hear from you immediately contact me

immediately without any further delay or stress .
