"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.
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#

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that we have completed a thorough investigation into a transaction, or should we say, a contract, that we conducted with a Libyan oil corporation. We are therefore trusting that you will assist us in receiving a contract sum of US$ 68,760,000.00.

We conducted a crude oil supply deal through HAN Oil Angola based on a license issued by the Libyan Oil Cooperation, but we later discovered that the permit holder was not its rightful owner.

Please do not ignore this communication.

Angola's HAN Oil is required to report any unclaimed funds for permanent closure. Being an executive in the Crude Oil & Products Trading Division of HAN Oil Angola, I have access to all necessary information and contacts to ensure that the funds can be recovered without any trouble.

HAN Oil Angola has deposited funds in escrow in anticipation of receiving legitimate claims for disbursement. Since I was fortunate enough to acquire this information, I believe it could be the key to achieving lifetime success without taking any risks. I can be reached via private email at jjosvu@gmail.com,

I will not disclose any further information until we receive confirmation that we are in communication with the appropriate party.

I look forward to your prompt response.

Sincerely,

Jean Ruwa Josvu
