"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.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Hello Fund Beneficial,

I am contacting you based on the official mandate we received from the
United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC) to pay compensation to
successful claimants. In the course of review and evaluation, it was
observed that your email address is listed as one of the scam victims to
be compensated with â‚¬885,065.00 â‚¬uros.

Also in execution of this mandate, we have obtained a Certificate of
Legality for the transmission of this approved payment fund to your account
. The certificate has been obtained in your name to legalize the fund in
your country's legal system. I am contacting you now because we have
instructed the authorized paying bank (Nevada Global Bank) to take
immediate action.

Youâ€™ll need to provide the following information if truly that you have
been scammed.

1. Passport photograph and signature:
2. Any valid means of identification (passport, driver's license, national
identity card):
3. You'll have to pay $73.10 to file your claim. The fee must be paid
before the transmission of the fund.

Please, do not reply if you have already been compensated!

Faithfully
Andrea Enria- President |Payment Supervisory Board.
