"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:
- "to your nominated bank account" (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)
- ",500,000" (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)
- "00,000.00" (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)
- "dear beneficiary," (this SPAM email was probably sent to thousands of people)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

all outstanding payments accrued to individuals or corporations with
respect to local and overseas contract payment, debt rescheduling and
outstanding compensation payment. This is to make sure all outstanding
payments are settled beginning this fiscal year 2022.

I have your file here in my office and it says that you are yet to
receive your fund valued at US$36,500,000.00 (Thirty Six Million Five
hundred thousand Dollars only). These Funds will now be transferred to
your nominated bank account or your preferred payment option. You are

Please do provide the above information accurately, because this

or liability of funds credited into an unknown bank account. As soon
as the above mentioned details are received, your payment will be made
to you immediately, I am very sorry for the delay you have gone
through in the past years. Thanks for adhering to this instruction and
once again accepting my congratulations in advance.
