"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:
- ",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.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.
- +2348032871578 (Nigeria, prepaid mobile phone)
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.

Hello

I am Raymond Abbas, popularly known as Hush Puppy, I am an internet
fraudster and I have been doing this job of scamming people for the
past 22 years, I made over $750 Billion over the years with all kind
of expensive cars, houses and living extremely rich life, I made so
much money from scamming people but now, I realized that nothing good
last forever and no amount of money can buy life, I have been
hospitalized for months on a life supporting machine over lung cancer
and my doctor said i have just less than 72 hours on this earth.

Yesterday my pastor visited me at the hospital and while he was
praying, he told me to confess my sins unto God and ask for
forgiveness of sin, I confessed to my pastor on how I used to scam
people and how I made over $750 Billion from defrauding people
through internet then my pastor said that I need to give all those
money and properties away especially to those I defrauded but
unfortunately, most of the people I defrauded are late now but I have
decided to split all those money to everyone found on my computer
contacts.

On my computer contact list, i was able to select some names and
email of people that had unfinished transaction with me in the past
and if you received this email today, its your lucky day, As i have
decided to give away the sum of $1million each to any name or email
found on my computer hard dick as my pastor has already said, I need
to return all those money to people all over the world then before my
prayers will be answered and my sins forgiven.

This money was deposited with my bank (FIRSTBANK OF NIGERIA ) I have
given all rights to my pastor, the only person i trusted to handle
this payment on my behalf as i might not be alive in the next 72hours
said my doctors so, I have given all the power/rights over this fund
to my pastor and if you received this email today, please hurry now
and contact my pastor for your $1million compensation from me. so
please kindly contact my pastor with below details.

NAME â€¦.. PASTOR FRANCIS EZE OF LIVING FAITH CHURCH OF GOD

TEL: +2348032871578

EMAIL: pastorfrankeze206@gmail.com

Please you have to contact my pastor immediately for your compensation
fund of $1,000,000,00 from me and also find it in your heart to
forgive me and if this is all I have to do for God to have mercy on my
soul and forgive me then am ready and willing to give away all the
money and the properties besides, what is the need of money, luxury
cars and houses when you donâ€™t have a life, its better I return all
this money rather than leaving it at the bank for those corrupts bank
managers or even the government to take over all my assets when am
gone so please, you have to contact my pastor for your fund and do
remember to forgive my mistakes as am not sure if I will still be
alive for the next 48 hours just like my doctors said.
