"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:
- "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)
- "united state dollar" (this email uses bad English)
- "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.
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.

My residential address is 169 Cherokee St Denver, CO 80223, US and my email is p_wallter01@hotmail.com I am one of those who fell victim to a scam in Africa two years ago. I have lost over US$96,000 United State Dollars in the past few years.

I have been trying to get my money all to no avail and they always stopped my money with one reason or the order. So I decided to fly down to the United Nations Compensation Payment Center in New York where all scam victims' payments are to be paid to their respective owners all over the world.

When I got to New York, I met Mrs. Willinfred kingsley, who explained everything to me that those peopel that we are currently dealing with us are all fake, that he appreciated me coming down to New York to see things for myself, which was the best option.

She took me to the paying bank for the claim of my compensation payment and it was paid to me successfully. Right now I am the happiest man on earth because I have finally received my compensation payment of US$900,000.00 Moreover, Mrs. Willinfred kingsley, showed me the files containing the email contacts of those that are yet to receive their compensation payment and this was how I came across your email contact.

Please take note that the total Money I paid after I met with Mrs. Willinfred kingsley, was $950.00 for the funds release order clearance from the paying bank and the funds was release totally release to me without any delays or further payment from any office.
