"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!

- "consignment " (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)
- "diplomatic agent" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "courier service" (Courier companies mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. They will have you send money to them, but won't deliver anything. )
- "abuja" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)

Dear Sir
Good Day! I am Mr Jude Phillip . I am a personal assistant to a popular
Nigeria politician who wishes to move a huge amount of funds overseas. His
tenure will be ending very soon, So he wants to move a huge amount of money
he made during the time he was at seat.
He wants to move this fund via Diplomatic means, so there wouldn't be any
suspicion. We have made an aarrangement with a Diplomatic Agent who will
convey the consignment to your doorstep through the help of a Courier
service.
His intention is to invest the money in a profitable business with your
name, Such as Hotel Management,Farming,Real Estate development Etc,If you
have an idea of any profitable business you can suggest as well.
Do note that your help won't be in vain, You will have 20% of the money.
Note as a politician he doesn't want his name to be mentioned, so it won't
bring a bad image to his political career, that's why he doesn't want this
huge amount of money to pass through bank wire transfer.

Kindly reply to my mail, if you're interested and capable of handling this
proposal.

Thanks & Regards
Mr. Jude Phillip
