"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:
- "million united states dollars" (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)
- ",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 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.

Attn: E-mail Beneficiary,

Economic Recovery Fund Donation.

You have been awarded the sum of US$1,000,000 (One Million United States Dollars) as Covid-19 Economic Devastation Recovery Relief.

The global economic recovery is set to decelerate amid continued COVID-19 flare-ups AND other newly discovered viruses across the globe, such as the newly discovered Monkey Pox; the global economy is clouded by various downside risks, including new virus variants, unanchored inflation expectations, and financial stress. If some countries eventually require debt restructuring, the recovery will be more difficult to achieve than in the past as predicted by World Bank economists and social tensions may heighten as a result of the increase in inequality caused by the pandemic. These challenges underscore the need to foster global distribution of funds, enhance debt sustainability and inequality, and diversify economic activity. From the predictions, itâ€™s clear that challenging times lie ahead for the global economy-and particularly for developing countries-as economic stimulus slow and credit conditions tighten.

In that context, the World Bank has allocated a whopping sum of US$1,000,000,000 (One Billion United States Dollars) to be disbursed globally to help in this poverty alleviation and economic recovery program. The funds have been delivered down to distribution points, and currently, secured in a bank in South Africa. Our Payment administrator will help to process and release to you the sum of US$1,000,000 (One Million United States Dollars) to enable you boost your business, financially stabilize your region, help the vulnerable and less-privileged and help stop the spread of the new viruses and itâ€™s variants.
