"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!

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.

GrÃ¼ÃŸe.
Mein Name ist Alice Martin.
Ich bin ein 22-jÃ¤hriges MÃ¤dchen, ein Waisenkind. Meine Eltern sind
gestorben, aber ich habe hier auf einer Bank ungefÃ¤hr (â‚¬ 7.500.000) sieben
Millionen fÃ¼nfhunderttausend Euro, die ich von meinem verstorbenen Vater
Joseph Martin geerbt habe.
Ich mÃ¶chte den Fonds mit Ihrer Zustimmung, Zusammenarbeit,
UnterstÃ¼tzung, Beratung und Hilfe in Ihrem Land anlegen.
Zweitens, bei Ihrer uneingeschrÃ¤nkten Zustimmung, mit mir zu diesem
Zweck zusammenzuarbeiten, bekunden Sie bitte freundlicherweise Ihr
Interesse, indem Sie mir antworten, damit ich Ihnen die erforderlichen
Informationen und Einzelheiten zum weiteren Vorgehen zukommen lassen kann.
Ich bin bereit, Ihnen 20 % des Gesamtbetrags des Geldes bei
der endgÃ¼ltigen Ãœberweisung des Geldes auf Ihr Bankkonto anzubieten.
Warten auf Ihre dringende Antwort.

Meine besten GrÃ¼ÃŸe an Sie und Ihre ganze Familie.
Ich brauche deine Anleitung.
Vielen Dank,
Alice Martin.
