"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:
- "inheritance funds" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- ",500,000" (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)
- "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)
- "fund beneficiary" (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)

have discovered that you are pursuing too many transactions in
internet in which all are failing you after wasting too much money in
pursuing them , some of these transactions are FAKE and Some are REAL
but the reason you have not received any fund is because your name is
in US.BLACKLIST which makes it impossible for you to send money out
and also receive your inheritance funds out of the country or within,
so it is better you stop wasting your money in the name of receiving
your inheritance funds until your name is removed from the BLACKLIST
and enter into the US.WHITELIST, blacklist is a list of people or
groups regarded as unacceptable or untrustworthy and often marked down
for exclusion or blocked from receiving huge amount of funds outside
the country or within the country.

Above all, you are obliged to pay the sum of $50, Steam Wallet Card
for the insurance of removing your name from the blacklist but please

that we shall transfer your total fund $3,500,000.00, into your Bank
