"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.
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.

Hello. I am Mrs. Evelyn Johnson. I am married to Mr Johnson from Germany. I=
am 60 years old and have had breast cancer for a long time. Indeed, from a=
ll of the medical signs and reports, my condition is very serious and is ge=
tting worse. Of course, due to the rapid growth and the pain that results f=
rom it, I will live no less than six months. My husband died during the cor=
ona pandemic (Covid-19). We have been married for many years and have no ch=
ildren. My husband is very wealthy and owns a gas and oil well worth millio=
ns of dollars. My doctor has already diagnosed and privately told me what t=
o expect and has built my mind for the inevitable. He said that I might not=
last more than six months, after which I decided to share some of his mone=
y and property to help develop the church and society, which is mainly focu=
sed on the poor and needy and the victims of HIV / AIDS. I chose you after =
visiting the website and praying for it. I am ready to donate 12.5 million =
euros (12.5 million euros) to church development work to help the poor and =
needy in the church and the social minorities.Please note that this money h=
as been deposited in the bank of the country / region where my husband work=
s. In accordance with my application and my instructions, my lawyer will ap=
ply for the money to be transferred using the name and information you have=
provided. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the =
communion of the Holy Spirit be with you. In conclusion, I sincerely urge y=
ou to ensure that these funds are only used for this purpose. You can agree=
with me, and these are the demands of a dying woman in the Lord. I now rea=
lize that the riches of life and not in Christ is empty and meaningless. Al=
ways keep that in mind. May God's grace and blessings be with you. I'll wai=
t for your response. mrs. Evelyn Johnson. Please reply to my email inbox: m=
