"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:

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 state 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)
- "united state dollar" (this email uses bad English)
This email message is a next of kin scam.
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.

Dear sir

Mrs Natasha Kabore, I have decided to seek confidential cooperation with
you for the execution of the deal described here under for our mutual
benefit. I Hope you will keep it a secret due to the nature of the
transaction. During the course of our audit last month, I discovered an
unclaimed/abandoned fund totaling US$3.5 million in a bank account that
belongs to a customer who unfortunately lost his life and entire family in
a car accident.

Now our bank has been waiting for any of the relatives to come-up for the
claim but nobody has done that. I personally has been unsuccessful in
locating any of the relatives, now, I sincerely seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin / Will Beneficiary to the deceased so that
the proceeds of this account valued at {US$3.5 Million United State
Dollars} can be paid to you, which we will share in these percentages
ratio, 60% to me and 40% to you. All I request is your utmost sincere co-
operation; trust and maximum confidentiality to achieve this project
successfully. I have carefully mapped out the moralities for execution of
this transaction under a legitimate arrangement to protect you from any
breach of the law both in your country and here in my country when the fund
is being transferred to your bank account.

I will have to provide the entire relevant document that will be requested
to indicate that you are the rightful beneficiary of this legacy and our
bank will release the fund to you without any further delay, upon your
consideration and acceptance of this offer, please send me the following
information as stated below so we can proceed and get this fund transferred
to your designated bank account immediately. I know much about the
existence of this fund and the secrets surrounding this money.

-Your Full Name:
-Your Contact Address:
-Your direct Mobile telephone Number:
-Your Date of Birth:
-Your occupation:

I await your swift response and re-assurance so we commence this
transaction immediately.

Mrs Natasha Kabore.
