"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.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- ",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)
- "is 100% risk free" (almost true for the criminal trying to scam you - arrests of online criminals are rare)
- "diplomatic courier" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "courier service" (Courier companies mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. They will have you send money to them, but won't deliver anything. )
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.

Subject: Dear Sir,

Dear Sir,

I'm glad you read this email . Thank you!

Can I invest my fund 15,000,000 (Fifteen million Euros ) in your
country through you as my partner? The money is from a clean, clear
and reliable oil source from Syria where I serve as the commander of
United Armed Forces for rescues and peace keeping missions.

Through the news and internet, I heard that Real Estate business is
growing rapidly in your country, so I decided to contact you for an
investment partnership instead of sending the money to terrorists in
syria . If Real Estate business is not profitable enough and you have
Knowledge of business in the following sectors: Land, Real
Estate(Residential and Commercial), Farming , Tourism, Stock
speculation, Film Industries, Mining, Oil, Transportation and Tobacco
or a solid background and idea of making good profit in any business,
we can invest the funds.

Furthermore, I'm an Italian and a high ranking intelligence officer.
For that reason, I have a 100% authentic means of transferring the
money through any diplomatic courier service or European banks which
will trigger no alarm about its destination. I just need your
acceptance and the rest will be done by me.
I do not know for how long we will remain here in Syria, and I have
survived two suicide bomb attacks since I resumed duty as the
commander, which prompted me to reach out for help because I will be
migrating to your country to start a new life with the investment you
will set up, not as a soldier anymore but a business tycoon. More so I
want you to assist me on the safety of this investment fund because
the fund is no longer safe where I kept it due to the high level of
attacks we do have here.

If you will accept to work with me as my partner in your country, We
will discuss your percentage share which will serve as your benefit
for being my honest, truest and trusted partner. Please if this
proposal is acceptable by you, kindly respond back to me and we shall
discuss the conditions and terms and your share percentage ASAP.

I want to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and
movement of funds to you will be confidential so that nobody will
break the law or trace it. Think about it and get back to me within
24 hours for more details. But you must keep all information between
you and I alone for security reasons because I am still in active
military service. Kindly get back to me via my private email address.

Best Regards
Capt.E.Kingsley
Italian Army Syria.
