"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:
- "a security company " (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "the consignment" (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)
- "consignment " (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)
- "million us 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)
- "million 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)

Greeting to you,

Am. Glenn Wilcock , Am Sergeant in the Ukraine Army presently serving
in Ukraine Military Forrest camp as a combat instructor, I sincerely
apologize for intruding into your privacy, this might come as a
surprise to you, but nothing is more distressing to me at this time as
i find myself forced by events beyond my control, i have summoned
courage to contact you. Am 54 years old man am a widower and I had a
son who is now 11 years of age.

Some money in various currencies where discovered in barrels at a farm
house in Ukraine here during a rescue operation in the War , and it
was agreed by Staff Sergeant Anatoly Reznikov and myself that some
part of these money will be shared between both of us, I was given a
total sum of($3.5 Million US Dollars) as my own share , I kept this
money in a consignment for a while with a security Company which i
declared and deposit as my personal effects and it has been secured
and protected by one of the Delivery Company Service.

Now, the WAR in Ukraine is not over yet, and all possible problems
that could have emanated from the shared money has been totally
cleaned up and all file closed, all that was discovered in the Kherson
Ukraine is no more discussed, am now ready to retire from active
services by the end of this month, but, i need a trustworthy person
that can help me to take possession of this funds and keep it safe
while i work on my vacation letter to join you so that we could
discuss possible business partnership together with the money.

But I tell you what! No compensation can make up for the risk we are
taken with our lives. You can confirm the genuineness of the findings
by clicking on this YouTube..:

Iâ€™m seeking your kind assistance to move the sum of US$3.5 Million
Dollars to you as far as I can be assured that the money will be safe
in your care until I complete my service here in (Ukraine Military
Forrest camp). The most important thing is; â€œCan I Trust youâ€?,we
officers on ACTIVE DUTY we are not allowed to have access to money
camera and phone , therefore, i have declared the content of the
consignment as personal effect that i would like to deliver to a
friend. You will be rewarded with 30% of this fund for your help; all
that i required is your trust between us till the money get to you.

Sincerely,
Sergeant. Glenn Wilcock.
