"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:
- "johnloanfirm2@gmail.com" (This email address looks like addresses used in fake loan scams. Be suspicious of any lender who uses a free webmail address or who is based in different country from yourself.)
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.
- johnloanfirm2@gmail.com (email address has been used in a known fraud before)

Hallo zusammen, mein Name ist NORAH LIAM, ich komme aus Luzern, Schweiz,
und bin hier, um zu bezeugen, wie ich mein Darlehen von Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS
Loan Company erhalten habe
Nachdem ich mich zweimal bei verschiedenen Kreditgebern beworben hatte,
die behaupteten, genau dort Kreditgeber zu sein, dachte ich, dass ihre
Kreditvergabe echt war, und ich bewarb mich, aber sie gaben mir nie einen
Kredit, bis ein Freund von mir mich Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS Loan Company
vorstellte, der versprach zu helfen mich mit einem Darlehen meiner Begierde
und er tat wirklich, was er versprochen hatte, ohne jede Form von
VerzÃ¶gerung, ich hatte Zweifel, aber ich fasse es nie, um zu glauben. Ich
hÃ¤tte nie gedacht, dass es noch zuverlÃ¤ssige Kreditgeber gibt, bis ich
Herrn JOHN WILLIAMS traf, der mir wirklich bei meinem Kredit geholfen und
mein Leben zum Besseren verÃ¤ndert hat. Ich weiÃŸ, dass es noch viele gute
Kreditgeber gibt, aber ich wÃ¼rde Ihnen raten, Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS Loan
Company, seine FÃ¼rsorge und sein VerstÃ¤ndnis, auszuprobieren. Sie wissen
nicht, ob Sie auch dringend ein Darlehen benÃ¶tigen oder eine Finanzierung
fÃ¼r Ihre Projekte wÃ¼nschen, wenden Sie sich also an Herrn JOHN WILLIAMS
Loan Company unter seiner E-Mail-Adresse:

johnloanfirm2@gmail.com
