"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:
- "hundred thousand 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)
- ",500,000" (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)
- "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.

Attention: Please...

I sincerely greet you on this day.

I am Adnan Menderes Yayla, Chief Financial Officer & Executive Vice
President QNB Finansbank, Istanbul office Turkey., I am pleased to get
across to you for a very urgent and profitable business proposal which I
believe will profit the both of us after completion, I contacted you after
going through your profile that you might be capable of handling this
business transaction without betrayal, There is this client of mine Mr.
Roger Ian Wright a US businessman, founder of a Sao Paulo-based investment
company and Owner of ENGEN OIL AND GAS COMPANY LTD made a fixed deposit
with my bank in January 2009 for 36 calendar months, valued at (US$
67,500,000)Sixty Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars
Only, The due date for this deposit contract was the 2nd of April 2012,Mr.
Roger Ian Wright, his wife and his two children all died in a plane crash
in Sao Paulo Brazil.

All attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless, My position here at
my office requires me to investigate and provide the Next of Kin or
Business Partner, I therefore made further investigations and discovered
that Mr. Roger Ian Wright did not declare any next of kin or relation in
all his official documents including his deposit documents in my bank,
According to Turkish Law the money will be reverted to the ownership of the
Turkish government after 15 years if nobody applies to claim the fund, To
prevent this from happening I have decided to seek your assistance to have
you stand as his Business Associate so that the said fund (US$ 67.5 Million
USD) would be released in your name as the next of kin and paid into your
account, All documents and proof that will have you claim this funds
without stress will be forwarded to you upon your response to this mail.

Please you can privately reply to ðŸ‘‰ðŸ‘‰ðŸ‘‰ðŸ‘‰... mwanczyk20@aol.com

Your immediate response will be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Adnan Menderes Yayla
