"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:
- "inheritance funds" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "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)
- "i will advice you " (this email uses bad English)
- "stay blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
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: THE MAIN TRUTH ABOUT YOUR FUNDS???

Kind Attention:

My name is Mrs.Nicole Hirle I am a US citizen, 75 Years Old. My residential address is as follows. 5045 Edinborough Ln. Apt 711, Indianapolis Indiana 46241 United States, I am one of those people that took part in receiving Inheritance funds and Lottery funds from African banks and European banks even from many lottery organizers few years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid different fees or charges of over $85,000 while in the USA trying to get my funds from those banks and lottery organizers but all to no avail.

So i decided to travel to WASHINGTON D.C USA with all my payment approval documents,and I was directed by the F.B.I. Director to contact a man called Mr.Corey Hawkins , A BRITISH CITIZEN and a member of the UNITED NATIONS ORGANISATION (UNO) & INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUNDS (IMF) COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE currently staying in United - Kingdom. I contacted him in United Kingdom and he explained everything to me.

Mr.Corey Hawkins personally directed me on how to successfully claim my Inheritance and Lottery payment from the paying bank and right now I am the happiest woman on earth as i have received my total sum of US$ 6 Million (Six Million Us Dollars),the only fee i paid was for the paper work of my funds that all which is 650$ for the processing of my documentations.

I will advice you to stop contacting those people you are dealing with as they will only rip the hell out of you .Contact Mr.Corey Hawkins immediately you receive this email so he can help you secure your funds to you without anymore inch.

Conclusively i will not be around to reply emails as i will be long gone on a vacation,

Contact :Mr.Corey Hawkins (hawkinsc52@yahoo.com)

Do have a wonderful day and stay blessed.

Sincerely.
Mrs.Nicole Hirle
