"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.
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.

Achtung: BegÃ¼nstigter des Fonds,
Wir wurden von der EuropÃ¤ischen Investitionsbank aus London und dem IWF
beauftragt, den Grund fÃ¼r die unnÃ¶tige VerzÃ¶gerung von gesetzlich
genehmigten Mitteln zu untersuchen. WÃ¤hrend unserer Untersuchung haben wir
festgestellt, dass Ihre Zahlung durch korrupte Bankangestellte verzÃ¶gert
wurde, die versuchten, Ihr Geld auf ihre persÃ¶nlichen Konten umzuleiten.

Um diesen dubiosen Akt zu verhindern, haben wir mit der EuropÃ¤ischen
Investitionsbank in London und dem Internationalen WÃ¤hrungsfonds (IWF)
vereinbart, dass wir diese Zahlung verwalten und Ã¼berwachen kÃ¶nnen.
Vermeiden Sie verzweifelte Situationen mit Banken und anderen BehÃ¶rden in
Strafsachen.

FÃ¼r Ihre MFD-Zahlung haben wir eine unwiderrufliche Zahlungsgarantie
erhalten. Hiermit teilen wir Ihnen mit, dass die EuropÃ¤ische
Investitionsbank beschlossen hat, Ihnen den Betrag von USD 1.000.000,00 zu
erstatten und per BankÃ¼berweisung auf Ihr Bankkonto zu Ã¼berweisen.
wenden Sie sich bitte per E-Mail an die SekretÃ¤rin der Korrespondenzbank,
