"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:
- ",000,000" (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)
- "00,000.00" (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)
- "% will be for you" (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)
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.

Dearest One

I'm Mrs Judith Peters a Successful business Woman dealing with
Exportation, I got your mail contact through search in order to let
you know my Ugly Situation.

Am a dying Woman here in Los Angeles California Hospital Bed in
(USA),I Lost my Husband and my only Daughter for Covid-19 in March
2020 I'm dying with a cancer disease at the moment.

My Doctor open-up to me that he is Afraid to tell me my Condition and
inside me, I already know that I'm not going to survive and I can't
live alone without my Family on Earth.

I have two of my companies that I leased to my friend,those two
companies will be given to my attorney for his job well done in my
family.

I have another project that I am about to hand over to you. and I
already instructed the Heritage Bank to transfer my fund sum of
$150,000.000.00usd to you, so as to enable you to donate 50% to
Charity Home and take 50% for yourself.

Don't think otherwise and why would anybody send someone you barely
know to help you deliver a message, help me do this for the happiness
of my soul.

Please, do as I said there was someone from your State that I deeply
love so very very much and I miss her so badly I have no means to
reach any Charity Home there,that is why I go for a personal search of
the Country and State and I got your mail contact through search to
let you know my Bitterness and the situation that i am passing
through.

Please help me accomplish my goal,ask my Attorney to help me keep you
notice failure for me to reach you in person.

The Doctor said I have a few weeks to live, please contact my attorney
with the following email address and phone number as soon as possible,
I am finding it difficult to breathe and I am not sure if I can stay
up to two weeks.

Name Attorney Chaplain Upright

Email: chaplainuprightattorney@gmail.com

Please hurry up to contact my attorney so that he can direct you on
how you will hand over 50% of the $150,000,000.00 to Charity. The
remaining 50% will be for you, I really want to achieve my goal by
helping the Charity organization before I die.

My Regards.
CEO
Mrs Judith Peters
