"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 states 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)
- "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)

Good Day Dear,

Compliment of the day. My name is Miss. Anna Chanda. I am 21 years of Age and an Orphan. I got your contact email on the Internet while searching for a trusted personality I can confide in. I am writing to seek your kind assistance to stand as my foreign trustee and retrieve $10,200,000.00 USD ( Ten Million Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ) which I inherited from my late parents.

Before the Death of My Late Father. He deposited the above stated amount with one of the Leading Bank in South Africa and with my name as the next of kin, but with a clause that I must get to the Age of 30 before the Bank could allow me access to the funds or I provide a foreign trustee who could lead me with the investment of the funds outside Africa.

I am therefore soliciting for your kind and matured assistance to receive the transfer of these funds into your account and also help me to secure the necessary documents that will permit me to fly over to your Country and further up my Education, while you manage the investment of the funds under a written agreement.

I want you to return this email only if you are really willing to assist me with all your heart, so that I can give you more details. contact me with this email miss-annachanda@naver.com

NOTE: I also would like us to have a video conversation via whatsapp or Skype only if you are willing to assist me as my foreign trustee, until then I am waiting urgently for your kind response as I hope to rely on you.

Regards,
Miss. Anna Chanda.
