"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:
- "inheritance funds" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- ",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)
- "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)
- "diplomatic agent" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "affidavit " (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Attention Dear

Note: if you found this email in your junk/spam, its because of your
internet isp server.

I am Ms.Gertie Jenkins, I am a US citizen,58 years Old. My residential
address is 708 Queen Street Wilmington, North Carolina 28401 United
States,I am thinking of moving since I am now wealthy.I am one of those
people that took part in receiving Inheritance funds in East & West Asians
many years ago and they refused to pay me,I had paid different fees while
in the United States trying to get my funds from those banks and lottery
organizers but all to no avail.

So I decided to travel to Wright City, Oklahoma with all my compensation
documents, And I was directed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Director to contact Mr.Richard Larry, who is a representative of the
INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF),a Human Rights Activist and a member of
the Compensation Award Committee,And a Diplomatic Agent, currently in
Wright City, Oklahoma and I contacted him and he explained everything to
me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake, Mr.Richard Larry
personally directed me on how to claim my Inheritance fund.

He directed me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment.
Right now I am the happiest woman on earth because I have received my
compensation funds amounting to $10,500,000.00. Moreover,Mr.Richard Larry
showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their
payments and those whose inheritance had not been paid and the list of all
outstanding contractor that were owed that are yet to receive their
payments and I saw your email as one of the beneficiaries on the list he
showed me, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those
people, they are not with your funds, they are only making money out of
you. I will advise you to contact Mr.Richard Larry. Kindly send your
personal details to him to prove your identification such as Full
name,current home address,current Phone No.

You have to contact him directly on this information below.

Compensation Award Office.
Name : Mr.Richard Larry
Phone NU: +1 (202)869 0139
WhatsApp NU:+1 (207) 719 7416

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you
and to telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with
them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until
you have nothing left.The only money I paid after I met Mr.Richard Larry
was for full legal affidavit to support my claim and approval of my
compensation funds release which will enable the transfer of the funds
immediately to your bank account or whichever way you desire to receive
your payment.Take note of that and i will advise you to contact him Asap if
you wish to receive your fund without any further wasting of time.

Thank You and Be Blessed.
