"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:
- "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)
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: Your Payment Update

Greetings!

Your payment files from three different banks; Natwest Bank of London, Central Bank of Kenya and the U.S. JP Morgan Chase Banks were compiled and submitted to my desk yesterday morning for review. The total owed to you by the 3 banks mentioned above was summed up to the tune of $37,100,000.00 (Thirty-seven Million, One Hundred Thousand United States dollars).

The total fund in question is now lodged in an Escrow account (non deductible) with the Federal Reserve Bank, pending its clearance authorization with your accredited infomation.

Meanwhile, after due scrutiny and verification, I confirmed that you have fulfilled all the necessary obligations that will enable the release of your payment to you, but yet your payment was not released to you due to one flimsy excuse or the other from the financial officials you had dealth with being in charge of your payment, because they had the intention of diverting your funds to their private accounts in order to satisfy their selfish interest.

You are in favor that the financial investigative unit of the US Federal Reserve Bank observed these actions and therefore called for the submission of your payment file to be handle accordingly to ensure a seemless payment process to you without any discrepancies.

All modalities regarding your fund release have been put in place, thus, your fund is available for transfer to you via our sophisticated macro transfer system, you are hence, required to provide to the underlisted information to enable us expedite your accreditation for your fund release into an account of your choice immediately.
