"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:
- ",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)
- "united state dollar" (this email uses bad English)
- "dear beneficiary," (this SPAM email was probably sent to thousands of people)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Unfinished Transaction!!

Dear Beneficiary,

I am Frank Eddy, I am 66 years Old. I reside here in Denver, Colorado, US. My residential address is 169 Cherokee St Denver, CO 80223, US and I am one of those who fell victim to a scam in Africa more than 8 years ago. I lost over US$98,000 United State Dollars in the past 8 years.

I have been trying to get my money all to no avail and they always stopped my money with one reason or the order. one faithful day i received a mail from one Mrs rose Daniel informing me that she saw my information on United Nations Compensation scam list as one of the beneficiaries, So I decided to fly down to the United Nations Compensation Payment Center in New York where all scam victims' payments are to be paid to their respective owners all over the world and i was so lucky that my name appear 3rd on there list.

When I got to New York, I met Mr. Baney Martins, who explained everything to me that those people that we are currently dealing with are all fake, that he appreciated me coming down to New York to see things for myself, which was the best option.

He directed me to the corresponding paying bank which is Federal Reserve Bank for the claim of my compensation payment and it was paid to me successfully after i have made all the necessary requirement available. Right now I am the happiest man on earth because I have finally received my compensation payment of $4,500,000.00 (Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) Moreover, Mr. Baney Martins, showed me the files containing the email contacts of those that are yet to receive their compensation payment and this was how I came across your email contact.

Please take note that the total Money I paid after I met with Mr. Baney Martins, was $1,800USD for the funds release order clearance and transfer charges for the paying bank and the funds were totally released to me without any delays or further payment from any office.

Contact his office with the below details:

The only money I paid after I met Mr. Baney Martins, was just $1,800USD for the funds release order clearance and transfer charges, take note of that.

NOTE: I REPEAT THE ONLY MONEY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY AND WHICH I ALSO PAID IS $1,800USD FOR THE FUNDS RELEASE CLEARANCE AND TRANSFER CHARGES AS IMPOSED BY THE UNITED NATION ON YOUR FUNDS RELEASE.

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Mr. Baney Martins, immediately and stop wasting and sending your money to fraudsters who claim to be in charge of your funds.
