"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:
- "diplomatic agent" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "the diplomat " ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "courier company" (Courier companies mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. They will have you send money to them, but won't deliver anything. )
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.

Attention: Greetings,

I'm here to tell you that the Banque Atlantique has mandated that you CONFISCATE your $8.3 million ATM Master Card on Friday of this week because it hasn't been given to you for an unknown reason. If you don't, you will forfeit the entire amount.

In order to prevent you from losing your funds here, I have worked with the DHL Diplomatic Agent to deliver the ATM MASTER CARD and their PIN CODE to you. If they do not confirm the ATM MASTER CARD again, they have scheduled that you will be using it to withdraw this money.

Diplomatic Agent DHL Courier Company
Diplomat Name : Mr. Richard Blanc
Email : richardblancab@gmail.com

Finally, in order for him to successfully deliver your ATM CARD PACKAGE and PIN CODE to you by Friday of this week, I need you to contact him right away and provide him with your full name, address, phone number, and a copy of your ID card. Once he arrives in your country, you can use the ATM MASTER CARD to make your first withdrawal as soon as he delivers it to you, and before the diplomat leaves, you can also check your account to make sure that the $8.3 million in funds is fully available in the ATM MASTER CARD.

Please take note that the $150.00 USD that you will be providing him is solely for the delivery of their PIN code and ATM master card to your home.

Regards.
Albert Naser Al-Raisi, M.A.
