"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:
- "waiting for your urgent response" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Good Day,

My name is Mr. Igor zinoviev. I was the personal bodyguard of the late
Mr.
Jeffery Edward Epstein, a billionaire who died in his prison cell while
awaiting trial on sex charges.

Sequel to the above, the late Mr. Jeffery Edward Epstein, who was a
multi-national billionaire and made me his personal bodyguard and
driver,
gave me space for all his information, both personal and official,
placing
me in the fortunate position of having firsthand knowledge from where he
kept a large sum of money and two boxes of very expensive jewelry; I'm
seeking a capable and trustworthy partner with whom I can partner in
claiming said sum.

This would be a great opportunity for both of us. Let me know if you are
interested as I am willing to give you 50% and take 50% back, but you
will
have to sign a letter of guarantee to me as proof of our agreement for
reference purposes.

Thank you and waiting for your urgent response.

Greetings,

Mr. Igor Zinoviev
