"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:
- "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.

Good morning,

One of our members sent you this letter a month ago, but we have not heard from you and I am not sure if you received it, so I repeat it: First, I am Mrs. Bacci Antonella, Executive Director and President of the United Nations (UN).

The President and the Governing Body of the Monetary Unit of the United Nations have asked us to investigate the unclaimed funds belonging to you that have been paid into the UN government database, which fraudsters use under the name of the United Nations to confuse people and take their money from them. During our investigation, it was found that your unclaimed funds belonged to a list of 150 recipients categorized as follows: Victims of Internet Fraud, Undelivered Inheritance and Contract Funds, Incomplete Transfer of Inheritance, Contract Funds, Victims of Credit Fraud, Lottery Funds, etc.

In conjunction with the auditorsâ€™ reports sent to the United Nations Accounts Department, your payment file was forwarded to this office to initiate an immediate transfer of $ 500,000.00 to your bank account, to compensate for your withheld funds. The auditorsâ€™ report shows that you have been having a hard time seeing the funds appear in your bank account due to some delays by dubious officials.

We therefore advise you not to enter into any further correspondence with officials or persons outside this office, as you have met the conditions for the transfer of funds.

If you follow our instructions, the $500,000.00 compensation will be credited to your bank account within the next three (3) business days and copies of the transfer approval documents will be sent to you and your banking institutions for confirmation.

For the immediate transfer of the $500,000.00 to your bank account, contact Mrs. Bacci Antonella today and let her know how to request your funds.

Contact Person: Mrs. Bacci Antonella

Email: bacciantonellac@gmail.com

PLEASE NOTE: All correspondence to Mrs. Bacci Antonella must include the reference number: Ref: UNDR/EFD550/SE along with your full name and telephone number so that it can be processed promptly.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Bacci Antonella
Grant Disbursement Officer - UNDP
