"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:
- ",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)
- "stay blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a orphan scam.

Dearest
I thank you so much for your mail.I will like to tell you all about myself in details again.My name is georgina hans Majak i from Democratic Republic of Congo, Kinshasa in west Africa,I am 24 years old young girl,5.6ft tall,dark in complexion,(never married before )and presently I am residing in the refugee camp here in Dakar as a result of the civil war that was fought in my country.

My (late) father Dr. Fedinand hans Majak ,was the managing director of the Rainbow Gold and Diamond Mining company located in(KINSHASA)CONGO, before the rebels attacked our house one early morning and killed my mother and my father in cold blood.It was only me that is alive now and I managed to make my way to a near by country Senegal where i am leaving now. This amount was deposited by my late father in one of the leading banks in FRENCE . The deposit documents indicate me as the next of kin.
I am counting on you to help me make a claim and profitably invest my capital worth US$10,500,000.00 which I inherited from my late father-Dr.Fedinand hans MaJak whom I am his only child.

Presently, I am saddled with the problem of securing a trustworthy foriegn personality to help me claim the money from the bank. I will map out 20% for you to:-
(1)Stand on my behalf in Senegal as the beneficiary for the claim of the inheritance from the bank since the management of the bank advised that I should solicit for an individual or corporate organization to claim the deposit for me as they cannot release it directly to me due to my refugee status in Senegal.
(2)Transfer the money over to your own country and into your possession pending my arrival to meet with you.(3)Invest and manage the money for me in a good business pending my maturity.
(4) Help me secure my travelling documents to meet you as soon as my money is released to you.Furthermore,you can contact the Bank for confirmation and I will issue a letter of authorisation on your name,that will enable the bank correspond with you on my behalf.I am giving you this offers as mentioned with every confidence on your acceptance to assist me and manage the money for me.
Conclusively,I wish you send me a reply immediately you recieve this proposal. Until then,I remain with the best.Kissess and hugssss.
Stay Blessed.
