"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:
- "with your full names" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "junhuan12123@yahoo.cn" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
This email message is a next of kin scam.

Subject: job immediately.

I am Mr.Jun Huan of HSH Nordbank AG, Hong Kong. I have an
obscured business suggestion for you.In November, 1999,
Ahmad Fahmi an Indonesian,a contractor with the Iraqi
Government and also a businessman, made a time investment of
US$24.5M as secured growth funds for (60)sixty calendar
months in my Branch.

This investment has matured and has been lying in our Bank
reserve for the past two years,and under the Hong Kong
banking laws,any time Investment unclaimed after three years
will be turned over to the Hong Kong Government purse.

Upon maturity several notices were sent to him and no
response camefrom him. Early This year,it was later
discovered that the Ahmad Fahmiand his family were killed in
a convoy attack in Musol, Iraqi on 22th Aug, 2004 After
further investigation it was also discovered that Ahmad
Fahmi did not declare any next of kin in his official papers
including the paper work of his Bank deposit.And he also
confided in me the last time he was in my Office that no one
except me knew of his deposit in my Bank.

Against this backdrop,I will like you as a foreigner to
stand as the next of kin to Ahmad Fahmi so that you will be
able to receive this funds I have contacted an Attorney that
will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as
the next of kin to Ahmad Fahmi and also the rightful
beneficiary to the funds.

Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all matters
concerning this issue. What is required from you at this
stage is for you to provide me with your Full names,Address,>
direct telephone and fax numbers, age so that the Attorney
can commence his job.Reply strictly if you areinterested
with the requested information via my personal
email;junhuan12123@yahoo.cn to enable the Attorney commences
his job immediately.

Sincerely,

Mr.Jun Huan.
