"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:
- "god fearing " (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
- "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.
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.

Subject: My Dearest

My Dearest,

I am Mrs Susan Sisca Sukariyati and 68 years old from Indonesia. I am
married to Late Mr. Mustafa Sukariyati of blessed memory who is an oil
explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve years before he died in the year
2000. We were married for twelve years without a child. He died after a
brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death I too have
been battling with both Cancer and fibroid problems. When my late Husband
was alive he deposited a substantial amount of money in millions of
dollars with a Royal bank.

Recently, my doctor told me that I have only six months to live due to
cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a
charity/orphanage home or devoted God fearing individual that will utilize
this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want this organization
or individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund charity homes
(motherless homes), orphanages, widows. I took this decision because I
don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives
are into radical organization and I don't want a situation where this
money will be used in an Unholy manner. Hence the reasons for this bold
decision. Please, pray for me to recover, as your prayers will go a long
way in uplifting my spirit.Go ahead and reply me on my email:
mrs.susan4me@ig.com.br

I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my
health, because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me
always. I don't want them to know about this development. As soon as I
receive your reply. I shall give you further directives on what to do and
how to go about actualizing this project. I will also issue a letter of
authority to the Royal bank authorizing them that the said fund Have being
willed to you and a copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you. I
want you to always pray for me. Any delay in your reply will give room in
sourcing for an organization or a devoted Individual for this same
purpose. Until I hear from you by email; my dreams will rest squarely on
your shoulders.

Remain blessed.

Mrs Susan Sisca Sukariyati
