"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:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "clearance document" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "inheritance funds" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "here in united kingdom" (this email uses bad English)
- "barrister" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
- "courier company" (Courier companies mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. They will have you send money to them, but won't deliver anything. )
- "lagos" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
- "sellivano@qq.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.

My heart is full of joy as i send you this message, because i have finally received my contract/inheritance funds valued the total sum of $6.9 Million USD only.

I never believed that i will ever received my funds, not until i met this honest and humble lawyer in Nigeria, Mr. Scott Ellivano whom directed me to the paying bank, and he also help me to obtained all the needed clearance document to claim my funds successfully from the paying bank to my local bank account here in United Kingdom.

I have been dealing with a lot of Bank Manager and Government Officials in Nigeria for long, and i have spent over $1, 65,000.00 USD from 2007 to 2012 trying to claim my funds all to no avail, but immediately I met Barrister Scott Ellivano, he asked me never to pay anybody my hard earn money again, and he reviewed every hidden secret to me concerning my overdue approved funds.

Barrister Scott Ellivano is the Senior Lawyer for Debt Settlement Board Committee & Award Contract/Inheritance Department; Barrister Scott Ellivano showed me the names list of people that have been approved to receive the overdue Contract/Inheritance funds valued the total sum of $6.9Million USD, and I saw your name and email contact, thatâ€™s why I decided to inform you, and advise you to contact Barrister Scott Ellivano too.
