"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 fake company names, fake addresses, non-existent institutions/documents or other details have appeared in scams before:
- "diplomatic delivery"
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "hundred thousand us dollars" (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)
- ",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)
- "diplomatic delivery" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "diplomatic agent" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)

Dear Friend,

Accept my apology if this mail in any way offends you. However, please
give attention to it if it interests your person.
I am Ms.Yazil Soha Lebanese origin. I am a widow,
as I lost my husband in the Iraqi conflict, years ago. I
serve under the United Nations department of safety
and security (UNDSS) in Syria,

Presently I am in Syria precisely in Damascus. It happened that few
months
back, we intercepted a group of rebel soldiers carrying some luggages
which we thought were arms, and on getting closer to them with the help
of
the military support, they flew away and left those luggages.

We took the luggages to our office in Damascus, and when we opened them
we
discovered arms in some of them while, one of the luggages contain huge
some of money worth $7,500,000.00 (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand
US
Dollars Only)
We tried to contact that group but, all our effort was fruitless.
However,the other colleages were not interested as i am the head of the
department,and very soon my mission here will come to an end.

my contact to you is for you to act as the owner of the luggage
to enable UN diplomatic delivery agent bring the luggage to your
country
through the underground work which I have done already.

As the head of my department, I am the only one aware of the fund for
now,and from the way the fund is packed, no one will ever dictate the
true
content without been told, so if you have accepted to receive the funds
in
your country in cash through diplomatic Agents, please get back to me
for
more details. It is going to be a risk free transaction if only you
will
adhere to my instruction because; the matter is under my care.

Please note that there will be no telephone calls because all telephone
conversations are been monitored here in the UN office. What will be
your
percentage after you receive the fund? and let me know if you are
willing
to give me every necessary assistance to complete the process,

I count on your capability to assist me receive the fund in your
country or any where you intends to meet with the delivery agent that
will convey the fund to you, i will furnish you with more details
once you show your interest more.
