"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:
- "power of attorney" (with your bank details and a power of attorney form criminals sometimes empty bank accounts)
- "god fearing " (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
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.
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.

I hope this letter will meets you well, I am sorry if I have intruded on your privacy or barged on you without your permission, I am Jessica Olga from liver pool United Kingdom.

I am suffering from cancer of the lungs which is also affecting most of my vital organs because of metastasis of the lung cancer, from all indication my condition is really deteriorating as my doctors advised that the prognosis is in stage3 and, presently I'm in a hospice where I have been taking supportive treatment.

I am a widow. I was married to late Engr. Hilton Olga, an industrialist and a member of a Liverpool businessman, my husband died following complications from fatal car accident, we married for twenty one years without a child before his death we were true Christian and after his dead I did not re-marry. thereafter, I sold my inherited properties worth of ($17.5Million) and save the money in the bank before I was diagnose of cancer of the lungs, recently the management of the bank wrote me to come and claim the money for keeping it so long or rather issue Power of Attorney to somebody I trusted to receive the money on my behalf since I cannot come in person because of my ill-health.

It is my wish to donate this money to support the less privilege. I took this decision because of the vow I made to God to reach out to the needy. In striving to put my vow into action, I decided to donate my funds and dedicate it for this noble course. I see you as a God fearing person who will receive this money and use it judiciously to effect the lives of the needy and I would like you to indicate your interest and handle the project. However, upon receipt of your response indicating your interest, I shall advise my bank's lawyer to prepare a Power of Attorney in your name which will authorize you to contact the bank and receive the money on my behalf, please you will also assure me that you will act as I stated herein.

You should contact my private e-mail at (jessicaolga048@gmail.com) to enable us commence progress on this! I am waiting for your reply.
