"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:
- "top secret" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
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.

Permission to transfer $275Million into your account.

I wish to ask for your kind assistance for the transfer of $275 million into your account; my name is Alhaja Turia Yaradua wife of late Umar Musa Yaradua former president of the federal Republic of Nigeria. I am contacting you to assist me in receiving this fund into your bank account, strictly for investment purpose in your country because I cannot come out publicly, due to the political status of my late husband that is why I am contacting you so that I can change the name of the beneficiary in the depositing bank; because this money is deposited in a secret coded account in ING BANK BRUSSELS Belgium, which we need only to change the depositors name to bear your name so that the money can be moved in your name as the bonafied owner of the fund, to any nominated bank of your choice in the world.

If you accept to assist me on this, my advice to you is that you keep this top secret and confidential to avoid any eyebrow. I am willing to offer you 35% of the total fund, while 60% for me and 5% for any expenses incurred during this transaction.
