"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:
- "million united states 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)
- "nscservicedistrict77@live.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.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.
- +22962825880 (Benin, probably a prepaid mobile phone)

Hello Maximino
Thank you so much for your response, you are God sent. Please like i said before, i will appreciate your 100 percent secrets over this, and i assure you 100 percent problem free.
Firstly, the National security Inspector of this country is my In law, and i have detailed him to give us all legal support of this transfer. In this country, no funds can be wired outside states without the National security approval.
Today, having gone through your email, i have contacted him and explained all details of this transfer before him, and i am very much happy that he welcomed the idea and now we await for your compliance.
like i said above, in any transfer, the National security will give approval, and once that approval is gotten, it is the duty of the cash Office, which is me, to get the transfer done to your account.
Please, i want you to email the National security inspector, tell him that i directed you to him for an approval of this transfer (14. 5 Million United states Dollars) and send to him the following information.

1. Your Bank names.
2. Account name
3. Account number
4 Routine number
5. Direct Telephone Number

The reason for this is for him to confirm online the authenticity of the account before giving approval. If there is any charges he gives, please let me know, and that will not be a problem.
Here is the email of the National security Inspector
Email.... ( nscservicedistrict77@live.com)
His name... Inspector Tim Bark
His phone.... +229 6282 5880

Please contact Him as urgent as possible, let us proceed for this transfer.

I am waiting for your email as soon as you do that.
Thank you.
