"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.

- "million united state 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)
- ",000,000" (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)

Hi

Please do not see this message as hoax or joke. My name is Victoria K. Lynn, an American citizen but presently working here in U.K as senior domestic worker for former United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron. Please ready my life story very well and have pity on me.

I have been working for the devil David Cameron for years now and two year ago, he came into my apartment and forced me to have sex with him or he will set me up with to prison, I pleaded to him and he refused and said my beauty is charming that no man can resist me, so he had his way and had sex with me and since then, he have taken me to be his sex machine. Every woman love sex but not the one you are forced into, sex is good when the two parties agreed and be enjoying each other. So there was a day I followed him to s trip in Dublin and he almost forced me and wanted to kill me with sex in one day and I threatened him to expose him and immediately we returned back to UK, he bribe me with cash sum of US$3,000,000.00(Three Million United State Dollars) and asked me not to say anything to a anyone which I secretly kept the money in a security company.

Then there was a day he pleaded and cried to me to sex him for the very last time and will never disturb me again because I notice men got weak and carried away when they saw my beauty, so I considered him for being the last sex I will have with him and go away, so that was only time I tried to have fun with him but along the line, the shock of how he raped me the first day came into me I refused, but without knowing he already got my naked photo and now blackmail me with it to take back the US$3,000,000.00 he gave me, but I told him that the money is no more with me here that I have sent it to USA, but my dear, the money is still here in U.K.

Please I really need help, love and care now. As the devil is no more in power now, please I need your help to get this money down to your country by using your name to do that before he trace it and take it away from me as is only benefit I got for being his sex machine for years. I don’t mind sharing the money equal with or invest it into any business of your choice and also I wouldn’t mind marrying and settle down in your country if I see a man who will always love and care for me even if as a second wife because a lot of even in USA have betrayed me before I came over to U.K here and still entered into trap of this devil.

I am ready to send you my international passport copy to prove that I am who I really said.

Please send me your details, so we can discuss more and know the best secretive means to get the money out of U.K without a trace.

Please reply me through misskv.lynn@hotmail.com
Hope hear from you soonest.

Best regard,
Miss Victoria Lynn .K.
