"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.
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.

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.

Subject: Hi and good day,

Hi and good day,

I am Mrs. Roseline Chuck, I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside here in
Dallas Texas. My residential address is as follows. 1170 Ferguson Rd, 1085,
Dallas, TX, 75228, United States, I am thinking of relocating since I am now
rich. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation and contract
program in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over
$20,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents, And
I was directed to meet Dr Hannatu Raji, who is a member and head of NIGERIA
Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, and I
contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting
us through emails are fake. He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my
Compensation payment of $2.5MillionUSD being my total fund payable to me.

Right now I am the happiest woman on earth because I have received my
compensation funds of $2.5MillionUSD. Moreover, Hannatu Raji showed me the
full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw
your name as one of the beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I
decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your
fund, they are only making money out of you.

I will advise you to contact Dr Hannatu Raji. You have to contact him directly
on this information below.

NAME: Dr Hannatu Raji.
EMAIL: www.icpcnig.comms@gmail.com
OFFICE: NIGERIA Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses
Commission
EMAIL: http://www.icac.org.hk/newsl/issue17eng/button2.htm
TELEPHONE: TEL: +234 813 264 9826.

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and
telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they
are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have
nothing. The only money I paid after I met Dr Powell Jones was just $350 for
the paper works, take note of that please.

Once again stop contacting those people, I rather will advise you to contact
Hannatu Raji of NIGERIA Independent Corrupt

Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission so that he can help you to
deliver your fund instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you
around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Thank You and Be Blessed.

Mrs Roseline Chuck.
