"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:
- "00,000.00" (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)
- "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

DIVINE MISSION
From:MRS Mrs.Rosine
Mildmay Mission Hospital ,
Austin Street , London , E2 7NB
Greetings In the name of God Almighty,

INTRODUCTION: I am Mrs Rosine patrick ,tcholakian, from Philipine. I am married to late Dr.patrick ,tcholakian, of blessed memory who was an Oil Merchants in leeds city uk for many years before he died in the year 2006. We were married for twenty five years without a child.

We were both born again Christians and since the death of my husband, I have been battling with both lung cancer and stroke. When my late husband was alive he deposited £1.200,000.00 (One Million Two Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a Bank here in leeds city uk after his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home.

According to the doctor, my medical report quotes a very short life sperm due to my health status presently. May be I may still have another 3-4 weeks to live, that I do not know but God can say. That is just my faith as a deteriorating cancer patient.

Recently, I am been disturbs by my one sided paralysed due to stroke diagnoses. but I pray to God to heal me so that I will be alive and see this work done as my late husband instructed me. Having known my condition I decided to donate the above mentioned fund to an individual Muslim/Christian or any faith, so that He/She will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein, I want an individual that will use this fund for the less privilege ones like; orphanages, widows.

I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going, I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus "14 VS 14" says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.

I want you and your family to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard, my happiness is that I lived a worthy life and whoever that want to serve the God must serve him in spirit and truth.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you more details regarding this great mission.

Remain blessed.
Mrs Rosine patrick ,tcholakian
