"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:
- ",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)
- "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)
- "your urgent reply" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
- "high court" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.
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.

My Dear Beloved for the Lord,
Good day to you and your family, My Name is mrs.daisy Abraham,a national
of malaysia and am married to late Dr.Abraham who was an Oil Merchant and
international businessman.Before he died n the year 2001 after a
brief illness that lasted for only five days. We were married for Seventeen
years with a daughter (Lillian)who later died in an Automobile accident.
Before the Untimely death of my husband we were both born again
Chrisians. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child
outside my Matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late
husband was Alive he deposited the sum of ($18,000,000.00 USD) Eighteen
Million United tates Dollars with a Bank n England whose name is witheld
Until we open up communication,this money is sill with the Bank till
date. Recently, Following my ill health, my Doctor told me that i may not
las for the next Couple Of Months due to My cancer problem. the one that
disurbs me most is my inability to move around.
Having known this I decide to donate this fund to a Charitable
organization or a Trused Person that will utilize this money the way I am
going to insruct here and,according to the desire of my late husband Before
his death. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an
ungodly Way.This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of
death Hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the
Bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case
and I shall hold my peace". I don't need any telephone communication in
this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's
relatives around me always.I don't want them to know about this
development and i want you to know that With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply, I shall give you the contact of the Bank
where you shall reach them and i will also issue you a Letter Of
Authorization from the High Court Of Jusice here n malaysia that will
prove you to be a beneficiary of this fund while I want you and your
organization to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard,My
happiness is that i lived a life of a worthy Chrisian.Whoever that Wants
to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.Please always be
prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room
in sourcing another individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Sated here and while i am
to receive your urgent reply' to me through this email
(daisy_abraham@rocketmail.com).
Have a Blessed Day.
Your Beloved Siser
Mrs.Daisy Abraham
