"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:
- "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)
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.
- +2348063805336 (Nigeria, prepaid mobile phone)
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: Your Name Is On The List, Stop contacting those people

Hello Dear ,

I am Mrs Cindy Deborah Clinton, a US citizen, 49 years Old residing here in Overland Park, Kansas. My residential address is as follows, 8721 W 106th Terr Apt 1,Overland Park, KS, 66212, United States, i am thinking of relocating since I have gotten my fortune. I am one of those that took part in the Scammed Victims Compensation Exercise organized by the Nigerian Scammed Victims Reconciliation Commission in 2005 but since then they refused to pay me because I was working with the wrong office. I had paid over $4,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.

However I later decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents and I was directed to meet Rev. Charles Benson , who is a member of the Compensation Award Committee. On contacting him, he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us {the beneficiaries} through emails are fake.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation Payment. Right now I am the happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $500,000.00. While discussing with him {Rev.Charles Benson}, he showed me the full list of those that are yet to receive their payments, saying he has been trying to reach them but their information is not clear to him and secondly he does not want to be underestimated by anybody who will think he is not for real unless you have to contact him.

I took a copy of the list promising to contact those that I can, I have tried by reaching the ones I can since I came back to USA, right now I'm at the verge of my relocation plan, so I decide to write the rest with clear confirmation that what ever transaction you are having with Nigerian agent/representatives over emails is fake if you have not contacted and verified through this office

Meanwhile, I saw your details as one of the Beneficiaries 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 Rev.Charles Benson. You have to contact him directly with this information below.

JOAQUIN COMPENSATION HOUSE

Name: Rev. Charles Benson

Email: asc@mail2minister.com

Phone: +234-806-380-5336

I am telling you that those people are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing.

The only money I paid after I met Rev.Charles Benson was just $205US for the paper works and reactivation/processing of my file, take note of that. Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Rev. Charles so that he can help you receive your compensation funds just like myself instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Please take my advice if you want to receive your fund . I am just concerned about this and always remember the less privilege and to do God's Work when this fund will be in your possession as the Reverend {Rev.Charles Benson} will always say.

Thank You and Be Blessed.
