"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:
- "a security company " (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "the consignment" (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)
- "consignment " (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)
- "abidjan" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

With good confidence
I am Mrs Juliet Adel Malik from Gambia. I am married to Mr.Robert Malik. My husband was working in Sauth Africa embassy in Cote D'Ivoire for nine years before he died.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days, before his death.
Since his dead 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 $4.2 Million (Four Million Two Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) in a security company here Abidjan.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my H.B.P high blood
pressure sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a charity orgnisation,ophanage or individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a charity organisation that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, charity organisation is maintained.

I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not happy with me because I don't have a child, this is why I am taking this decission in regard of my health hence the presence of my husband are no more.I don't want my husband relatives to know about this development.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the security company here in Cote D' Ivoire so that you can contact them. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of the consignment that contain the of fund.

I want you and the charity organsiation to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hope to receive your reply.

Yours Faithfully,
Mrs Juliet Adel Malik
