"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:
- "million pounds" (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)
- "god fearing " (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

in England for years now, got your email address contact after a reliable
search from the internet, but now i am undergoing medical treatment in
israel.I married for fifteen years without a child. my wife died after a
brief illness that lasted for two weeks.I vow to use my wealth for the
down trodden and the less privileged in the society. Since the doctor had
comfirmed my situation that I will not live long I have decided to give
out my money to the poor. Deposited the sum of 12 Million pounds (Twelve
Million Pounds sterling) with my Bank in UK Branch Standard Chartered Bank
Plc in london. Presently, this money is still there in the bank.

Recently,my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 27 days due
to cancer problem.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known
my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual or better
still a God fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going
to instruct here in.I want an individual that will use this to fund and
provide succor to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and above all
those affected in the Tsunami in far Asia and the Hurricane Katrina
Disasters with earthquake area like Haiti.

Please get back to me for more explanation and informations as i need some
one that can handle this by financing the needy with my funds.Please
respond to me immediately for me to know your mind and the kind of person
you are.

God Bless You,
Mr Isaias Cayabyab
