"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:
- "hundred thousand united states dollars" (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)
- "is 100% risk-free" (almost true for the criminal trying to scam you - arrests of online criminals are rare)
- "barrister" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
- "barr." (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
- "chambers" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
This email message is a next of kin scam.
Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.
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.

United Kingdom

Good day to you,

This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as
such. I am Barrister Frazer J Carolis a solicitor at law.
I am 53 years of age, the personal attorney/sole executor to the late
Mrs.Norbert Baker, hereinafter referred to as 'my client' who worked as an
independent oil magnate in my country who died in a car crash with her
immediate family on the 4th of Oct, 2000.

Since the death of my client in Oct, 2000, I have written several letters to
the Embassy with an intention to locate any of her family members whom
shall be claimants/beneficiaries of her abandoned personal estate and all
such efforts have been to no avail.

More so, I have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a
likely proceeding for confiscation of her abandoned personal assets in line
with existing laws by the bank in which my client deposited the sum of 4.8
million U.S.D.(Four Million Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) On
this note, I decided to search for a credible foreigner , I decided to
contact you, That I may with your consent, present you to the "TRUSTEE" bank
as my late client's extended family relative so as to enable you put up a
claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my client. I find
this possible for the fuller reasons that I have in my possession all
necessary proof that gives you the right for this claim making it a lot
easier for you to put up a claim in that capacity.

I propose that 65% of the net sum will accrue to you at the conclusion of
this deal in so far as I do not incure further expenses.
Therefore,to facilitate the immediate transfer of this fund, you need, first
to contact me via signifying your interest and as soon as I obtain your
confidence, I will immediately appraise you with the complete details as
well as fax you the documents, with which you are to proceed and I shall
direct you on how to put up an application to the bank. HOWEVER,you will
have to assent to an express agreement which I will forward to you in order
to bind us in this transaction.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send you by fax or E-mail the next
step to take. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is
100% risk-free and that you should not entertain any fear as the required
arrangements have been made for the completion of this transfer. Like I have
implied, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this.

Looking forward to your reply.

Barr.Frazer J Carolis
