"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:
- "million british 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)
- "cheque " (Beware of any scheme that involves cashing checks or money orders and then wiring a portion of the funds somewhere - you'll be liable for the entire amount if the checks or money orders turn out to be fake, even after you have received and forwarded cash. If it's a lottery prize, remember that real lotteries do not pay large prizes by check. They wire the money directly to your bank account and you do not pay for that. Many scammers promise a large check only in order to then demand payment of courier fees for a fake courier service. )
This email message is a next of kin scam.
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.
- +447924524821
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.

Greetings!

I am sure this mail would be coming to you as a surprise since we have

you but do not be worried for I come in peace and something very positive is

only you can carefully read and digest the message below. The internet
has made
the world global villages where you can reach anybody you have not met before.
Before I move further, permit me to give you a little of my biography,
I am Mrs
Susan Abery, 87 Years old woman and the wife of Late Sir Keith Abery
who died in
a Plane crash on Monday the 7th of September 1998 GMT 14:22 UK while they were
flying from New York to Geneva. Please see site below for more information.
http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/swissair.victims.list/index.html
After the death of my husband I became the Head of his investment and
now that I
am old and weak I have decided to spend the rest of my life with my family and
loved ones whom I never had time for during the course of my business
life, but
before the death of my husband we had a plan to use the last days of our lives
to donate half of what we have worked for to the less privilege and charity
homes and the other half for ourselves, family members and close
friends, and it
is so unfortunate that my husband is not alive today to do this with
me and I am
very weak and old now, hence I have decided to do this philanthropic work on
behalf of my late husband and I.
Presently, I have willed out almost half of our assets to several
charity homes
and to some of the less privilege in different countries. Despite the
agreement
between my late husband and I to give aid to the deprived, we also agreed to
render support to an individual we have not meet before in life due to
the fact
when we were still young in life we receive an anonymous help from an
individual
we did not know and which we have not being able to know till date, the impact
we got from such gesture made us to do same.
I am sorry to inform you that you will never have the chance to know
me because
I have just concluded the assignment which my husband and I have agreed upon
before his sudden death and you happened to be the beneficiary of our
last WILL,
irrespective of your previous financial status, hence I need you to do me a
favour by accepting our offer that will cost you nothing.
I have presently deposited a Cheque in the sum of 2.8million
British pounds
