"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:
- "clearance certificate" (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. )
- "certificate fee" (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. )
- "demurrage " (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. )
- "security keeping fee" (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. )

- "are expected to pay " (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. )
- "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)
- "dear beneficiary," (this SPAM email was probably sent to thousands of people)
- "courier service" (Courier companies mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. They will have you send money to them, but won't deliver anything. )
- "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.
- +447017487629 (UK, redirects to a mobile phone in another country)
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.

My Dear Beneficiary,

I am sure this mail would be coming to you as a surprise since we have
never met before and you would also be asking why I have decided to chose
you amongst
the numerous internet users in the world, precisely I cannot say why I have
chosen you but do not be worried for I saw your profile on the Internet,
which
has made me accomplish my request. May the almighty God bless and see you
through with this mission if you can carefully read and digest the message
below.

Before I move further, permit me to give you a little of my biography, I am
Mother Emilly Olivier, 87 Years old woman and the wife of Late Sir Jackman
Olivier 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
favor by accepting our offer that will cost you nothing.

I have presently deposited a Cheque in the sum of 5,800,000.00 Great
British Pounds with DHL express to deliver to you, what you have to do now
is to contact
the DHL COURIER SERVICE as soon as possible to know when they will deliver
your package to you because of the expiring date.
I only made the deposit with your EMAIL ADDRESS and SECURITY KEEPING CODE
(SCT/0433/F) because I do not know your name and the address you would want
to
receive the parcel with. I couldn't find them on net while browsing your
profile if not I would have given it to DHL for immediate and fast delivery
of this
parcel to you.

For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance
Premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the cheque showing that it is not
a Drug
Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country.you have to
contact the DHL COURIER SERVICE, UNITED KINGDOM now for the delivery of
the cheque
with this information bellow;

CONTACT PERSON: Mr.Stephen.C.Clark
Email Address: mrsemillyolivierjackman2@gmail.com
Telephone: +44 701 748 7629

Again, you are not to pay for the delivering Charge, the Insurance premium
and the Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque because I have already paid
for them, the only money you are expected to pay is 165 Great British
Pounds for the security keeping of the cheque so far.I would have paid the
fee but the
company insisted that I should not because they don't know when you will be
contacting them and to avoid demurrage or further cost.You are to reconfirm
the
below information to them to avoid any mistake on the Delivery.

Postal address;
Full Names:
Direct telephone number;

Below is the security keeping code: (SCT/0433/F) of the draft, you are to
also present it to them for verification before delivery. Let me repeat
again, try
to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay
and remember to ask them to provide you with the method they wish to use in
receiving their security keeping fee of 165 Pounds for their immediate
action.

Note: Please I do not want you to thank me or my husband all I need you to
do is, When you get this fund, use ONLY 800.000.00 (Great British Pounds
Sterlings) for your effort and USE THE REST OF THIS FUND FOR CHARITY
PURPOSE IN THE WAY IT WILL PLEASE HUMANITY.

Yours Faithfully
Mrs. Emilly Olivier Jackman
