"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.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
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.

I have the feeling that this piece of mail will reach you in a perfect
state of mind and in a better healthy condition. While searching through
the(google friends search)I came across your contact address and decided to
contact you. I believe and also have the feeling that in today's world,
neither race, sex, age, nationality nor religion will any longer posse a
barrier to male/female relationships. Although, we do not know each other
well but I will really like to have you as a friend or pen pal if that is
better for you. I am a single lady of 24 years old, a citizen of Guinea in
Africa but residing in Dakar Senegal and currently studying international
relations at the University of Papua New Guinea. Presently, I am doing my
final year in the University and so anxious to graduate from the University
into the free world. While I hope to hear from you soon, I also look
forward to receiving some information concerning you, your family, country
and even your personal life experiences. This will give us the opportunity
of knowing each other better and be able to understand ourselves more. you
can contact me through my privat email ( rosaline715@gmail.com) May God
bless you as I wait to hear from you soon , Thanks. Yours,Rose
