"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)
- "very confidential" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
- "can i trust you?" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
This email message is a orphan scam.
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.

CAN I TRUST YOU???????

CONFIDENTIAL/ CONFIDENTIAL// CONFIDENTIAL///

Dearest Beloved,

Please kindly go through this letter before you pass judgment because I am
in need of assistance. I am Ms.Aisha the Daughter of late Mr.Ammar
Mohammad ,One of the richest farmer in my country Ghana before he was
killed. I must confess my agitation is real, and my words is my bond, in
this proposal

My late father happens to be in control of a large number of farms
including cattle’s and many sheep as his personal business before he was
poisoned by his foreign business partners in Paris with my mother in one
of their farmers association meeting because of greed.

But before his death my late father deposited some amount of money outside
our country in bank at the tone of Six Million,Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars $6,500.000.00. So i and my little brother are no
longer safe here as the present government of Ghana are working with
almost all the killers of my late father as one of them has been just be
made a minister, name undisclosed because of security reasons.

Furthermore we have contacted the bank where the money is deposited and
the bankers let us understand that they signed an agreement with our late
father that the total money must be transferred into his foreign business
partner account undisclosed to them and that is the major reason why i am
contacting you now for assistance.

All I needed from you now is your full names and address including your
direct and personal telephone number for easy communication as you know
that this transaction is a very confidential one and as the same time 100%
risk free as the money in question belongs to my late father not the
government.

Please Kindly get back to me immediately after you must have gone through
my message fill free and make it urgent. That is the reason why I offered
you 25 % of the total amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses
you might incur during this transaction.

N.B Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chip investment
opportunities which is risky free which I can invest with this money when
it is transferred from the bank here, personally I am interested in estate
management and hotel business, please advise me.
For more explanation write me through my alternative e-mail address
(privatee22@yahoo.com)

And promise me and my younger brother to be a father and mother that we
don’t have now considering our situation and not to betray us.

Thanks and God bless you and your family.
Ms.Aisha And Koffi Ammar Mohammad
