"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.

Hi and greetings to you

I'm no good at long introductions so I'll be short. My name is Victoria Rhodes; I'm from Westminster, England, and am a CPA and affiliate member of the Offshore Clearing House. I have been profiting from OCH financial system for around 8 years, after I was secretly introduced to OCH by an affiliate in 2003.

Let me ask you a very simple question, okay?
Have you ever heard of Offshore Banking?
I am going to assume that your answer will be yes.
So, here is one other question for you. Have you ever earned good income through offshore banking?

If your answer was no, then here is a rear and (golden opportunity) that might just change everything for you.
You may not have realized this, but there is a secret offshore banking system called Offshore Clearing House OCH.
What if you start making an income of 5 figures or more weekly by simply clearing funds for business-to-business that opt to avoid tax by moving funds in and out through offshore banking?

Last year, I made $966,000 through this secret offshore banking system. This was done just right from my home-office working my hands, telephone and my personal computer. There is absolutely no risk involved and it is 100% legitimate.

So there is no reason you should avoid using this secret opportunity to make good income for you and your family and I believe you desire making such money? Well this opportunity might not be for you,if you are already making a 6 figure income on a yearly basis.
But be advised, this information is secret and you can only become a member of the OCH by a special invitation code. So, email me if you interested: victoriarhodescap@hotmail.com

To your success,.
Victoria Rhodes CPA
