"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:

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.

Dearest One,Â

I am writing to you to help me with something I could not accomplishÂ alone, my name is Miss Ebretche Fulbert, my father late Sir HobbahÂ Fulbert was killed in the recent presidential political warfare in Abidjan Cote Dâ€™Ivoire.

There is something I need to let you know which I would want you to help meÂ with. My father Sir Hobbah Fulbert deposited the sum of US$12,000,000.00 (Twelve Million United States Dollars) Â in oneÂ of the safety Security Company here in Abidjan Cote Dâ€™Ivoire and he told me that he used my name as his only daughter as the next of kin forÂ the deposit and he registered the consignment as Family Valuables forÂ security reasons.
I am seeking for a Good foreign partner who willÂ help me retrieve this consignment that contents this money from theÂ security company and have it transfer out of this place and also have it invest in good ventures.

For this reason, I seek your assistance toÂ serve as my guardian and help me in the retrieving of the consignmentÂ that contents the money and have it transfer to your country and investÂ it in good ventures where we can obtain profits.

I also require your assistance to continue my education in your country which I stopped since I lost my father lately.

I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as compensation for assisting me in this regard.

Please get back to me for further explanations.

Hoping to hearing from you soonest.

May you be blessed as you extend your helping hands to me.

Yours Sincerely,Â
Miss Ebretche Fulbert
