"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. 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:
- "million 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)
- ",000,000" (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)
- "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)
- "your urgent reply" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
- "high court" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
- "daisy.abrm101@w.cn" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

Subject: I NEED YOUR HELP FOR THIS WORK=====

My Dear Beloved in the Lord,

Good day to you and your family, My Name is Mrs.Daisy Abraham,a national of
Malaysia and am married to late Dr.Mohammed Abraham who worked with the Shell
Petroleum in Saudi Arabia and international businessman.Before he died in the
year 2005 after a brief illness that lasted for only five days.
We were married for Seventeen years with a daughter (Lillian)who later died
in an Automobile accident.

Before the Untimely death of my husband we were both born again Christians.
Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my
Matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was Alive
he deposited the sum of ($18,000,000.00 USD) Eighteen Million United States
Dollars with a Bank in England whose name is withheld Until we open up
communication,this money is still with the Bank till date. Recently,
Following my ill health, my Doctor told me that i may not last for the next
Couple Of Months due to My cancer problem. the one that disturbs me most is
my inability to move Around.

Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Charitable
organization or a Trusted Person that will utilize this money the way I am
going to instruct herein,according to the desire of my late husband Before
his death. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an
ungodly Way.This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death
Hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the Bossom of
the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall
hold my peace". I don't need any telephone communication in this regard
because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me
always.I don't want them to know about this development and i want you to
know that With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply, I shall give you the contact of the Bank
where you shall reach them and i will also issue you a Letter Of
Authorization from the High Court Of Justice here in Malaysia that will
prove you to be a beneficiary of this fund while I want you and your
organization to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd,My
happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.Whoever that Wants to
serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.Please always be prayerful
all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing
another individual for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein while i am
Hoping to receive your urgent replying to me through this email
(daisy.abrm101@w.cn)

Have a Blessed Day.
Your Beloved Sister
Mrs.Daisy Abraham
