"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:
- "a diplomat " ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
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.

Sir,

With a deep sense of hornesty and truth, I present to you a business offer of a life time. My name is James Humphery, the managing director of Ockland consortium, a global business networking organization and we have been consulted by a
reputable client who happens to be a diplomat to source a reliable businessman/company/organization capable of receiving funds running in millions of dollars slated for offshore investment in your country.
The investor wishes that this operation be kept secret and also requires that you assist in receiving the funds in your country through bank transfer process and is willing to compensate you with 30% of the total funds involved.
It is undeniable that in this present time, it is difficult to come across trusted individuals to engage in business transactions due to widespread abuses and corruption, hence if you can demonstrate trust and transparency and also if you can be able
to receive large sums of money running in millions of USD in your overseas account, please feel free to request comprehensive business package and agreements by contacting my client at the email address below:
komills2009@inbox.ru
Thanks
James Humphery
