"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.

Bonjour Bien AimÃ©
Je suis madame ROSALINDA LEGAULE, une citoyenne FranÃ§aise.
Avant la mort subite de mon mari, nous Ã©tions des personnes de bonne
moralitÃ©. Mais mon mari et moi avons Ã©tÃ© rejetÃ©s par notre diffÃ©rente
famille tout simplement parce que nous avons relÃ¢chÃ© la religion
islamique et nous avons donnÃ©, notre vie a JÃ©sus christ.
Suivant rÃ©cemment les nouvelles sur ma santÃ©, mon docteur m'a informÃ©
que je ne vivrai pas encore longtemps. et m'a indique que dans deux
mois il aura une saturation de cette maladie dans plusieurs parties de
mon corps (CANCER). j'ai perdu mon fils par un accident.
Maintenant que je connais la situation que je vis,et j'ai dÃ©cidÃ© de
faire un DON pour en faire bon usage, c'est-Ã -dire, pour aider les
pauvres qui souffrent et qui sont dans la dÃ©prime, aider les
communautÃ©s chrÃ©tiens, groupes des jeunes gens, investir dans le
domaine agricole et pour l'Ã©tablissement d'un fond de financement.
je vous accorde ce DON et si vous acceptez alors que le nom du seigneur
soit bÃ©nis. je demande une priÃ¨re pour moi qui souffre en ce moment sur
mon lit d'hÃ´pital je vous envoie mes photos aprÃ¨s votre rÃ©ponse pour
mieux me connaitre. Merci de me rÃ©pondre.

Veillez m'Ã©crire a cet adresse e-mail: rosalindalegaule@yahoo.fr
A bientÃ´t.

Vve ROSALINDA LEGAULE
