"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 security company " (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "here in london united kingdom" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "might come to you as a surprise" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "million british pounds" (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)
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.

Subject: From Mrs.Amina Saib (Urgent Message)

Good Day.

With tears rolling down my eyes and with total submission to the
will of God, I Choose this means to communicate you because I am
sure I will get in contact with the right person that will be
honest to me. This mail might come to you as a surprise and the
temptation to ignore it as unserious could come into your mind
but please consider it a divine wish and accept it with a deep
sense of humility.

I am Mrs.Amina Saib, I worked as a financial consultant and i was
also the President/CEO of servicing company here in London United
Kingdom. I was married for 32 years with no child and my husband
died 5years ago. Since my husband died, I decided not to re-marry
or adopt a child, this is basically my own decision to honor him
for the love we shared and the life we lived for. Before this
happened my business and love for making money was all I was
cared for and I never cared about other people. But since my
Husband died and also because I had no child to call my own, I
have found a new desire to assist the helpless, I have been
helping orphans in orphanages/motherless homes/humanitarians. I
have donated some money to orphans in Sudan, Ethiopia,Austria,
Germany and some Asian countries.

IN SUMMARY: I have GBP.£9,000,000.00(Nine million British
pounds sterling) which I deposited in a bank in London United
Kingdom as a family treasure & artifiarts,I have been suffering
from oesophageal cancer for 3years now, though what disturbs me
most is stroke. I want you to assist me in receiving the fund
(GBP.£9,000,000.00), and distributing the money to charity
Organizations, I agree to reward you with part of the money for
your Assistance, kindness and participation in this Godly
project. Before I Became ill, I kept GBP.£ 9Million in a long-
term deposit in a security Company which I declared as a family
treasure and artifiarts. I am in the Hospital now, where I have
been undergoing treatment for oesophageal cancer and my doctors
have told me yesterday that I have only a few weeks to die. It is
my last wish to see this money distributed to charity
organizations.

Remember that life itself is a misery and nobody can tell what
can be of it. Because my relatives and friends have squandered so
much of my money since My illness, I cannot live with the agony
of entrusting this huge responsibility to any to them. Please, I
beg you in the name of God to Help me to receive the GBP.£9
Million which I deposited with the name of my late Husband as the
next of kin. Because of my health situation, the bank has
required me to change my next of kin so that the money will be
transferred to you, because my last wish is to be accomplished,
by Sharing the money among charity organizations.

You are at liberty to use your discretion to distribute the money
and feel free as well to reimburse yourself when you have the
money for any expenses in distributing the money to charity
organizations. I am willing to reward you for your assistance and
kindness.

I promise you that i will send you all the necessary documents
needed in claiming this money from the bank.
Kindly contact me via E-mail at: aminasaib@hotmail.com for more
details.

May the good Lord bless you and your family !
Best Regards.
FROM MRS.AMINA SAIB.
