"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:
- "hundred thousand united state 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)
- ",500,000" (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)
- "contact me immediately" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
- "united state dollar" (this email uses bad English)
- "dormant account" (Banks mentioned in 419 scams are always fake (real banks don't communicate using mobile phones or free webmail addresses))
This email message is a next of kin scam.

Dear,

My name is Mr. Mohd Alias Nadzri, Senior Account Officer with Public
Finance Berhad Sarawak Malaysia. I have packaged financial transaction
that will benefit both of us. As an account officer with the bank, it's my
duty to send financial reports to the head office. On the course of the
2008 end of the year report, I discovered that my branch has a dormant
account of a late client, with account balance of Six million five hundred
thousand united state dollars ($6,500,000.00) which is still unclaimed
because the beneficiary is not stated on file.

I have searched for someone with his last name who will be in a better
position to assist me in putting up with this claim as his next of kin so
that the fund will be officially credited to him and we will share the
proceed on a mutually agreed percentage.

The duration given by banks in our country with respect to the banking
rules to complete a claim after a client is late will soon elapse. If the
require time to complete the claim elapses, the fund will be confiscated
which I don't want it to happen. I therefore seek for your assistance to
present you as the next of kin. As an accountant with the bank, I cannot
be directly connected to this money thus I am compelled to request for
your assistance to receive this money into your bank account which I
intend to part with 40% of this fund to you as gratification while 60%
shall be for me but I need your own opinion on this. If you accept my
offer, contact me immediately for more details.

NOTE: There is totally no risk involve in this transaction as there is
NEVER any form of adverse legal implication for putting up the claim as
the next of kin in any part of the world. It will be a bank-to-bank
transfer. All I need from you is to stand as the next of kin to our late
client and provide an account where this money will be transferred into.

I will appreciate your immediate reply for more details and the next step
to follow for the success of this transaction. Further directives on how
this transaction will be workable will be provided to you once I receive
your response.

Note: I am dealing with you on a personal note. Hence you have to keep
this transaction confidential.

Mr. Mohd Alias Nadzri
