"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:
- "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)
- "here in united kingdom" (this email uses bad English)
- "lillian280@outlook.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
This email message is a next of kin scam.

my name Lillian Lugard, Single, 24years of age, female, from Nigeria
but I currently stay in United Kingdom. I lost my parents in Auto car
crash 7years ago while I was (16years). I am seeking for a God
fearing, truthful, loving partner. Before the death of my later
father, he deposited the sum of ($12,800,000.00 US Dollars) with one
of the reputable bank in Nigeria which I am the next of kins. However,
I have informed the bank about my plans of transferring the money to
me here in United Kingdom to start a new life but I don't know that my
late father have an agreement with the bank that I should be up to 30
years of age before I will have direct access to the money. If not,
then I should provide my partner to stand for me as my trustee to the
bank so that the bank will make the transfer into my partners account.

The access to this fund has been denied me because of the age
agreement that my late father made with the bank and my status as
orphanage. The bank is requesting a partner who will stand on my
behalf and my deep desire to complete my studies also considering the
event that took away my parents and my siblings that kept me as an
orphan have made me to decide to relocate. I promise you 30% (percent)
of this fund at the end of the transaction.

If you are interested, please contact me through my personal email
(lillian280@outlook.com). I will be waiting for your reply.

Thanks
Lilly!
