"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:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "hundred thousand united states 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)
- "sgtjasonh_kanes23@outlook.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Subject: Good day my dear Friend

Good day my dear Friend,
My name is Sergeant Jason H .Kane, a US Army serving in the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq. Now in Afghanistan I want you to kindly read this mail carefully to your understanding.
In 2003, my Men and I found over $900 Million US Dollar in Saddam Hussein's hideout in Baghdad, we sent some back to the Iraq Government after counting it in a Classified Location, but we also kept some behind for ourselves. Some of the money we shared among ourselves worth over $200 Million, I kept my own share for a while in a Secured Place. Am only contacting you because, I need someone to help me receive the Funds, since I have found a secured way of getting the package out of Iraq for someone to pick up through the help of a Red Cross Society or pilots that enjoy some immunities with us while in Iraq.
I do not know how long I will remain here as my Mission is still uncompleted yet, but I know this was Pure Divine Intervention from God.
Understand that, I really need someone I could trust, since i have already lost a Box of Gold to someone in Europe who said he will help me out. I won't like to make the same mistake again; the total amount of money is $7.5 (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). I am willing to entrust this Funds in your care till i complete my Mission and come over to meet with you for subsequent sharing and investment projects.
KINDLY VIEW THE LINK BELOW TO CONFIRM MY STATEMENT

If you can handle this deal, kindly contact me via: sgtjasonh_kanes23@outlook.com immediately. Be informed that 20% of the total Funds will be for you as compensation, all you need to do is to find a Safe Place where you can keep the Box till I leave Afghanistan.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Best regards,
Sgt Jason H. Kane
