"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:
- "million 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)
- ",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)
- "diplomatic courier" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "barrister" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
- "barr." (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
- "charles soludo" (the name of a person or institution often appearing in 419 scams)
- "cheque " (Beware of any scheme that involves cashing checks or money orders and then wiring a portion of the funds somewhere - you'll be liable for the entire amount if the checks or money orders turn out to be fake, even after you have received and forwarded cash. If it's a lottery prize, remember that real lotteries do not pay large prizes by check. They wire the money directly to your bank account and you do not pay for that. Many scammers promise a large check only in order to then demand payment of courier fees for a fake courier service. )
- "certified bank draft" (Beware of any scheme that involves cashing checks or money orders and then wiring a portion of the funds somewhere - you'll be liable for the entire amount if the checks or money orders turn out to be fake, even after you have received and forwarded cash. If it's a lottery prize, remember that real lotteries do not pay large prizes by check. They wire the money directly to your bank account and you do not pay for that. Many scammers promise a large check only in order to then demand payment of courier fees for a fake courier service. )
- "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)

Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.

Stop Contacting Them.

I am Mrs. Wendy Jaroslawski, I am a US citizen, 68 years Old. I reside here in NV Las

Vegas. My residential address is as follows. 10321 Crystal Arch Ave, Las Vegas, NV

89129,United States,I now own a yoga/fitness studio, Yoga for The Soul, in the northwest

where you walk in and feel peace and harmony. You get personalized attention to you

accomplish the goals you have set. Nutritional consultation is also offered.Here is my

website, you can check it out http://www.yogaforthesoul.com/. am thinking of relocating

since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria and

Benin Republic many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $45,000 while in

the US,trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents,And I was

directed to meet Barrister Harry Nelson who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD

COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is

contacting us through emails are fake.

Inheritence/Compensation Law which clearly states the beneficiary/recipient is exempt from

paying any out of pocket fees or charges to receive said funds.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the

most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of

$15,000,000.00 (fifteen million dollars) Moreover, Barrister Harry Nelson , showed me the

full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name as

one of the beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I decided to email you to

stop dealing with those people, they are not with your funds, they are only making money

out of you.

I will advise you to contact Barrister Harry Nelson
You have to contact him directly on this information below.

COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE

Name: Barrister Harry Nelson
Email: harry.nelson29@aol.com

Listed below are the mafias and banks behind the non release of your funds that I managed

to sneak out for your kind perusal.

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you

that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage

of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met

Barrister Harry was just $250 for the delivery charges, take note of that.

( NOTE: TELLING YOU TO PAY FOR ANY DELIVERY OR COURIER CHARGE, THAT IS ALL NOTHING BUT

LIES, I REPEAT THE ONLY MONEY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY AND WHICH I ALSO PAID IS $250 FOR THE

DELIVERY CHARGES AS IMPOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND COURIER AGENCY ON YOUR PACKAGE

CONTAINING YOUR CERTIFIED BANK DRAFT CHEQUE WHICH WILL BE REACHING YOU THROUGH THE GLOBAL

REGULAR MAIL SERVICE. )

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Barrister Harry

Nelson so that he can help you to Deliver your fund instead of dealing with those liars

that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your

transaction.

Thank You and Remain Blessed.
