"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:
- "western union" (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. )
- "money gram" (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. )
- "mtcn" (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. )
- "your urgent reply" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
Western Union money transfer is completely untraceable and therefore is *not* safe to use with anyone you do not know personally. It is the preferred method of online criminals to collect money from their victims.

Attn: Customer ,

I am Mrs. Rose Daniel the managing director WU-Benin Republic
How are you toady?

The Minister of Finance was still complaining and asking me why you
refuse to accept your fund because of the little fee, which I don't
know what to ask him.

In reasoning wisely to this over delayed & complainants I told
Minister of Finance I want to write you myself to find out.
So that I will know the reason why you decide to reject such amount of
money US$790,000.00 which is your rightful & legal overdue inheritance
payment just because of transfer fee.

The reason why I sent this email to you is because it's your sweat and
for this reason you still have this last chance to claim your fund if
you can send $50 today because I have already arranged your wires
transfer ready for its daily wires to you but failing to do this, I
will allow them to have power over your fund and am very sorry if you
failed as this is the last chance.

Note that I am writing to let you know that your funds $1.5m is still
here waiting to be transfer to you by other from Federal Government of
Benin here, what is going on for your side because after you paid the
money you are not comply back again, I can't telling you lie because I
am Woman of my world I am here working for your own good and
betterment to see that you receive your funds that is why I am
contacting you day by day.

Therefore all you have to do once you receive this mail going to
Western Union or Money Gram and made the payment the remaining $50
which I have paid the rest on your behalf the amount you have to pay
now is $50 only, then after confirm the fee here for sure you will
receive your payment $1.5m through western union without any further
Delaying for your information your urgent reply is needed soonest

Due to my swear and vow I made upon this deal, couldn't keep silent
over your fund rather I must fulfil my words that is why I keep
struggling wrestling on your behalf to see that you get your
breakthrough of $1.5m.

I REPEAT MY VOW AGAIN, ONCE YOU SEND THIS REMAINING $50, DEFINITELY
YOUR PAYMENT MUST BE DONE TO YOU AND NOTHING MORE WILL BE REQUEST FROM
YOU. NO ADDITIONAL FEE AGAIN AFTER $50.

Note that the $50 for Minister Imprinter Signatory should be sending
to the Head Office direct to below:

Receiver: Name: Luke Obi
Country: Benin Republic
Question: Urgent
Answer: Urgent.
Amount: $50
Mtcn:::
Sender name:

He instructed me that you should send the money direct to his office
to avoid mistake or delaying, since is an urgent matter.

So copy the instruction above.
