"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:
- "is 100% risk free" (almost true for the criminal trying to scam you - arrests of online criminals are rare)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Subject: My proposal (A reminder)

My friend,

I am aware of the unsafe nature of the internet but due to the prevailing circumstances, i don’t have any other option than to seek your partnership through this medium. Permit me, my name is Gyorgy Szabo, i work with an Oil Exploration & Production Organisation (Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd) in Dublin, Ireland.

I am searching for a foreign partner who will partner with me in the completion of a multimillion dollar transaction which involves transfering into your account some excess profit realized from crude oil exploration. This money has to be transferred into a foreign partner's account whom i will project as a contractor with adequate and perfected documents. The transaction has to do with you receiving and investing my share under your current portfolio or into any viable venture because i am still active in service.

The transaction is 100% risk free, financially profitable and economically viable. I am open for negotiation. All arrangements will be made under a legitimate framework. Full details will be disclosed to you on your expression of interest. I look forward to your favorable response.

Thanks,

Dr. Gyorgy Szabo,
Director of TXM Exploration & Production
Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd
5th Floor, Styne House
Upper Hatch Street
