"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:
- "money laundering" ("anti-terrorist", "anti-money laundering" or "drug-free" certificates are a common way for criminals in fake lottery scams and other Advance Fee scams to get you to send money to them. There are no such certificates in the real banking world. )
- "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. )
- "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. )
- "abuja" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
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.

Attention Needed.

Attention to you. This is the final warning you are going to receive from
me do you get me????

I hope your understand how many times this message has been sent to you?.

We have warned you so many times and you have decided to ignore our e-mails
or because you believe we have not been instructed to get you arrested, and
today if you fail to respond back to us with the payment then, we would
first send a letter to the mayor of the city where you reside and direct
them to close your bank account until you have been jailed and all your
properties will be confiscated by the FBI. We would also send a letter to
the company/agency that you are working for so that they could get you
fired until we are through with our investigations because a suspect is not
suppose to be working for the government or any private organization.

Your id which we have in our database been sent to all the crimes agencies
in (USA) for them to insert you in their website as an internet fraudsters
and to warn people from having any deals with you. This would have been
solved all this while if you had gotten the certificate signed, endorsed
and stamped as you where instructed in the e-mail below. this is the
federal bureau of investigation (FBI) am writing in response to the e-mail
you sent to us and am using this medium to inform you that there is no more
time left to waste because you have been given from the 13th of January. As
stated earlier to have the document endorsed, signed and stamped without
failure and you must adhere to this directives to avoid you blaming
yourself at last when we must have arrested and jailed you for life and all
your properties confiscated.

You failed to comply with our directives and that was the reason why we
didn't hear from you on the 13th as our director has already been notified
about you get the process completed yesterday and right now the warrant of
arrest has been signed against you and it will be carried out in the next
48hours as strictly signed by the FBI director. We have investigated and
found out that you didn't have any idea when the fraudulent deal was
committed with your information's/identity and right now if you id is
placed on our website as a wanted person, i believe you know that it will
be a shame to you and your entire family because after then it will be
announce in all the local channels that you are wanted by the FBI.

As a good Christian and a honest man, I decided to see how i could be of
help to you because i would not be happy to see you end up in jail and all
your properties confiscated all because your information's was used to
carry out a fraudulent transactions, i called the efcc and they directed me
to a private attorney who could help you get the process done and he stated
that he will endorse, sign and stamp the document at the sum of $250.00 usd
only and i believe this process is cheaper for you. You need to do
everything possible within today and tomorrow to get this process done
because our director has called to inform me that the warrant of arrest has
been signed against you and once it has been approved, then the arrest will
be carried out, and from our investigations we learn that you were the
person that forwarded your identity to one impostor/fraudsters in Benin
Republic last year when he had a deal with you about the transfer of some
illegal funds into your bank account which is valued at the sum of large
amount of money.

I pleaded on your behalf so that this agency could give from tomorrow on,so
that you could get this process done because i learn that you were sent
several e-mails without getting a response from you, please bear it in mind
that this is the only way that i can be able to help you at this moment or
you would have to face the law and its consequences once it has befall on
you. You would make the payment through western union money transfer with
the below details.

Receiver Name: Arinze Okagbue.
Country: Republic Nigeria
City: Abuja
Text question: You
Text answer: Me
Amount: $250
Senders name:
Senders Country:

Send the payment details to me which are senders name and address, mtcn
number, text question and answer used and the amount sent. Make sure that
you didn't hesitate making the payment down to the agency by today or
tomorrow so that they could have the certificate endorsed, signed and
stamped immediately without any further delay. After all this process has
been carried out, then we would have to proceed to the bank for the
transfer of your compensation funds which is valued at the sum of
$10,500.000.00 MILLION U.S. Dollars which was suppose to have been
transferred to you all this while.

Note/ all the crimes agencies have been contacted on this regards and we
shall trace and arrest you if you disregard this instructions. You are
given a grace tomorrow to make the payment for the document after which
your failure to do that will attract a maximum arrest and finally you will
be appearing in court for act of terrorism, money laundering and drug
trafficking charges, so be warned not to try any thing funny because you
are been watched.

Thanks as i wait for your response

Respectively:

Agent Klaus Helmotsi.
