"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:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
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.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Subject: YOU AND I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN, KINDLY RESPOND.

Good day to you,

My name is Mrs.Marie Kundei I am an Account Director of a Private Banking Service for the United Overseas Bank (UOB), here in Vancouver, Canada. I was also the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to one of our late investors, a (multi-millionaire) and a valued customer of my department. He passed away couple of years ago. I can confirm with certainty that the said investor died intestate and had no next of kin to his estates. I am of the settled conviction that using my insider leverage and working with you can secure the funds in the account for the both of us.

My contact to you today is to start by building a strong bond with an experienced business person as you, who would be well capable of handling an important business transaction in the amount of "millions of US$ Dollars" (the actual amount will be disclosed to you during our telephone discussion on the matter).
The transaction is 100% legitimate, so we have absolutely nothing to worry about. I have seized all relevant documents (Legal and Banking) that will facilitate my putting you forward as the claimant/ beneficiary of the funds and ultimately transfer the money to any account nominated by you anywhere in the World. We could either split the total amount by meeting face-face but it is certain i have a higher share from yours since i have to settle that of my colleagues department.

Because of the nature of this business transaction, I must ask that you do not disclose any information regarding my contact with you to a third party. This is personal.
I am open to any suggestion you may have in order for us to achieve success in this great opportunity.

Kind Regards,
Mrs.Marie Kundei
