"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: RE: que DIEU vous benisse

Je dÃ©sire aider les enfants pauvres et dÃ©munies se trouvant dans une
situation difficile , et aussi des orphelins. Je suis une patiente en
sous observation mÃ©dical au Centre dâ€™hÃ´pital Elisabeth Queens sise au
Grande-Bretagne. Jâ€™ai toujours privilÃ©giÃ© le service de ma nation au
dÃ©triment de ma propre santÃ© et voilÃ aujourdâ€™hui cela me rattrape, mais
je suis quand mÃªme fiÃ¨re dâ€™avoir pu aider des gens autour de moi et je
pense pouvoir continuer Ã le faire Ã travers vous. J'y crois plus si je
vais vivre encore longtemps sur cette terre, cela fait des annÃ©es que je
traÃ®ne le mal dont je souffre et Ã ce que je vois la mÃ©decine ne peut
plus rien, c'est mÃªme malgrÃ© moi que je vous contact pour vous parler de
mon offre d'une valeur de un million cinq cent mille euros se trouvant
au niveau du Service de Gardiennage de la Banque iternational du Benin.
Aussi , je veux que vous m'accompagnez dans vos priÃ¨res et surtout par
mon image vous devenez le pÃ¨re ou la mÃ¨re des enfants en situation
critique, devenir Ã©galement par mon image le bÃ¢tisseur de plusieurs
temples de Dieu, des MosquÃ©es, des Ã©coles pour l'alphabÃ©tisation des
enfants qui n'ont pas la chance d'aller Ã l'Ã©cole.
