"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 "dying widow" scam.
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.

Hello Dear,

My name is Mrs. Judith Morgan I am a dying woman who has decided to
donate what I have to charities through you. You may be wondering why I
chose you. But someone has to be chosen. I am old and was diagnosed for
cancer, after the death of my husband who hadleft me everything he
worked for.

I have been touched by the Lord to donate from what I have inherited
from my late husband to charity through you for the good work of
humanity. I have asked the Lord to forgive me all my sins and I believe
he has, because He is merciful. I will be going in for an operation, and
I pray that I survive the operation. I have decided to Will/Donate the
sum of Eight Million Five hundred thousand Dollars to charities through
you for the good work of the Lord, and to help the motherless,less
privileged and also for the assistance of the widows.

Presently, I have informed my consultant about my decision in willing
this fund to charity through you. I wish you all the best and may the
good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always
extend the good work to others. If you are interested in carrying out
this task, I will inform my consultant. I know i have never met you but
my mind tells me to do this,and I hope you act sincerely.

Please reply me via this address: judithmorgann@gmail.com

PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FULL NAME, ADDRESS, TELEPHONE/FAX NUMBER ON YOUR
REPLY
FOR EASY AND IMMEDIATE COMMUNICATION WITH MY CONSULTANT.

Your sincerely,

Mrs. Judith Morgan
