"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.

Hello,
I am Aisha Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi, Daughter of the former Libyan leader,
Col. Muammar Gaddafi. I am offering you a partnership proposal in a
classified monetary transaction, which involves the need to secretly
relocate and secures some of our family funds concealed in a special escrow
dormant holding with a financial services company in Europe. I am in a very
difficult situation and I must immediately relocate this fund for safety
and investments purposes.

More so, this must be done in such a way that it must not be tied to me as
a result of my father's death and politics circumstances. More details of
the transaction will be disclosed to you once you can assure me that you
can be trusted to handle this. Honesty and trust is what I am in quest of,
so therefore your assurance of confidentiality and trust will be highly
appreciated. For further clarification.

Find below the links where some of our assets were freezes.
