"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:
- "fund beneficiary" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
- "executive governor" (the name of a person or institution often appearing in 419 scams)
- "central bank of nigeria" (the name of a person or institution often appearing in 419 scams)
- "www.cenbank.org" (the name of a person or institution often appearing in 419 scams)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Attention: Fund Beneficiary

Greetings to you and your family. My name is Juliana Egoh, the Special/Personal Assistant to (Mr Godwin Emefiele) the Executive Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). I have emailed you earlier without a response. In my first email I mentioned about that my boss: Mr Godwin Emefiele, the Executive Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and some of his colleagues from other ministries who are assigned with the duty of transferring some money to you, have conspired to divert the funds to another account.

I can help you repatriate this fund to you if i am sure that I will be protected because if not, my life will be in danger!!.. This money will be transferred to their private account on or before 28th of November, 2014 but I do not want that to happen. If you are willing to get your total payment directed into your account or through online banking, call or email me to reconfirm your account particulars and other related information's on your long overdue contract payment.

Yours in Service,.

Dr, Mrs. Juliana Egoh
