"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.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "million us dollars" (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)
- ",000,000" (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)
- "00,000.00" (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)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

West Africa.I want to have a common relationship with you, I need to

trustee.My father late Chief George Dasuki was a businessman before

his death on November 9th, 2009.I am the only child because my mother

died while giving birth to me.Some months after the death of my

father, two of my uncles conspired against me and sold my father's

properties to a Chinese businessman all because I am a girl.

After many Months, I opened my father's briefcase and saw some

documents which my late father used and deposited money in a Bank here

in Nigeria with my name as the next of kin. I have tried to withdraw

the money so that I can start a better life and take care of myself.

The Branch manager of the Bank whom I met in person told me that my

present status does not permit me by the local laws to clear money or

make a transfer of money into an account.

He advised me to provide a trustee who will help me and invest the

money or I should wait till when I will be 25 years old according to

the law of Nigeria.

I have chosen to contact you and would like you to take me as your

own blood and help me. I will like to disclose much to you if you can

help me to relocate to your country because my uncle has threatened to

kill me.The amount is TEN Million US Dollars ($10,000,000.00) and I

have confirmed it from the bank.

You will help me to place the money in a more profitable business

investment in your Country.You will also help by getting a nice

University in your country so that I can complete my studies.

It is my intention to hand over the total money to you so you may

take care of me with it and also invest in anything you wish. I just

need to be educated.

Get Back To me Via My Private and Secured Email : anitdasuki@gmail.com
