"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.

My Dearest Friend,Please work for God and Charity
Â
My name is Mrs. Rita Udoh. I am married to late Mr. Arthur Udoh who worked with a Cocoa industry here in Benin republic for nine years before he died in the year October 2006. We were married for Ten years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for four days.
Â
When my late husband was alive we deposited the sum of $6.5Million with oneÂ of the good banks here in Benin republic , presently, this money is stillÂ with the bank and my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to my cancer problem, as I was diagnosed of cancer about two yearsÂ now.
Â
As I have known my condition. I am not looking for anything else but for someone with the fear of God. Who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in, I want a person that will use this fund to orphanages, Widows, unable men, HIV/AIDS services and Charity home organization, etc.
Â
I took this decision because I have no child that will inherit this money, so I and my late husband decide to use the money to work for charity.
Â
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of this fund. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here. For confidential reasons contact my Alternate Email: udohmrsrita@gmail.com
Â
Â
Expecting to hear from you soon.
Â
Â
Sincerely,
Mrs. Rita Udoh
