"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:
- "million united states 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)
This email message is a "dying merchant" 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.

Kindest Attention:

My name is Mr Pablo Dench Pirez, I am from Portugal . I have been

diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has defied all forms of medical

treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to

live,according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my

life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but

my business.

Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to

people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I

cared for.But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more

to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.

I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I

would live my life a different way from how I have lived it.

Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my

property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as

well as few close friends .I want God to be merciful to me and accept

my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity rganizations,as I

want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far,I

have Distributed money to some charity organizations in the

U.A.E,Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so

badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my

family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I

have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they

refused and kept the money to themselves.

Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended

with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one

knows of is the huge cash deposit of Thirty Million United States

Dollars($30,000,000,00) that I have with an Finance Vaulting Unit

Abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch

it to charity organizations.

N/B:

Kindly note that 30% of this funds must go to the tsunami victims,50%

to other Charity Organization and 20% for your effort and time.

I cannot talk with you on the phone due to my health situation, as I

am using my Lap Top Computer to communicate with you. You should

respond to this e-mail if you are interested in carrying out this

assignment on my behalf.

God be with you.
Mr Pablo Dench Pirez
