"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:
- "my direct line" (a "direct line" in a scam usually means an untraceable mobile phone number used by a scammer in an internet cafe, a redirection service number that forwards to a mobile or a free voicemailbox in a different country.)
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.

Subject: Your Payment Is Available Now!!

Hello My Dear,

I have earlier sent this email to you in 2014 and due to the
silent and reluctance on your part I have to resend it again this
2015 trying to attract your urgent and maximum attention.
Again, I am Ms. RoseMarie Wasserman, from Texas, currently working
with Wells Fargo at the Telex&ATM Department here in Conroe, TX
branch. I am aware of the Part Payment of your long awaiting
Inheritance/Compensation Fund in the amount of $5, 000, 000.00 as
allocated to you and other Scam Victims from World Bank in
conjunction with the U S Department of Treasury. As a result, the
details were computed into our bank MT10 Teller Machine for Onward
Transmission, but my boss wouldn't get you informed of this
development or let go the numerous charges considering their
selfish interest, but I can assure you a successful completion of
this payment if you are ready to work with me and keep the
absolute confidentiality of this information.

I will only obtain Waver Reduction on your name and the allocated
amount from Office the United States Financial Regulatory
Authority with our bank influence, and once I have it, I can
comfortably kick the transfer button direct to your choice of bank
account.

Please, be warned not to reveal this information to any third
party when you receive it to avoid giving wrong persons the room
to contacting our office to impersonate, claim or divert your
payment for their selfish interest. I know you have spent several
times trying to receive your fund but I assure you, this is the
time for you to rejoice, I hate what my boss and other officials
are doing to many of our customers beneficiaries and I wish to
work against their selfish act. Please, contact me on my private
email for security reasons: (RoseMarie@uymail.com) I can also
attend to your communications before and after working hours on my iPad.
If you are interested, reconfirm your current information as

follows for this process to take effect immediately.

Your Full Names:
Your Current Home Address:
Your Direct Cell Phone No:
Your Current Occupation:
Your Present Marital Status
Your Direct Cell Phone Number:
Your Bank Full Name:
Your Bank Complete Address:
Your Bank E-mail Address:

Call my direct line (214)270-0674. Please, delete this message if
