"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:
- ",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)
- "% will be for you" (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)
- "united state of america" (this email uses bad English)

I have suffered allot of pains in this sickness and so much loneliness
here, and so funny world that after all i inherited from my husband, i
still cannot buy a good health. and i wish and pray that you the
reader will never suffer or experience this situation In Jesus name.
as i am about to die all i want now is that my inherited money be
used in charity work for humanitarian service to help the poor and
needy.

My late husband was a very wealthy oil merchant and after his death, i
inherited the sum of $118,000,000.00 (One Hundred and Eighteen Million
United State Of American Dollars) which i have managed all these
while before i became sick and diagnose to die soon. This
$118,000,000.00 is deposit with a security bank in London.

I am contacting you with regard to my last wish on charity work for
humanitarian service, i want 40% of the fund used to open a foundation
for cancer in my name 35% for motherless babies less privilege and
homeless in EUROPE,AMERICA, ASIA AND AFRICA and 25% will be for you
because of your help and any other process you might undergo in
caring out my wish.

Please i seek your utmost trust to help me accomplish this wish on
charity work for humanitarian service, please if you know that you

sake and remember GOD is watching us. and he will judge all men. every
