"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:
- "huge amount of money" (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.
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: Dear Beneficiary.

Dear Beneficiary.

I am Senator Pius Anyim Pius, secretary of the federal government of Nigeria.. I believe you don't know me though, I decided to reach you because I do not have anything against you, but your so called partners. The person that involved you in this transaction.

In years back I fixed your name on the Payment roll in my office with paymaster general's Computer as beneficiary for transfer deal with arrangement to remit huge amount of money
by registering you as the legal beneficiary. We agreed that I will get 30% of the total fund, 40% for YOU and 30% for him. After I programmed your name on the payment computer as the legal beneficiary, your so claimed partners started avoiding me in the pretext to push me out of the business that was why I changed the information without his notice.

Alternatively, the paymaster general instigated another nominee Mr. Wendel to receive the fund with the written approval from the court that you are dead. The name Me. Wendel with account detail:
Name of Bank: PNC Bank
Name on the Account: Balaclava, LLC
Account Number: 4104228745
Swiftcode: PNCCUS33
Routing number: 041000124.

That made it impossible for you to receive the payment no-matter what both of you try. I am aware that you have tried so many officials to get approvals concerning the money but all efforts to no success. Rather they keep asking fees ON and ON. Well, this is the cause of the problem. I am aware the attempt of offshore payment but the arrangement did not work
because of the wrong information. Bear in mind that your payment will NOT and you will NEVER receive any payment from any OFFSHORE CENTER OR ONLINE without my consent.

You MUST promise me NOT to allow ANY OTHER PERSON know about this and I will
have 50% of the money then 50% for you because it is only two of us. You
MUST assure me that you will not betray me . If you are ready, do contact me through this Email address: sgf.nigeria@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards.
Mr. Anyim Pius Anyim.
Secretary, Government of Nigeria.(SGF)
