"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:
- "with absolute secrecy" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
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.

Dear Sir,

Good day to you and your family.I apologize if the content here-under are
contrary to your moral ethics but please treat with absolute secrecy and
personal. My name is Engr. Amin Saleh Qasem from Yemen, but worked in
Damascus, Syria. I am 46
years Old, and i am a personal investor, also an oil Tycoon in Syria and
Saudi Arabia: Al Furat Petroleum Company (AFPC), the leader in the region in
Reservoir Management.

AFPC was established under Service Contract no. 210 ratified by Law no. 43
of 1977 and named as per decree-law no. 12 in 1985. AFPC is a joint venture
company between the General Petroleum Corporation (50%) and private
shareholders Syria Shell Petroleum Development (SSPD) etc ........ Due to
the war in Syria,my Father(now late), moved some funds into a bank in
Burkina faso,West Africa, for safety. The amount that was moved to the bank
is $42.6Million usd with the help of his colleague name: Mr.wilhelm, to
deposit the fund.

Since the death of my Father, i had written to the bank for the release of
the funds to me, but the bank said that the will given to them was that i
have to produce a foreigner who has vast experience in oil and gas,real
estates, automative industry,etc, that can help me invest the funds in a
very lucrative business, only then will the bank release
the funds to me and new partner.That is the reason i decided to contact you.
If you are interested, kindly write back with your personal datas, so that i
know whom i want to
make my partner.

Moreso,I want you to tell me more about good investment so that we could
move this fund into your account in your country, then I could relocate my
family to your country, out of Syria, Now that Syria security and Economic
independence had been lost to the greatest lower level, and our culture has
been lost. I had to relocate my family out
from Syria to Burkina Faso where the fund is deposited.

I need a foreign partner to enable me transport my investment capital and
then relocate with my family, honestly. I will appreciate whatever result
you may brief me. Do let me know your idea and knowledge regarding these or
any other profitable investment you may suggest.

I shall tell you more about this transaction as soon as i get your readiness
concerning this transaction.

Waiting for your reply,

Thanks and best regards,

Engr. Amin Saleh Qasem.
