"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:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "the consignment" (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)
- "consignment " (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)
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.

I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit both of us, as
the regional DISPATCH OFFICER of the Waterfront Security Company London
UK, it is my duty to send in a financial report to my head office in the
capital city (USA) at the end of each year. On the course of the last
year
2014 year report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the DISPATCH
OFFICER that a customer who lodged a box of money worth the sum of
$6,800,000.00 (Six Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars) is late
without no beneficiary to claim the fund that is in the consignment box
which he deposited with us, so ever since then, the consignment box have
been here without no one to claim it, which my head office is not aware
of it and will never be aware of.

As a DISPATCH OFFICIAL of the Security Company I cannot directly be
connected to this consignment box of fund, so this informed me of
contacting you for us to work together in order for this money to be
delivered to you by my company as the owner of the fund, so that you can
receive this fund for us to SHARE. Meanwhile, you will have
45% of the total fund, while i will have 45%, while 10% will be used for
expenses. This consignment box will be delivered directly to your home
address,
all I need from you is for you to stand claim as the beneficiary of
this
fund which was lodged/deposited with our branch so that my Head office
can order
the delivery to your designated address immediately. I have all the
neccessary
pepers/documents that covers this transaction, i also have the Money
Deposit
Certificate which a copy of it was issued to the depositor the day the
deposit was made.

Please get back to me If you accept to work with me.
As soon as I receive your response i will then tell you in details how
we can attain/run
this transaction so that the delivery will be done without any single
delay. Please contact
