"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)
- "security keeping fee" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "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)
- ",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)
- "courier service" (Courier companies mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. They will have you send money to them, but won't deliver anything. )
This email message is a "New Partner from Paraguay" scam.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.
- +2348100638849
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 friend,

I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirm-able Bank Draft of $8,000,000.00 United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you for a couple of Months now. Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired or getting near to its expiring date, and one Dr.Wilson Fred, the Director Bank of Africa told me that your bank draft would be expired before it gets to you at your destination due to the expiring date written on it.

So I told him to convert the bank draft to cash payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for a three Months Course and I won't be back till the end of DECEMBER 2015. So What you have to do now is to contact the GLOBAL TRUST COURIER SERVICE COMPANY as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your Consignment. For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium, etc.

The only money you will send to the GLOBAL TRUST COURIER SERVICE COMPANY to deliver your Consignment directly to your postal Address in your country is ($155.00 USD) U.S Dollars only being for the Security Keeping Fee of your consignment. Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $155.00 US Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of demur-rage.

You have to contact them for the delivery of your consignment with this information bellow:

1.Your Full Name:......

2.Your Delivery Address:...

3.Your Cell Phone Number:.......

4.Your Age:........

5.Your Country:...........

6.Your OCCUPATION:.......

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address and Direct telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the delivery.

NOTE: The GLOBAL TRUST COURIER SERVICE COMPANY don't know the contents of the Box. I registered it as a box of Family Valuable Items. They did not know the contents was money, this is to avoid them delaying with the BOX.
