"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.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "demurrages " (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. )
- "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)
- "million united states dollars" (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)
- "await your urgent response" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
- "the diplomat " ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "liberia" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
- "god-fearing " (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a next of kin scam.
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.

Daniel Calabi and my Sister Princess Jane Calabi a Liberian, my consignment
contains $5.5 million United States dollars.

The consignments it is presently in Offshore and the consignment gets to
Offshore through the help of a United Nation diplomat Mr Samuel Ebo. The
fact is that United Nation diplomat Mr Samuel Ebo is supposed to have
delivered this consignment to a man called Mr Honesto Sabroso Tajuna in
Offshore.

The week United Nation diplomat Mr Samuel Ebo is suppose to deliver the
consignment to him, when he got to offshore after clearing the consignment
from the Airport, he call Mr Honesto Sabroso Tajuna to tell him the
description to is house for the delivery, but is wife answered the call and
told United Nation diplomat Mr Samuel Ebo that her husband Mr Honesto

hours later.

And Mr Honesto Sabroso Tajuna, has already paid the demurrages from the
security company, he paid for Bullion van that took the consignment to the
airport and he paid for custom check report he also assisted us in getting
the drug/Anti Terrorist Certificate, which is so expensive that he spent
$25 thousand dollars to acquire it, but unfortunately he died in a car
accident, that was why United Nation diplomat Mr Samuel Ebo has to deposit
