"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:
- "necessary legal documents" (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. )
- "huge deposit" (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 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)
- "hundred thousand 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)
- "keep this confidential" (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 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.

Subject: Mr. James Jele Jr !!!

Good Day,

I am Mr. James Jele Jr. The Financial Advisor and property manager to MR. ADAM STEWART, a British National, also a businessman based in South Africa and Kenya, who was involved in an air crash along with members of his family in May 5 of 2007.

Kindly confirm from the link below;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya_Airways_Flight_507

Since then I have made several inquiries to his Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but to no avail, hence I contacted you for your assistance. I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit of US$ 25,500.000.00 ( Twenty Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) was lodged.

Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next Thirty official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for almost 5 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are not his relative so that the proceeds of this account valued at US $25.5 Million Dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can use it for investment purpose. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money is in United States Dollars and the former owner Mr. Adam Stewart is a foreigner too.

However, I would like to add here that upon your acceptance to assist me in this deal, You will be rewarded with 40% of the total sum for your honest assistance and co-operation,10% for taxation and any expenses that may come up either by me or by you during the transfer, while 50% remain for me for investment. I intend to effect the transfer within a few days from the date of receipt of the following information from you:

1. Your Full names
2. Age
3. Address
4. Telephone and fax numbers.

I have all necessary legal documents that will be used to back up claims from the bank. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable me carry out this deal. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law. Please do contact me with the below information :

Email : jamesjelejr@yahoo.com.hk

After your response,we will discuss further. Please do remember to keep this confidential.

Best Regards,

Mr. James Jele Jr.
