"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.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
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.
- +2347032701280 (Nigeria, prepaid mobile phone)
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.

Grow your business,

Believe you me or not, sending extracted emails is sometimes like wasting
time fetching water with basket because

1 as you are extracting emails other people are as well extracting the
same emails and while working your client more than hundred people are as
well working him or her from other walks of life, sometime they get
confuse and do not know which is a scam or who to trust.

2 you bomb the same person over and over again because any time you
extract 1, you ignorantly extract the same emails you have extracted
before 2 you extract blacklisted mails or old dead emails

3 the worst of it all is buying emails from people who sales the same
emails to 100s of people and as well duplicate emails or you pay for tools
and the hacker disappear with money.

If you want, I'll sale to you hot and current fresh email leads that will
give you good result; I was getting my leads every 3 or 7days but now i
get daily update emails from a IT personnel working with IRS IT department
in US... Am sure you know what that means.

Am a Nigerian living in Nigeria, i know the word Nigeria is discouraging
but I do personally test my emails/tools and it been tested good, so no
email for text and if you cannot give me benefit of doubt, then do not
waste your time contacting me. I hate stories and will not entertain long
talk. You are free to deal with me or not but if you worry about this,
then don't pay that's the safest way. You don't need to tell me stories on
how you have been scam by hacker etc.

I have Worldwide Email, WEBMAIL, smtp, 1MONTH RDP, Domain, Online Banking,
fullz, CC, Site payment and i also send emails for people.

Its best treating your job with your domain or website and get good
result. Good decision making in any business is key to success. I don't
know the level of your finances, but I pray you will meet the right person
as in good client before the end of the year and you will make it.
