"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:
- "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.

Subject: THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR FUNDS !!!

I am Mrs Anita Andrew, I am a US citizen, 48

years Old. I reside here in Sunny-Dale Ave. My

residential address is as follows. 1934 Sunny-

Dale Ave,San Francisco,Ca 94134 , United

States, am thinking of relocating since I am

now rich. I am one of those that took part in

the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and

they refused to pay me, I had paid over US

$20,000 while in the US, trying to get my

payment all to no avail.
So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all

my compensation documents, And I was directed

to meet Diplomat Williams Richard, who is the

member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, and I

contacted him and he explained everything to

me. He said whoever is contacting us through

emails are fake.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of

my Compensation payment. Right now I am the

most happiest man on earth because I have

received my compensation funds of $2,700,000.00

Moreover,diplomat Williams Richard, showed me

the full information of those that are yet to

receive their payments and I saw your email

address as one of the beneficiaries, that is

why I decided to email you to stop dealing with

those people, they are not with your fund, they

are only making money out of you. I will advise

you to contact Diplomat Williams Richard, with

your phone number and fullnames,physical

address.
You have to contact him directly on this

information below.

Send to him the following:-
1. Your full name
2. Your physical address
3. Your house phone
4. Your cell phone

COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE
Name : Diplomat Williams Richard
Email: williamsrichard037@yahoo.com

You really have to stop dealing with those

people that are contacting you and telling you

that your funds is with them, it is not in

anyway with them, they are only taking

advantage of you and they will dry you up until

you have nothing.

The only money I paid after I met diplomat

Williams Richard was just $198 USD. for the

paper works, take note of that.

Once again stop contacting those people, I will

advise you to contact Diplomat Williams

Richard, so that he can help you to Deliver

your fund instead of dealing with those liars

that will be turning you around asking for

different kind of money to complete your

transaction.

Thank You and Be Blessed.
MrS Anita Anderw.
