"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:

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:
- "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)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Hello

I know this mail may come to you as a great surprise since we have never met before. Well, I am Suzanne Mubarak, the wife of deposed President of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak. I have this pending business deal which I would like to share with you but can I confide in you?.

After my family bank accounts, both local and international were frozen by the government of President Morsi with the help of Western banks, we were able to secretly move the sum of U.S$18M from one of the USA bank through my Charity Organization and deposited the cash in two consignment boxes, US$9Million each, as Family Treasure in a Private Security vault in New York..

However, I would like you to receive the fund in USA on behalf of my family for possible investment, preferably in real estate management or any other viable business of your choice that can bring good returns.

Be rest assured that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect both parties from any breach of international laws, hence the Security Firm has Expatriates with immunity to deliver diplomatic cargo across the globe without any problems.

My family have agreed to give out 40% of the total sum which I believe will be acceptable to you. If you are OK with this arrangement, please send your contact address so that I may arrange and send you MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU), which I would want you to study carefully and responds. If its acceptable by both parties, then I will introduce you to the Security firm for immediate action.

Await your prompt response.

Regards,
Madam Suzanne Mubarak
