"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.
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: Your compensation payment of $250,000.00 USD is already approved by UN BODY

Attention Beneficiary,

This is to officially inform you that we have written to you before without getting respond from you and we believe that our previous mail did not get to you therefore we write you again. We are contacting you concerning the release of your compensation payment.

We are fully aware of your past experience in receiving your payment and that maybe the reason why you did not respond to our precious letter, but we promise you that such situation will never repeat again. I know you will be skeptical to reply our email based on what has happend to you, but my bible says what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul.

This message is for those names in our payment database file. The African Union Commission & United Nations have agreed to compensate all those names in our payment database file with the sum of $250,000.00 USD each.

This has been deliberated upon and is among our set of priorities in making the world a better place. You are advised to contact the United Bank For Africa with your complete data for processing / release of your compensation payment via online banking Transfer.

However, considering the economic crisis in africa, the United Nations Body and United Bank for African have scrutinized the circumstances surrounding bank to bank wire transfer oversea, this is to avoid much protocols and delay from the african union fund certification on foreign transmission of funds. I must tell you quite frankly that bank to bank wire protocols will cost you money to obtain approval from the african union for fund certification on foreign transmission of funds, certifying the irrevocable success of funds transfer especially from africa to oversea.

View the attach file for your clarification.

THANKS,
MRS. INGA-BRITT AHLENIUS
UNITED NATIONS FUND MONITORING OFFICER.
