"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:
- "million us 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)
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.

Attn: My Dear,

I am Mrs.Alice Smith, I am a US citizen, 54 years Old. I reside here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. My residential address is

as follows. 5825 Valley Forge Ave . Apt 303, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States, I am one of those that took part in the

Compensation in Africa many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $100,000 while in the US, trying to get my

payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel to WASHINGTON D.C with all my compensation documents, and I was directed by the ( F B I) Director to

contact Mr. Kelvin Wallace, who is a representative of the ( F B I ) and a member of the COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE,

currently in Europe, 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 Woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $15 Million Us Dollars Moreover, Mr. Kelvin Wallace showed me the full information

of those who are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name as one of the beneficiaries, and your email address, 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 Mr. Kelvin Wallace.

Kindly send your personal details to him to prove your identification.

Full Name:

Phone Number:

You have to contact him directly on this information below.

COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE

Name: Mr. Kelvin Wallace

Email:mrkelvinwallace@gmail.com

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund 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 Mr. Kelvin Wallave was just $400 for the legal paper works, take note of that.
Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Mr. Kelvin Wallace 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.
