"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.

Subject: Re-Contact Him Now For The Transaction

Hello,

Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business
relationship with you; I know you would be surprised to read from
someone relatively unknown to you before now. I am Mr.Ghanem Ibrahim,
the South Sudan Fmr.Vice President R.Machar mandated me to transfer
all his assets in United Kingdom to a safe location, by the assistance
of a foreign partner who is efficient and can be trusted.

I have been given the full authority to negotiate with you on the
working terms, recently the safe consignment that contains the total
sum of $45M was moved from London Uk to Dubai UAE, but was stopped on
the 29/6/15 at the Dubai International Airport, we actually have to
abandon such parcel because it actually attracted lots of queries as
the assigned diplomat failed to implement the expected responsibilities.

But at the moment on the 30/03/16 we have successfully landed in
another safe consignment that contains the total sum of $25M through
(La Caixa Security Management and Delivery Firm-Madrid Spain)
presently the parcel is in Madrid Spain and requires an urgent pick-up
from the La Caixa Security Management and Delivery Firm-Spain. I will
like us to discuss this proposal more extensively, so long as you can
demonstrate that you have the capacity to handle such representation
in Madrid. I will give you more details about this deal upon reading
from your acceptance message. I can be reached on phone here, but will
also appreciate if you can keep the transaction and mine number
discrete for now, until when I read from you.

Regards
Mr.Ghanem Ibrahim
