"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:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "the 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)
- "trunk box" (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)
- "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)
- "trunk boxes" (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)
- "hundred thousand united states 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)
- "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)
- "your urgent reply" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
This email message is a next of kin scam.
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.

Dear Friend,I decided to communicate you on this important opportunity. My name is Mr.Mohammed abdullah. I am the Chief Security Operation Officer, New Bether Finance And Security Company Limited, Asamah Road Tema-Ghana. I am a Ghanaian married with three kids.

Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarded address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered that Mr. Hussein Ibrahim from Iraq, his wife and two children and wife's parents has died with his family in a bomb blast in Iraq. My investigation proved that he died with his supposed next- of- kin in the bomb blast.
The trunk box containing total sum of US$10,400,000.00 is still in our company and the demur rage is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one has ever come to claim the consignment. He gave me all the documents of deposit of the consignment to keep for him, but I can not claim it by myself,Consequently I want to present you to stand in as the business partner to the late Mr.Hussein Ibrahim. I shall give you all the documents of deposit of the consignment in our company.
If you agree to handle this business, I will give you all the detailed information on how we are going to succeed in this business.We shall discuss the sharing ratio when I hear from youI guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law as The company does not know that i have those documents and I will use my position as the chief security OPERATIONS' officer to secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction.
Note the company does not know that the box contain money it was deposited as family treasure valued at US$10.4 Million.
I want you to handle everything for me. I have the trust in you and I know that you will not disappoint me, I don't need to know you for many years to trust you. If you have an idea of what should be done to bring the money out of Africa, please tell me I need your advice seriously.
