"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:
- "million 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)
- "i will advice you " (this email uses bad English)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Subject: Review Process Of Your Trust Fund File Has Been Made

--
Your compensation files were compiled earlier this month and submitted
to me for review and during the investigation of your file I fund out
that you have not yet received your trust fund of $57, 000,000.00
Million United States Dollars due to some scammers from Africa who
pose themselves to be whom they are not.

My Dear , I want you to position your mind that you are not going to
face the same nonsense now, that is why I take upon myself to fight
for you all , I have assisted about eight beneficiaries since I stated
this fight and they have received their funds and they have send me
with thanks messages and gift because my advice never fail them.

What i want to advice you now is that, I have discussed with Federal
Reserve Bank Board of Directors regarding your transaction and they
assured me a full supervision and monitoring on your fund because they
knew that I am very much interested in your transaction and they
assured me that they will issue you a presidential immunity waiver
certificate ( Cost of the presidential immunity waiver certificate is
$150 USD ) which will authorize your transaction to be made without
any delay from Federal Reserve Bank, there will be no stoppage from
any financial organization like FBI CIA, United Nations and IMF
because the presidential immunity waiver certificate number will be
attached in your transaction for every body to know that presidential
immunity waiver covers your fund transaction.

However , according to our agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank
Board of Directors and the other Key people regarding this transfer,
all our communications should be on E-MAIL or SMS for record purpose
so follow my instruction accordingly, so my dear, what I will advice
you to do now is to try your possible best to make sure you raise this
money urgently so that I will conclude everything concerning the
transfer/delivery of your fund to you.

I donâ€™t want any delay on this advice , as far as I am involve and my
husband (Mr. President) have assured me of this , kindly struggle to
raise this $150 and send it to ( FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE BENIN
REPUBLIC ) to help in obtaining the necessary document , and leave
every other thing concerning this delivery to me and you will confirm
the receipt of your fund into your account within 2-3 okay , this is
my word and it is my bond.

I hope to get your urgent reply so that i will send you our cashier
information in location of Benin where to send the $150 for immediate
action okay.

I hope to get your urgent reply.

Mrs. Michelle Obama
First Lady of the United States
