"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 fake company names, fake addresses, non-existent institutions/documents or other details have appeared in scams before:
- "diplomatic immunity"
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "clearance certificate" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "western union" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS!

This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
Western Union money transfer is completely untraceable and therefore is *not* safe to use with anyone you do not know personally. It is the preferred method of online criminals to collect money from their victims.

the delivery of your package will take place today because it has given me a lot of stress while I was told that it will take me only 2 days. The way Your HOME LAND

PORT SECURITIES inspects consignment shipped out of French Country is not well pleased. I am having a little problem here with HOMELAND SECURITY, intercepting the

consignment with regards to the DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY CLEARANCE PAPER which is delaying my coming to the above address you supplied to make the delivery to you. They

persisted I must obtain the Diplomatic Immunity Clearance Paper before I will be allow to connect my flight to your city,

the Airport authority demanded for all the legal back up to prove to them that the fund is no way related with drug nor fraud money I presented the Clearance

certificate, Yellow Tag and my American Gate Passing certificate and they are very much pleased with the papers I presented, they scanned the boxes and found out it

worth's of 20.5 million dollars, also the fund is 100 % spend able and accepted by any bank in the whole world. I have 1 more vital paper with me, but I can only

present you the hard copy when I reach your house as that it is the diplomatic rules, such as authorization to deliver, but they refused to past me out, asking for

DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY CLEARANCE PAPER after finding out the content of your consignment box. I asked the man in charge Mr. Anderson Dave the reason of all this delay

because the entire necessary documents is complete and this package has been on transits from PARIS FRANCE and the authority over there did not demand for such

certificate and he did not detailed the reasonable answer of the stopped, but keep on telling me that it's illegal to enter the country with the UN open Package

without the DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY CLEARANCE PAPER otherwise they will inspect the consignment since is sending from individual to individual. I don't have any means to

contact you when I arrived this airport and my only means to communicate with you orally, is phone and email so please here is my direct line 1(609)521-2831 to connect
