"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:
- "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)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.
- +2349038746013 (Nigeria, prepaid mobile phone)
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: Beneficiary,

I am Mr. Frost William; I am a US citizen, 66 years Old. I reside
here in Centreville Virginia U.S.A. My residential address is as
follows.14852 Rock Landing Court

Centreville Virginia 20121 United States and my email address is
(frost.william@yahoo.com) and my telephone number is +1(757)238-
5441 you can call me or send me a text

message.

I am one of those that fall victims to scammers in Africa two
years ago. I have lost over US$74,000 for the past years while
in the US. I was trying to get my payment

all to no avail. And they always stopped my funds with one reason
or the order. So I decided to travel with my Son to WASHINGTON
D.C with all documents, there the

(FBI) was amazed and contacted the Nigeria embassy in the US.
After some hours in that office, I was asked by the FBI officer
to come back the next week.

When I did the FBI officer gave me the contact of one Mrs. Maria
Farnandez who is a representative of the (FBI) and a member of
the compensation award committee,currently in Nigeria. And when I
contacted her she explained everything to me. She said whoever
is contacting us through emails are fake that I should fly down
to Nigeria to see things for myself which I did and she took me
to the paying bank for the claim of my compensation payment.

This was paid to me successfully. Right now I am the happiest man
on earth because I have finally received my compensation funds of
US$1,300,000.00.

Moreover, Mrs. Maria Farnandez showed me the full Information of
those that are yet to receive their compensation funds and this
was how I came across only your email

address and your full name.

The only Money I paid after I meet with Mrs. Maria Farnandez was
just $550.00 for the ownership paper works. So I am advising you
to contact Mrs. Maria Farnandez

through her email address(m_farnandez@yahoo.com) for your own
money including the money you lost or you can as well call her
on her direct telephone number (+234-

9038746013) please take it very serious.

Please contact her and send your telephone number and your
residential address to her so that she can release your own money
to you.

Thank you & God bless you.

Mr. Frost William.
14852 Rock Landing Court, Centreville
Virginia 20121 United States
