"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.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Good Morning, Attn MY DEAR NEWS

We wish to congratulate and inform you that after thorough review of
all unclaimed Contract, Inheritance, Lottery funds, etc in conjunction
with the World Bank and the United Nations auditors report, your
payment file was forwarded to our office for review and immediate
payment of your long delayed funds starting with a first installment
transfer of $980,520.00 USD to your bank account.

The Audit report shows that you have been going through hard times by
paying a lot of money to dubious officials for the release of your
funds. We therefore advice that you stop further communication with
any correspondence outside this office because you do not have to pay
any money or fee to receive your funds.

This first installment transfer of $980,520.00 USD will be credited
to your submitted bank account within 3 working days and telex
confirmation forwarded to you and your bankers for confirmation.

For further details and the immediate transfer of the $980,520.00 USD
to your bank account, kindly send your telephone number

Once again Congratulations.

Yours faithfully,

DR BLESSING EMMANUEL
