"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:
- "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)
- "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)
- "your urgent reply" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
- "my names are " (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

.........Hello.......
please can you contact me with this address:( sandra.larry014@gmail.com ).....
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND GET BACK TO ME

how are you doing?, I hope your fine, I am sorry to encroach into your privacy in this manner, I got you from a business directory on the internet here in Afghanistan
which was still valid , I know you don't know me but I meant no harm sending this to you, Just that I don't have anyone out there to contact on this regards. My names
are Sandra Larry fox, A medical doctor from the south eastern state of the united state (Kentucky) based in Kabul Afghanistan. I and some other high ranking officers
made some deal on OIL BUSINESS over here.

The deal is worth 132 Million U.S Dollars and after succeeded on the deal,we shared the money, I later realized 4.2 Million U.S Dollars which is my personal share of
the deal, due to my status as a medical doctor, I cannot be able to move this huge funds to my account in United States due to the current situation of things there. I
packed the money in a briefcase, so with the help of a German contact working with the UN here (his office enjoys some immunity) I was able to get the briefcase out to
a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. He does not know the real contents of the package, as I have deposited the consignment as a family treasure/medical
equipment with a security company.

please I want you to stand as my beneficiary and receive the fund and keep it safe until am able to meet you. This was the reason why I contacted you as I am in an
urgent need to move this out from here because they are planning to move some troop out of Afghanistan to Iraq and I am among the troop that will be moving out
soonest. Now I am left with no option than to move this briefcase to a safe place without any delay.

Despite the fact that we don't know each other or met before, I believe and I believe you will assist me in receiving this cash and to invest in a good profitable
venture, I will give you 20% of the fund for your assistance after you have receive it in your country. Kindly reply back to me if you are willing to help me so that I
can send you the information where the money is been deposited, your urgent reply is needed...

Regards,
Sandra Larry...
