"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:
- "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)
- "mrs_susandansuki01@qq.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
- "mrs_susandansuki01@qq.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

Dear in Christ,

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs Susan Dansuki, a widow to Late Dr. Babatunde Dansuki, I am 52 years old,and a born again Christian convert,suffering from long time cancer of the breast.From all indications, my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not live more than four months,because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage.

My late husband was very wealthy and after his death,I inherited all his business and wealth because we have no child. My personal physician told me that I may not live for more than four months and I am so scared about this.So, I now decided to divide part of this wealth, by contributing to the development of evangelism and charity in Africa, America, Europe and Asian Countries. I am willing to donate the sum of (USD$13,700,000.00 ) to your Orphanage and Ministry for the development of evangelism,also as aids for the less privileged around you.

Please note that, this fund is deposited in my late husband bank account,therefore, my lawyer will file an immediate application for the transfer of the money in the name of your ministry. Do not reply me if you have the intention of using this fund for personal purpose other than enhancement of evangelism.Finally, I want you to be praying for me as regards my entire life and my health.

May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you.I await your urgent reply on my private email address.( mrs_susandansuki01@qq.com )

Yours in Christ
Mrs.Susan Dansuki.
