"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:
- ",000,000" (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)
- "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)
- "top secret" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
- "there is no risk involved" (almost true for the criminal trying to scam you - arrests of online criminals are rare)
- "aazar_ali_khwaja@outlook.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
- "aazar_ali_khwaja@outlook.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)

Hello ,

I decided to write you this message. I have been in search of someone who c=
an cooperate with me,so when I saw your email, I was pushed to contact you =
and see how best we can assist each other. I am Mr.Aazar Ali Khwaja, a Bank=
Officer here in U.A.E. I believe it is the wish of God for me to come acro=
ss you now. I am having an important business discussion I wish to share wi=
th you which I believe will interest you, because it is in connection with =
your country and you are going to benefit from it.One late Mr PHILLIP a cit=
izen of your country had a fixed deposit with my bank in 2010 for 112 calen=
dar months, valued at US$13,000,000.00 (Thirteen Million United State Dolla=
rs) the due date for this deposit contract was last 22nd of August 2016. Sa=
dly PHILLIP was among the death victims in the May 27 2006 Earthquake disas=
ter in Java, Indonesia that killed over 5,000 people. He was in Indonesia o=
n a business trip and that was how he met his end. My bank management is ye=
t to know about his death, I knew about it because he was my friend and I a=
m his account officer. PHILLIP did not mention any Next of Kin/ Heir when t=
he account was opened, and he was not married and no children. Last week my=
Bank Management requested that PHILLIP should give instructions on what to=
do about his funds, if to renew the contract. I know this will happen and =
that is why I have been looking for a means to handle the situation, becaus=
e if my Bank Directors happens to know that PHILLIP is dead and do not have=
any Heir, they will take the funds for their personal use, so I don't want=
such to happen. That was why when I saw you I was happy and I am now seeki=
ng your co-operation to present you as Next of Kin/ Heir to the account, si=
nce you are from the same country with him and my bank head quarters will r=
elease the account to you. There is no risk involved; the transaction will =
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any b=
reach of law. It is better that we claim the money, than allowing the Bank =
Directors to take it, they are rich already.So I am suggesting we share the=
funds equal, 40/60% to both parties, my share will assist me to start my o=
wn company which has been my dream. Let me know your mind on this and pleas=
e do treat this information as top secret. We shall go over the details onc=
