"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)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.
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.

Musa Sadiq , who later died in a motorcycle accident. When my late
husband was alive he deposited in a bank the sum of US $ 4,700,000.00
(four million and hundreds of thousands of dollars). Currently, this
money is still in the bank.
My doctor told me that I will die in the next 3 months due to the cancer
Problem. I need a person and a very honest and feared organization that
can use these funds for God's work. My late husband said that this fund
should be used for charitable purposes such as building a school,
orphanages, hospitals etc.
I made this decision because I have no son inheriting this money. I want
God to be merciful to me and accept my soul. With God all things are
possible. Please if I could use these money for God's work I kindly
reply.I want you to send me your Information as below your full names
