"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:

The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "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)
- "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)
- "courier company" (Courier companies mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. They will have you send money to them, but won't deliver anything. )

- "tpdservice@outlook.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.

Hello My Dear,

How are you doing, I was shock that you have not communicate me with regards to your $1,200,000.00 USD credited into an ATM CARD by the WORLD BANK for you which was brought to my office on your behalf with the help of the United Bank For Africa(UBA) who credited your CARD and have been package and drop with a Courier company called Int'l Courier Delivery Services to be delivered to you. The delivery fee have been paid by me but the only fee remaining is the Security Keeping charges fee of $98.00 USD which you will be required to pay before the delivery will be made to you. I did this because I was unable to make the funds transfer to your bank account in your country and I am going out of Benin to Russia for a period of 4 months for an investment project.

However, you must send your address to them to avoid wrong delivery of your consignment funds to different address and when contacting the courier company, I advise you to quote the parcel and shipment code to them for onward delivery to your address. Therefore,forward the following information when contacting Int'l Courier Delivery Services: Your Name, Your Delivery Address, Your Phone Number and code below.

Contact Dr. Dohami Stanislas Romaric Thomas Pedro
Director Int'l Courier Delivery Services
C/65, Sikecodj, Cotonou, Republic of Benin
Tel: Tel: +229 68796302 Telfax: +229 30 22 025

E-mail: shipent.cotonou@icdservce.com

Shipment Code: TPEC/00977-667642
Parcel Number: 6971001-004

Once you receive parcel ATM CARD, you just go to any bank ATM Machine to activate it and start using your money. Remember never to disclose the contents of your package to them as ATM CARD for the safety of it to you.

Thanks,
Pastor Leo Jaka
