"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.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
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.

DespuÃ©s de mucha consideraciÃ³n sobre este asunto, he decidido ponerme en contacto con usted, me llamo Herbert Leonard, soy director gerente del banco BCEAO, estoy solicitando su consentimiento para presentarlo como pariente mÃ¡s cercano a un cliente fallecido de nuestro banco que falleciÃ³ aÃ±os atrÃ¡s sin ningÃºn pariente mÃ¡s cercano y si se hace notar con urgencia el banco confiscarÃ¡ este depÃ³sito y lo devolverÃ¡ al Gobierno de Benin.

TambiÃ©n tenga en cuenta que el depÃ³sito difunto tiene un beneficiario abierto y cualquier extranjero puede reclamar sobre el fondo independientemente de su tribu, nombres y religiÃ³n, siempre que tenga la informaciÃ³n secreta en el documento de archivo de seguridad del depÃ³sito fallecido que le darÃ© a peticiÃ³n por las autoridades de mi banco.
Â
Solo lo estoy contactando como extranjero porque estos fondos no pueden aprobarse aquÃ en un banco local, pero solo pueden aprobarse en cualquier cuenta bancaria extranjera porque el dinero estÃ¡ en dÃ³lares estadounidenses y el ex propietario de la cuenta Late Mr. Fernando R. Olmos, tambiÃ©n es de tu regiÃ³n. Mi objetivo es encontrar una persona honesta y confiable a quien pueda confiar estos fondos y que actuarÃ¡ como fideicomisario a la espera de mi llegada a su paÃs, ya que mi perÃodo de jubilaciÃ³n estÃ¡ cerca.
Â
Se le darÃ¡n mÃ¡s detalles tan pronto como responda en mi correo electrÃ³nico privado ( herbert_leonard01@hotmail.com
)
Â
Saludos
Â
Herbert Leonard.
