"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:
- ",500,000" (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)
- "abidjan" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

PobreÅ¾ia Slonoviny (Cote Ivoire), otec bol otrÃ¡venÃ½ jeho obchodnÃ½mi

tisÃc americkÃ½ch Dorellov, zanechanÃ½ch vo fixnom / jedna z medzinÃ¡rodnÃ½ch bÃ¡nk tu v Abidjane, pouÅ¾il moje meno ako svoju jedinÃº dcÃ©ru pre ÄalÅ¡ieho Kina pri ukladanÃ fondu. MÃ´j neskorÃ½ otec mi nabÃ¡dal, aby som hÄ¾adal zahraniÄnÃ©ho partnera v
krajine podÄ¾a mÃ´jho vÃ½beru, kde budem prevÃ¡dzaÅ¥ tieto peniaze a vyuÅ¾ÃvaÅ¥ ich na investiÄnÃ© ÃºÄely, ako je sprÃ¡va nehnuteÄ¾nostÃ alebo riadenie
hotelov.

Ctihodne hÄ¾adÃ¡m vaÅ¡u pomoc nasledujÃºcimi spÃ´sobmi: (1) poskytnÃºÅ¥ bankovÃ½ ÃºÄet,

opatrovnÃk, (3) aby som sa dohodol, aby som priÅ¡iel vaÅ¡ej krajine, aby som pokraÄoval vo vzdelÃ¡vanÃ.

PoznÃ¡mka: Som ochotnÃ½ VÃ¡m ponÃºknuÅ¥ 20% z celkovej sumy ako nÃ¡hradu za vaÅ¡e Ãºsilie / vstup po ÃºspeÅ¡nom prevode tohto fondu na vÃ¡Å¡ nominovanÃ½ bankovÃ½ ÃºÄet. PredvÃdaÅ¥ poÄutie od vÃ¡s soon.please
S Pozdravom,
