"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:
- "western union" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "money gram" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "million dollars" (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 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
Western Union money transfer is completely untraceable and therefore is *not* safe to use with anyone you do not know personally. It is the preferred method of online criminals to collect money from their victims.

Dear Owner,

My name is Tijjani Mohammed Abdullahi, the Director-General of (Budget). I was very very shock while going through some abandoned file after i assumed this office as the Director-General of Budget. It might interest you to know that no amount of money you have spent or plan to spend will give you access to your fund because it was diverted and looted long time ago by Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke in connection with other criminal element in the Federal Government. I am also pleased to infform you that warrant of arrest has been issued to have everyone behind this act apprehended.

You can also read on the link below on how much that has been recovered which your first $5Million Dollars is listed among others.

This culprits work along side with some corrupt officials and they keep extorting money from you with promises that you will receive your fund which never happened and would never happen. For this reason, after the just concluded meeting we agreed that enough is enough and it is time you stop listening to whatever anyone is telling you. You should have also asked yourself why you have not received anything after all the money you have spent and still spending?

I was also bittered and frustrated after our investigation with money gram and western union on the amount of money you have spent and other banking institutions which you have made transfers. If you keep dealing with this people, you will not only go bankrupt but also loose everything you have in your name and to avoid that from happening, we have sent the first batch of your fund through a well respected agent name John Johnson who is presently in United States and you are to contact him immediately through his direct contact number below: 1(786) 763-3265 and notify him about this message and send him address where to deliver your fund to you.

Don't be deceived anymore and start doing what is right.

Yours sincerely,
Tijjani Mohammed Abdullahi
Director-General of (Budget).
