"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:
- "activation fee" (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. )
- "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. )
- "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 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.
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.

This is to bring to

impossibility of

through the Western

Union network, we have

credited
your total of

Number

and I have paid the

re-activation fee and

the
delivery of the ATM

Card to you,I paid it

because the ATM Card

worth
of $5,600,000.00 which

I have registered its

delivery yesterday has
less than Seven days

to expire in the

custody of the FEDEX

COURIER
EXPRESS SERVICES and

when it expires, the

money will go into

account.

With that we decided

to help you pay off

the money so that the

ATM
Card will not expire,

because I trust that

ATM

must pay me back my

money and even

compensate me
for helping you.

@outlook.com) With

your physical

delivery to be made so

that they can deliver
your ATM Card to your

designated address

without any delay.

Like I stated earlier,

the crediting re-

activation,delivery

and the
company registration

charges has been paid

by me, but we did not

pay
their official keeping

fees since they

refused,they refused

and the
reason is that they do

not know when you are

going to contact them

and
the demur- rage might

have increased by

then, They told me

that their
keeping fees is $97

per day only,and I

deposited it yesterday

September
13th, 2018.
