"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.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "million pounds" (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 "dying widow" scam.
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.

Greetings,In confidence,

I want you to solicit help in fulfilling my wish to help charity poor needy in your country, I am Mrs Theresa Hudson from Kingston upon Hull United Kingdom. I am married to Dr. Robert Hudson the former president of liberty mining company inc in Charnwood United Kingdom before he died. We were married for sixteen years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of ?3 million Pounds in a bank .Presently, this money is still in the bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the period of nine months due to cancer problem i have been facing. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund because i cannot do it alone by myself due to my current condition.

I want you to use this fund for orphanages, school and widows then you will take 20% percent of the ?3 million Pounds and use the remaining 80% percent for orphanages, school and widows. Because I understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth".I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and I don't want my husband's efforts to be invain. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way.

This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development,

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of My Attorney who will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you are the present beneficiary of this fund. any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.please email here via (MrsTheresaHudson@email.com)

Thanks.
Mrs Theresa Hudson.
