"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:
- "inheritance funds" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "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)
- "barrister" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.
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.

Hello Dear,

in receiving Inheritance funds and Lottery funds from European
banks even from many lottery organization ,Atm card and
Compensation funds etc few month's ago and they refused to pay me
which i though i had been scammed due to the no avail, responds
from the Agent i have been working with, I had paid different
fees while in the United States trying to get my funds from those
banks, ATM CARD And Compensation and lottery organization but all
to no avail. Which is why i Mrs.Marina Williams decided to travel
to West Africa Nigeria for the claiming of my funds with all my
compensation documents, and I was directed by the IMF Director to
contact the reconciliatory Barrister Jerry Albert, who is also

A USA citizen and a member of the UNITED NATIONS & IMF
COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE currently working with IMF in the
WEST AFRICA NIGERIA and I contacted him and he explained
everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails
are fake. Barrister Jerry Albert personally directed me on how to
claim my Inheritance or Lottery payment.

Presently I have received my compensation payment of $20 million
dollars. Barrister Jerry Albert showed me the full information of
those that are yet to receive their Inheritance, Lottery payment
and I saw your email address as one of the beneficiaries who is
to receive the payment worth of $5 million dollars which is why I
decided to send you a mail for you to stop dealing with those
people claiming to be in charge of your funds, they are not with
your fund, they are only making money out of you.

I will personally advise you to contact Barrister Jerry Albert he
will assist you as he is a very religious man with the fear of
God.
