"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.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
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.

Subject: A good offer

I have a business brief which might interest you on the instruction of
my principal in Moscow whose business interest spans crude oil
refining, mining, construction, real estate and tourism.

Over the past years the policies of the Kremlin has not been favorable
towards his business and more importantly towards his person who seem to
have a different political view from that of the Kremlin.

Without boring you with politics of Russia, I will go straight to the
point to ask for your cooperation to discreetly re-profile fund worth
twenty three million euro from its present location via a bank to a
new investment location.

You will be paid four percent for your 'management consultancy fees', if we
are able to reach terms.

If you are interested, please write back to me at ggnasko3@gmail.com
and provide your telephone number for further details.

Thank you,

Mr. Nasko Gelimachev.
