"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:
- ",000,000" (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)
- "souliathyoussef@yeah.net" (this email address has been used in a known scam)

Hello

Excuse me a lot for my English, I am more correct in French, I beg you
to accept my English as well

I am souliath youssef, I am of Lebanese origin, divorced from the
American businessman John ROCK for reasons of infertility.

I was three director of the National Oil Corporation (NOC), it is the
national oil company of Libya. I am an only daughter, heir to my family.

I contacted you to make you responsible for managing a fortune. This
will seem a little suspicious especially since you do not know me and I
do not know you either.

I am suffering from terminal cancer, according to the medical diagnosis.
According to what the doctor justified me, I have this disease for more
than 4 years.

I plan to donate all my possessions. I managed certain transactions
thanks to the help of the former Minister of the Republic of Benin, Mr.
ADA FOKI, in my account in the insurance sector of United Bank for
Africa Benin.

Throughout my career at NOC, my down payment to United Bank for Africa
BENIN is worth â‚¬ 10,000,000 (ten million euros).

This sum that I would like to put at your disposal to allow you to
realize different associations: help centers, orphanages, churches,
associations of homeless homeless humanitarian organizations.

Please reply to this email address: souliathyoussef@yeah.net
Thank you, in reaching you read
