"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:
- "receive a commission" (Beware of any scheme that involves depositing checks or money orders or receiving wire transfers in your bank account and then wiring a portion of the funds somewhere, for a percentage of 5-15% of the total. Such offers are *always* fraudulent and you will be liable for the entire amount when the checks, money orders or wire transfers turn out to be fraudulent. Any money already forwarded comes out of *your* pocket then. )
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.

Lieber Herr
Sehr geehrte Frau

Ich bin ein professioneller Bankier und bin in Kontakt mit privaten Investoren, die in Deutschland, Österreich, die Schweiz oder irgendwo in der Welt investieren wollen. Derzeit habe ich Investoren, die von 100.000 Euro auf 70 Millionen Euro investieren wollen, aber wir wollen mit ernsthaften Partnern arbeiten. Wenn Sie sehr interessante Projekte haben, in denen wir die Fonds investieren und eine jährliche Rendite von 3% pro Jahr erhalten können.
Wenn Sie ein Projekt haben, in das Sie investieren können, erhalten Sie eine Provision von 30%, um Ihr Projekt vorzubereiten und Sie werden die Balance 70% für das Projekt investieren. Wenn Sie diese 70% in Ihr Projekt investieren, zahlen Sie eine jährliche Rendite von 3% pro Jahr und während der 20-jährigen Partnerschaft.

Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns, wenn Sie Projekte haben, in die wir die Gelder investieren können, und wir diskutieren die Bedingungen einer gemeinsamen Partnerschaft. Ich werde Ihnen mitteilen, dass der Vertrag vorliegt und sobald Sie eine Antwort an uns senden, senden wir Ihnen den Vertrag zu.

Dear Sir,

I am a professional banker and I am in contact with private investors who want to invest in Germany, Austria, Switzerland or anywhere in the world. Currently I have investors who want to invest from 100,000 to 70 million euros, but we want to work with serious partners. If you have very interesting projects where we can invest the funds and get an annual return of 3% per year.
If you have a project to invest in, you will receive a commission of 30% to prepare your project and you will invest the 70% balance for the project. If you invest this 70% in your project, you pay an annual return of 3% per annum and during the 20-year partnership.

Please contact us if you have projects in which we can invest the funds and we discuss the terms of a partnership. I will inform you that the contract is in place and as soon as you send us an answer, we will send you the contract.
