"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:
- "demurrage " (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "security keeping fee" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "hundred thousand united states 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)
- ",500,000" (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)
- "00,000.00" (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)
- "foreign remittance department" (Banks mentioned in 419 scams are always fake (real banks don't communicate using mobile phones or free webmail addresses))
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: CONTACT BANK FOR YOUR FUND TRANSFER

Hello dear,

I have been waiting for you to contact me for your confirm-able Bank Draft of One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (1,500,000.00 USD) but I did not hear from you for couple of weeks now, then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft was getting to expire. But was told that before the Draft will get to your hand, it will expire. So I told him to convert the Funds to cash payment and so it can be transferred to your account to avoid you loosing these funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for 8 Months Course and I will not come till after 8months.

What you have to do now is to contact RESERVE BANK OF INDIA as soon as possible to know when they will transfer the Fund to you because of the expiring date. For your information, the only money you will send to SECURITY KEEPING FEE of 14,900 INR ($199.00 USD) and then forward to them your bank details where the Fund can be transferred. Remember the amount is One Hundred and Fifty Five US Dollars ($199.00 USD) only being Security Keeping Fee of the Bank so far. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage because the Fund was kept and saved in a security vault in the Bank.

You have to contact RESERVE BANK OF INDIA now for the transfer of your Fund(your money) with this information stated bellow;

Bank's Name: RESERVE BANK OF INDIA
Contact Person is Irene Kumar.
Foreign Remittance Department/Fund Transfer
Email Address: rbionline3@india.com

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Name, address and direct mobile phone number to them, to avoid any mistake. Endeavor to indicate this CODE (CD0081) which will prove that you are the right beneficiary of the Fund deposited in their Bank.

Contact them immediately with their direct email address (rbionline3@india.com)

Yours Faithfully,
Sofia Hakimian.
