"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:
- "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)
- "god fearing " (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
- "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

Greetings in the name of the Almighty GOD whom is the giver of every good thing. i know this letter will definitely come to you as a huge surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it carefully as the decision you make will go off a long way to determine the future and continued existence. I am Mrs. Berta Husni aging widow of 61 years old suffering from long time illness. I have some funds I inherited from my late husband, the sum of (6,700,000.00USd) and I needed a very honest and God fearing who i can withdraw this money to his care to then use the funds for Charity works. I wish to give you these trust funds in good faith before anything happens to me.

Presently, this money is still with the Bank. My Doctor told me recently, that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems that I have been suffering from,Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition with the Cancer. With this hard predicament that has befallen me, I have decided to donate this fund to YOU and i want you to use this gift which comes from my Late husbands effort to establish a charity home for the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husband hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures, or should i will the money to my pet which i do not know his whereabouts after my Late husband death, My late friendnamed Mrs. Leona Helmsley willed 12 Million US

I cannot do this because caring for fellow human beings is Godly act rather than caring for pet, This is among the reason why i took this bold decision so that i can inherit heaven. Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated Herein.
Hope to hear from you soon to enable me to process the transfer of the funds to you.

Remain Blessed,
Mrs. Berta Husni Lutfi
