"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:
- "dear sir/madam" (a standard Nigerian greeting phrase)
- "from the desk of" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "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)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Mr. Alberto Jemenes Rodriguez, Manager/ Director and Foreign Remittance with Banco Bank Plc. I am writing this letter to ask for your Assistance and co-operation to carry out this business/transaction.

In my department we discovered abandoned sum of US$25.5M (TWENTY FIVE MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers late Engineer and an oil merchant with Shell Petroleum Company Late Eng. John Creek (Junior) who died along with his entire family of a wife and two children in Air France (A330-203) flight Reg F-GZCP in 1 June 2010. Since we heard of his death, we have been expecting his Next of kin to come over and put claims for his money as the heir because we cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next of kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guide lines.

Unfortunately, neither his family member nor distant relative has applied to claim the said fund. Upon this discovery, I and others officials in my department have agreed to make business with you and release the Total amount to you. We decided to make this deal with you because nobody or person(s) have come for the claim of the fund and we want to avoid it from being returned to our Bank treasury as unclaimed fund/bad debt, because after a period of 9/10 years and no claim of the fund, it will returned into Bank treasury.

The terms of sharing can only be discuss if you indicate your willingness in assisting us by sending immediately the below stated information's for a formal application.

A. Your names in full.
B. Your contact address.
C. Your contact telephone number.
D. Your gender/Occupation
E. A copy of your valued ID.
F. Nominated Bank Account to receive the fund.

Anticipating hearing from you soon.

Yours Faithfully,

Mr. Alberto Jemenes Rodriguez
