"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:
- "utmost confidentiality" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
- "economic and financial crimes commission" (This name is often mentioned in money recovery scams (re-scam): the real EFCC does not contact victims to offer to get their money back because that is near impossible. )
- "power of attorney" (with your bank details and a power of attorney form criminals sometimes empty bank accounts)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.

Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL

Attention:Sir

I write to involve you strictly for a business seeking for utmost confidentiality,i require your mutual partnership to close a business that will benefit you,if you give me your consent.

This is sweet and sympathetic but i have no other options than to play along with the present circumstances at my disposal.The former minister of Petroleum was my woman friend and she confided in me about her secret looted funds to a private security companies in europe,Asia and another one in USA where nobody can trace them. The broker that represents the Minister in all her secret deals while she was in Government is also good friend of mine which makes the whole deal very perfect and if you are ready you can meet him face to face for discussion in any of the nominated places.The security company officers are ready to work with anybody i present to claim part of the deposited funds in any of the security companies at least $50m and above.

Mrs Diezani Allison Madueke, served as Minister of Petroleum from November 2011 to May 2015 under the former president of Nigeria,Dr Goodluck Jonathan and she was declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission[EFCC]before she escaped to London where she is now bedridden as a result of severe cancer disease that will engulf her life any moment from now.You can google the name as a proof.

A lawyer has already been detailed in other to prepare a power of attorney to enable the security company release the money in your name/making it possible for a delivery agent to deliver the fund to you or rather come in person to lay claim from the company. 45% for you and 55% for me and the broker, do not be greedy because i will settle the security company officials, be rest assured of a smooth business and i can assure you that we can close this opportunity in less than 14 working days.More details will be given to you as soon as i hear from you.

awaiting your affirmative reply.

Thiele Jeffry
