"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:
- "million 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)
- ",000,000" (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)
- "confidentiality of this transaction" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
- "there is no risk involved" (almost true for the criminal trying to scam you - arrests of online criminals are rare)
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.

Greetings

I decided to communicate to you with my personal Email ID, for the sake
of confidentiality of this transaction.

Some time ago, there had been a deposit worth Sixty Million United
States Dollars Only (US$60,000,000.00) in cash for safe-keeping with
Crown Escort Security Company Ltd, by a Militant Fighter Belko Adama
Tamboura an Army top officer from Burkina Faso. He went for Peace
Keeping in Libya , Gambia, South Sudan etc. I do work at Crown Escort
Security as a clerk, so that is why I have access to this information.

And the fund deposit was made without any next of kin while this offers
us the opportunity of having the fund transferred to you as the sole
Beneficiary. Though, the fund was originally deposited by Belko Adama.
We have tried to locate or contact Mr. BELKO ADAMA TAMBOURA but with no
avail.

Mr. Tamboura told us that he is a revolutionary fighter. Now I have
solid information that he had been killed in the battle for liberating
Libya.

I know that if he do not show up or withdraw the fund within a short
time, the management of Crown Escort Security Company Ltd will surely
confiscate the fund and share it among them. That is the reason I am
contacting you so that my lawyer can process a change of ownership to
enable the fund transferred to your account rather than have the
Security Company management confiscate the fund.

This transaction is 100% real and there is no risk involved. It is my
desire to release the fund to you though we have to share the fund as
follows, 60% to us while 40% will go to you, and if you accept I will
send you some evidence for you to contact the security company.

I will be expecting your urgent and sincere response through my mail:
samuelomar691@gmail.com

Regards,
Samuel Omar
