"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:
- "i will like you to " (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "trunk box" (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)
- "top secret" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
This email message is a next of kin scam.

I know that you will be very shocked and surprised seeing such kind of message that I want to share with you and i will like all that i will share with you to be between you and I only and no third party so that this deal will not be jeopardized.

During our Last month I supervised the warehouse and discovered a trunk box valued at £13.8 Million Great British Pounds and this trunk have been there for four(4) years as documented in my file and no one has came for the claim up till date. I investigated and found out it belongs to Late Mr. Guma A and he is Florida Multi-Millionaire who mysteriously vanished on his yacht.

With the research i got from the internet His wife, Jaime, and mother, Ellen have been fighting for more than two years to control of Aguiar's $100million fortune.

I am retiring soon,I will want us to work hand in hand like blood relation to claim this box from the company while I remain insider to direct you on what to do and the money will be shared equally, I will present you as the next of kin to the late man because he did not state any next of kin in the document.it is a process which will take time,energy,resource and we must undergo to actualize this deal.

All I need from you is trust and you promised me that you will not seat on this fund whenever it gets to your care and you will keep my share until I retire and come over for collection in your country and you will help me in investing some in a proper business that will yield income quick or In to Real Estate.

Regarding my position in the company I want you to make sure you keep this transaction TOP SECRET so that I will not have any problem with my company once I retire and for the safety of this business. Immediately If you are interest in this transaction I will make arrangement immediately so that we can map out plans.

I will like you to get back to me for more details.

Thanks for your Understanding.
Dr.P Beal
