"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:
- "tax clearance" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "consultation fee " (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "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)
- "i will advice you " (this email uses bad English)
- "barrister" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
- "tax clearance" (Tax offices mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. Even after you pay their fake tax demands you will still not receive the non-existent funds you have been promised. )
- "cheque " (Beware of any scheme that involves cashing checks or money orders and then wiring a portion of the funds somewhere - you'll be liable for the entire amount if the checks or money orders turn out to be fake, even after you have received and forwarded cash. If it's a lottery prize, remember that real lotteries do not pay large prizes by check. They wire the money directly to your bank account and you do not pay for that. Many scammers promise a large check only in order to then demand payment of courier fees for a fake courier service. )
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.
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.

Subject: You Need To Act Fast.

Good Day,

I am Mrs Bonnie Robinson Cannon, I am a US citizen, I will be 53 years Old come May. I reside here in Smith's Alabama. My Residential Address is as follows. 392 Lee Rd 379 Lot106 Smith's Alabama 36877 United States.

I am one of those who has been one way or the other a victim of scam through finding a way to get my compensation on Uk Online Lotto winning cheque some years ago but has since then fell into wrong hands. I had paid over $20,000 trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to give up because it has taken more than i could afford, luckily for me i came across Judith on my visit to Texas for a friend's daughter wedding and we got talking at the reception. We got talking and you know ladies and their talks, I told Judith about my ordeal and she gave me her contact which i contacted her and she told me to come forward with all my documents, and I was directed to meet the Attorney in charge of lotto winning and beneficiary funds, Barrister Magnus Scheiber, who is a member of the Uk Online Lotto winning cheque AWARD COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he explained everything to me.

He said those people that are contacting us through emails are fake imposters and will reap us off. He took me through the process which wasn't stressful in anyway. I
have received my Uk Online Lotto winning cheque of $500,000USD.(Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) Moreover, Barrister Magnus Scheiber, showed me the
full information's of those that are yet to receive their funds as regards Lottery, contracts, all forms of dealings etc. I saw your name as one of the beneficiary on the Uk Online Lotto winning cheque AWARD CERTIFICATE Including your email address, I don't know if your email is still active but i have decided to email you and tell you to stop dealing with those Imposters, if they have been contacting you or not but they are not with your funds and they have got nothing to offer you.

I will advice you to contact the attorney in charge of funds issuing to beneficiaries, Barrister Magnus Sheiber now so as for him to assist you to get
your fund transfer into your bank account.

You have to contact him direct on the information's below.

Name: Attorney Magnus Sheiber
Email: magnus.scheiber.flf@gmail.com
Office Address: 3445 N Causeway Blvd #210, Metairie, LA 70002, USA

You really have to contact him so as to get what rightfully belongs to you without having to run around. You can visit him or contact him via email as you have it above.

P.S: The only money i paid to the attorney was just $720 for NRTC (Non Residence Tax Clearance), He didn't ask me for consultation fee or anything. I did gave him a compensation after i have received my payment. He is indeed a good fellow and i will want you to take note and be very careful. I have been through so much in the process until i met Magnus Scheiber and i hope and pray you will never have to experience all have been through and if you are a victim already then all you need to do is stop communications with those people and contact Magnus Scheiber ASAP.

Thank You and God Blessed.
Mrs. Bonnie Robinson Cannon
