"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:
- "demurrage " (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. )
- "the consignment" (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)
- "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)
- "consignment " (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)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.
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 My Dear ,

I am Mrs. Juliet G. Morgan, a 65 years old widow married to an American Businessman name Mr. Simon Morgan for 32year without a child.

Before his death, we were both leaving in Africa do to his line of business in Gold, Oli and Gas. Since his death, I decided not to re marry and when he was alive, he made a deposit of One Metallic Trunk Box that contains the sum of USD$2,800,000.00 (Two Million Eight Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) and a Gold in a private SECURITY COMPANY Abroad. Presently, this money is still with the Security company, where the management wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to claim the deposit or issue a letter of authorization to somebody I trust to claim it on my behalf because of my condition to avoid me start paying demurrage charges.

Presently, I’m unable to go and claim the consignment because of my health condition as I am undergoing treatment for my illness and lost my ability to talk and my doctor have told me that I have to rest to get my self back to live. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested wisely and at the end of every year, funds are distributed among charity organizations.

I want a reliable and honest person that will use this money to reach to the motherless and also less privileges, the sick that has nobody to take care of them, the poor, widows and to set up a Cancer research institute.

So If you can handle this project for me in claiming the funds from the Security Company Abroad, let me know as soon as passiable with your full details, and I shall give you the letter of authorization to enable you contact the security company Abroad to claim it. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated therein.

Please do all things possible to make my wish come through Email Me On: p.harryuk1@gmail.com if you love humanity.

Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Juliet G. Morgan
