"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:
- "dear beloved," (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "a security company " (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)
- "confidential business" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
- "is highly confidential" (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 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.

Subject: MY REQUEST!

From:Mrs. Nompumelelo Ntuli Zuma.
Email:nompumelelonzuma@mailbox.co.za

Dear Beloved,

Please accept my sincere apology for this spontaneous message. I am very much aware of the fact that this is not in any way the best approach I should have given to an unknown person for the establishment of any sort of business transaction and or investment. I was pushed into this because of an urgent pressing need coupled with the fact that I have no other option at hand.

However, with due respect, I oblige that you take your time to go through this message before deciding proceed with my request; which I am confident will be of a very great value to both of us and bring financial growth and stability.

I am Mrs. Nompumelelo Ntuli, one of the wives of the embattled South African ex-president, Jacob Zuma; who resigned on the 14th of Feb. 2018. I currently live in fear and consternation owing to the recent developments in the country. On Friday 07/04/2017, there was nationwide march and demonstrations calling for president Zumaâ€™s resignation. This I believe was triggered by the cabinet reshuffle and other party related issues. Many probes and investigations and vote of no confidence followed this, though he survived the first but the second forced him to resign.
I have a diverted fund sum of USD $ 47.8 million (Forty Seven Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in my possession, though my husband lodged in my name in a security company here in South Africa, but as a result of the problem between my husband and I; in which I was accused of being involved in a plot to poison him, I have decided to have this fund as mine because I donâ€™t know what tomorrow might bring. I need to transfer this fund out of the country as soon as possible. This is the backbone of my fears and sleepless nights. I need to do this before the current government starts their investigations. I managed to get your contact details online here in Johannesburg South Africa in my desperate search for a trustworthy person to assist me in this confidential business transaction.

This is my genuine and sincere request though I have come this low, I must seriously emphasize that this transaction is highly confidential and is to be kept as such. Therefore indicate your full interest on assurance of trust, so that we can actualize this great opportunity together and share the benefits by the grace of God. Kindly give me a call as soon as you receive this letter or reply through my private emails enclosed in this letter.
Thanks
Yours sincerely
Mrs. Nompumelelo Ntuli Zuma.
