"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:
- "lome togo" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
This email message is a "New Partner from Paraguay" 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.
- joyfolly13@gmail.com (Gmail/GoogleMail; can be used from anywhere worldwide)

Subject: Compensation for your past effort,

Dear,

I trust that this my message will meet you well after quite a very
long time. I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting the
fund transferred under the co-operation of a new partner from
Paraguay. I am presently in Paraguay for investments projects with my
new partner.

Meanwhile, I didn't forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me
in transferring the fund despite we couldn't succeed. I am sorry for
what happened all this while because it got to a time when there was
so much confusion that made you to become very doubtful about this
transaction, but I thank God today, it is all over and the fund was
successfully transferred.

Now contact my secretary in Lome Togo,her name is Mrs. Grace Folly, on
(joyfolly13@gmail.com) ask her to send you the total of $500.000.00
which I kept for your compensation for all the past efforts and
attempts to assist me in this matter. I appreciated your efforts at
that time very much. So feel free and get in touch with my secretary
and instruct her where to send the amount to you.

Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share
the joy after all the sufferances at that time. In the moment, I'm
very busy here because of the investment projects which my new partner
and I are having at hand,finally, remember that I had forwarded
instruction to the secretary on your behalf to receive that money, so
feel free to get in touch with her,she will send the amount to you
without any delay.

Regards,
Mr. Rogers Kalusha.
