"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:
- "million us 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)
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.

Attention: Sir / Madam

I am Mrs. Mary Luth; I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside
here in Florida USA. My residential address is as follows, 7008 E
Hwy 326 Silver Springs Florida 34488
United States, am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I
am one of those that took part in the compensation in West Africa
(Nigeria/Ghana/Benin) many years ago and they refused to pay me,
I had paid over $ 85,000 while in the US, trying to get my
payment all to no avail. So I decided to travel to Washington
with all my compensation documents, and I was directed by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation Director to contact Frank
Biggers, who is a representative of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and a member of the Compensation Award Committee,
currently in Wahington and I contacted him and he explained
everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails
are fake.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my compensation
payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because
I have received my compensation funds
of $12.5 Million US Dollars, Moreover, Frank Biggers showed me
the full information of those that are yet to receive their
payments and I saw your email as one of the beneficiaries on the
list he showed me, that is why why why I decided to email you to
stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they
are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact
Frank Biggers. Kindly send your personal details to him to prove
your identification.

Full Name:
Home Address:
Phone Number:

Age:
Gender:
Country:
Driver's License/International Passport:

You have to contact him directly on this information below.
Compensation Award House
Name: Frank Biggers
Email: frankbiggers2@gmail.com
phone number: 651-317-8690

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are
contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is
not in anyway with them, they are only
taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have
nothing. The only money I paid after I met Frank Biggers was just
$650 USD for the paper works, take note of that.

Once again stop consulting those people, I will advise you to
contact Frank Biggers so that he can help you to deliver your
fund instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you
around asking for different kind of money to complete your
transaction.

Thank you and be blessed.
Mary Luth
