"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:
- "dear beloved," (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "million 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)
- "dormant account" (Banks mentioned in 419 scams are always fake (real banks don't communicate using mobile phones or free webmail addresses))
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.

Subject: Dear Beloved,

Dear Beloved,

Please accept my sincere apologies if my email does not meet your business
or personal ethics. I am Mrs. Rose Shumejda, I am 65 years old, a widow to
late Mr. John Shumejda who was the President of agricultural equipment
giant AGCO Corp, who perished on the 4th of January 2002 in a plane crash
in Birmingham. Please View the Website below:

After going through some files of my late husband, I discovered a Deposit
Certificate of ($5Million) (Five Million Dollars) with a Bank here in the
U.S.A. But due to my sickness, I have not been able to claim this fund from
the Bank, as I have been in the hospital in the U.S.A. and my sickness
continues getting worse. I am suffering from a protracted cancer of the
lungs which has affected my brain. From all indications my condition is
really deteriorating and my doctors have courageously advised me that I may
not live beyond the next eight months, this is because the cancer stage has
reached a critical stage.

The President Donald Trump said that some of the money held in dormant
accounts would be used to fund youth and community projects. I am
contacting you based on trust to present you to the bank as the Next of Kin
and Bonafide Inheritor to my Late Husband's fund, since I cannot claim this
fund myself now and I may not live beyond next eight months according to my
Doctors, but I have the faith in God that I will live more than the months
my Doctors said by God grace.

Presently, I'm with my notebook in the hospital where I have been
undergoing treatment in the U.S.A. Please! Please!! Your help is needed to
avoid this money being diverted to the British Government as an unclaimed
fund/dormant account. Imagine somebody who has no child, I have nobody
taking care of me here in the Hospital and the money I have now is limited.
Of which, that $5 Million is my only hope to continue my treatment here in
the Hospital, and hopefully by God grace I will survive. If you will be so
kind as to be of help, I will be very glad and only God will reward you for
that. Upon the successful claim/transfer of the fund in your account as the
next of Kin, 40% of the total fund will be taken as your own share, 40%
goes to the Orphanage homes, while the remaining 20% will be transferred to
my account here in the U.S.A. for my treatment. Please in your response,
send me the following information to enable me validate you as the legal
beneficiary of this funds :

(1). Full names:
(2). contact address:
(3). Phone:
(4). Cell phone:
(5). Age:
(6). Occupation
{7). Your country

Get back to me with this email:mrsrose_shumejda11@aol.com

Thanks, and God bless.

Mrs.Rose Shumejda
