"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.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "dear beloved," (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "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)
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.

DOING THE WILL OF GOD.

Dear Beloved,

I am Mrs.Doris Rockstroh,a widow to late Jean Rockstroh.I am 56 years
old, i am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer
of the lung, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating
and it is quite obvious that i would only live for a short
period.According to my doctors, this is because the cancer stage has
gotten to a very bad stage. My late husband was killed during the U.S.
Raid against terrorism in Afghanistan, and during the period of our
marriage we couldn't produce any child.

My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, i inherited all
his business and wealth. The doctors has advised me that i would only
live for a short period, so i now decided to divide the part of this
wealth, to contribute to the development of the churches all over the
world and the less privileged,I selected you after visiting the
website and i prayed over it.

I am willing to donate the sum of $12,500.000.00 USD (Twelve
Million,Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) to the less
privileged.Please i want you to note that this fund is lying in a
Spanish Bank and upon my instruction, my attorney, who presently is in
Spain will file in an application for you for the transfer of the
money in your name.

Lastly, i honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used
for the said purpose, because i have come to find out that wealth
acquisition without Christ is vanity.

May the Grace of our Lord Jesus, the love of God and the sweet
fellowship of Holy Spirit be with you and your family.

Henceforth, further correspondence should strictly be directed to this
email ID for security reasons. Nevertheless forward the undermentioned
information to me so that my family Attorney will file in application
for the transfer.

(a) Your full Names:
(b) Your physical mailing address:
(c) Your direct telephone numbers:
(d) Your occupation.

I await urgent reply. via my direct email mrsdorisdd1@gmail.com

Yours in Christ.
Mrs.Doris Rockstroh.
