"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:
- "consignment " (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)
- "the diplomat " ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "courier company" (Courier companies mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. They will have you send money to them, but won't deliver anything. )
- "cheque " (Beware of any scheme that involves cashing checks or money orders and then wiring a portion of the funds somewhere - you'll be liable for the entire amount if the checks or money orders turn out to be fake, even after you have received and forwarded cash. If it's a lottery prize, remember that real lotteries do not pay large prizes by check. They wire the money directly to your bank account and you do not pay for that. Many scammers promise a large check only in order to then demand payment of courier fees for a fake courier service. )

Dear Good Friend,

Good day, How are you today? I am writing to inform you that I have Paid
the fee for the delivering charge of your Package. And I went to the Bank
to confirm if the Cheque has expired or is getting near to expire and Mr.
Frank Ben of Chelsea State Bank told me that before the cheque will get to
your hand that it will expire.

So I told him to convert the $7,450,000.00 USD to ATM Card payment to
avoid losing this funds. However, all the necessary arrangement of
delivering the $7,450,000.00 USD in ATM Card was made with Seaway Courier
Company, Mr. Stephen J. Saule of Chelsea State Bank has to package the sum
of $7,450,000.00 in an ATM Card. Then he also agreed to help me to
register the ATM Card with Seaway Courier Company. In fact I thank God
very much for all the movement I made, everything goes normally.

As for our agreement with the Seaway Courier Company they promised that
your consignment will leave this Country today, But the Director of the
Seaway Courier Company said that they need your contact information to
enable them to meet up with you immediately when the Diplomat Agent
arrives in your State.

Please write a letter of application to the given address below.

ATTN: Mr. John Williams
EMAIL:( seawaycourierservice@gmail.com )
+ 1 757 387 3627

immediately when they arrive in your country with your Package. This is
what they need from you.

1.YOUR FULL NAME

5.A COPY OF YOUR PICTURE

Please make sure you send this needed info’s to the Director general of
Seaway Courier Company Mr. John Williams with the address given to you.

Note: The Seaway Courier Company doesn't know the contents of the Parcel.
I registered it as a plat disk. They don't know the contents of the ATM
CARD. This is to avoid them delaying the Package. don't let them know that
there is an atm card that is in that parcel and also be aware that you
will pay them for an insurance coverage charge before they can proceed for
the delivery.

Your`s in service,
Chelsea State Bank,
Mr. Stephen J. Saule.
