"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.
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: CAN I TRUST YOU

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs Annie B.
Williams, A widow to the Late Daniel Hale Williams Jr, I am 80 years
old, I am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer
of the Lungs. From all indications my condition is really
deteriorating and it's quite obvious that I won't live more long
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 when he traveled to Afghanistan to monitor an Hospital / a
Humanitarian Foundation (HHF) he was setting up for the benefit of the
Afghan masses. 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 businesses and wealth. My doctors have advised me
that I may not live for more than four months,so I now decided to
divide part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the
churches in Africa, America, Asia and Europe.

I selected you as God directed me and I prayed over it. I am willing
to donate the sum of US$2 Million,to you for the less
privileged,churches,orphanages and widows,Propagating the word of God
and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.I took this decision
upon myself because I don't have any child that will inherit this
money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my
husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. because I
have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity
upon vanity.

May the lord bless you, as you reach me, please to remind you, I don't
belong to a scam or any act of fraudulent on internet. I will give
more information to you as i await your response immediately. please
pray for my soul.

Send your above respond details to this e-mail address <
anniewilliams@citromail.hu >

Yours in Christ.
Mrs Annie B. Williams (JP).
