"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:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- ",500,000" (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)
- "00,000.00" (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.

Subject: Compensation to you

Dear Friend.

Longest time and how are you doing? I hope you and your family are fine.

I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting the
us$17,500,000.00 transferred under the assistant of my new partner
from Singapore. Presently i am now in UAE with my own share for
investment projects.

meanwhile,i did not forget your efforts to assist me at that time in
getting the funds transferred, but only god knows why the transaction
did not work out between you and me.

Therefore, i decided to sign a bank check of US$600,000.00 in your
name for your compensation and i kept the bank check to the bank
manager in Access Bank, her name is Barbara Chester, her private
E-mail is (barbara.ches60@yahoo.com). so contact and tell her that i
sent you for a bank check of US$600,000.00 i kept in your name, Please
manage it, whenever i am less busy i will come to your country to
visit you and your family and for us to discuss some business.

Importantly, if you contact Access Bank manager (Barbara Chester) make
sure you quote this secret code 202 for her to identify you, if you
did not quote the secret code she will not attend to you, that is my
instruction to her, to avoid claim by unknown person.

My Regards to your family
Steve P.
