"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:
- "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)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.
- +447742737540
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: Hello dear

I am really happy to write you this letter, which I believe will be a
surprise to you as we have never met before.
I deeply apologize if I have disturbed your privacy in any way. Please
forgive my unusual communication with you.
My name is Yunus Munira, I come from Malaysia but my husband is from
America and we live in England. I lost my husband in a car accident on May
7, 2019. Meanwhile I had been struggling with cancer for a long time and
the doctor said the current stage was out of control. Okay, and I have a
few months to live.

Before my husband passed away, he signed a $ 8.6 million contract with the
British government, but death took him away before the money was deposited
into my bank account, husband was a person before I died. He also
encouraged me to help the poor. Because we got married, we could not have
children. Because of my health condition, I sent 4 million USD to my
hometown (Malaysia) and 600,000 USD to the hospital to buy medicine. I am
looking for someone who can help me do this project in your country who can
take this project very seriously, I want to do it myself, but my current
situation does not allow me because I am difficult can stand alone without
Anchorage or the assistance of a doctor or nurse that's the main reason
while I am in contact with you.

I will send the remaining 4 million dollars to you so that you can help me
share with the poor and widowed people in your country with the advice of
my late husband because we do not have children to inherit. I would love to
talk to you over the phone, but the problem is the doctor instructed me not
to do it and not to receive the call and he took my phone and I couldn't
speak because it was too painful . Please try to answer me immediately for
more information. God will bless you and your family.
