"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:
- "western union" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "money-gram" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "the 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)
- "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)
- "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)
- "you are advise to" (this email uses bad English)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
Western Union money transfer is completely untraceable and therefore is *not* safe to use with anyone you do not know personally. It is the preferred method of online criminals to collect money from their victims.
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.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

ATTN: FROM INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF)

This notification is from the International Monetary Funds. My name is
WILLIAMS KAYLA ALESE. I am the Director of the International Monetary
Fund (IMF). I am writing on behalf of (IMF) just to let you know that
the formal arrangement to get you your funds worth US$10.5 million was
not cleared because of difficulties with authorities. Your Funds
delivery arrangement would not be allowed by any of such companies
mentioned below (Western Union Money Transfer, Money-Gram Money
Transfer or Courier Delivery Company). The International Monetary Fund
and Lawyer's Chamber have ruled-out those companies because of their
incompetence and illegibility to people after collecting fees from
them. The arrangements with such companies have failed due to
difficulties with authorities on getting you the consignment through
any of such three means stated earlier. Please, kindly stop any
cooperation or conversation with them to avoid being scammed as they
will not send you anything in return. They are not any more in-charge
of your consignment box because your funds are not any more in their
control. Please for your own good, quit contact with any western
union/Money-Gram/Diplomatic/Courier agent(s) or offices that might
claim to be in possession of your long awaited overdue funds.

We have booked the payment assignment with the STANDARD BANK OF AMERICA
here to start depositing the funds on your account. Due to the large
amount, the International Monetary Funds & Lawyer's Chamber have
arranged to pay you the total funds with assignment of STANDARD BANK
here whom will work it out together with WORLD BANK GROUP to
ensure that you have the total funds on your account by receiving
US$100,000.00 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars) on each payment. As of
now, you are not certified to have the total funds into your account
because of the large amount, hence, you are going to be receiving
US$100,000.00 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars) on each transfer. I would
like it to be sent to your bank account in amounts of US$100,000.00
(One Hundred Thousand Dollars) in each deposit as it will help to
avoid all forms of difficulties with the authorities. We have now made
contact with the STANDARD BANK OF AMERICA and they told us that the
payment will start as soon as possible after renewing the payment file
of your funds. The cost to renew your payment file is only $100 after
that we shall wire the first $100,000.00 to your account immediately.

Meanwhile, the $100 is the only cost you will bear to renew the
payment file to enable us to have the full authority and start wiring
the funds to your account . Each transfer will clear into your account
in 48 hours. Remember that you will receive US$100,000.00 (One
Hundred Thousand Dollars) daily until you are paid in full, so try and
send the $100 once you get this email. The first payment you will
received is US$100,000.00 after pay the $100 today,
