"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:

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 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.

pozdrav tebi,
Moje ime je g. James Morgan, iz Toulousea, Francuska. Bolujem od raka
i doktor kaÅ¾e da imam joÅ¡ malo vremena za Å¾ivot. Posljednjih dvanaest
godina bavio sam se izvozom zlata, prije nego Å¡to sam se razbolio od
raka. Mnogo sam zaradio od prodaje zlata i pamuka, oÅ¾enio sam svoju
pokojnu Å¾enu nakon mnogo godina braka nismo imali svoje dijete. Jako
sam bolesna i prema rijeÄima lijeÄnika, neÄ‡u preÅ¾ivjeti bolest.
Najgore od svega je to Å¡to nemam Älanova obitelji ili djece koji bi
naslijedili svoje bogatstvo. Ovo pismo sada piÅ¡em uz pomoÄ‡ raÄunala
pored svog bolesniÄkog kreveta. Imam 2,5 milijuna ameriÄkih dolara
poloÅ¾enih u Financial House Overseas i voljan sam na uputu da vam kao
svom stranom povjereniku prenesem spomenuti fond. Podnijet Ä‡ete
zahtjev Financijskoj kuÄ‡i za potraÅ¾ivanje fonda, da vam puste fond,
ali Ä‡ete me uvjeravati da Ä‡ete uzeti 50% fonda, a 50% dati domovima za
nezbrinutu djecu u vaÅ¡oj zemlji za moju duÅ¡u da se odmorim nakon Å¡to
odem. U svojoj sljedeÄ‡oj e-poruci poslat Ä‡u vam kopiju potvrde o
pologu koja Ä‡e vam omoguÄ‡iti da se prijavite i s lakoÄ‡om primite
novac. Odgovorite mi odmah na moju privatnu adresu e-poÅ¡te na kojoj
mogu brzo pristupiti svojim e-mailovima (jamesmorganw70m@gmail.com) za
daljnje pojedinosti i upute jer sam u posljednjim vremenima svog
Å¾ivota zbog bolesti raka mnogih oÅ¡teÄ‡enja organa u svom tijelu. Nadamo
se da Ä‡emo dobiti vaÅ¡ odgovor Å¡to je prije moguÄ‡e.
Moji pozdrav,
Gospodin James Morgan
