"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)
- "central bank of nigeria" (the name of a person or institution often appearing in 419 scams)
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.

Attention Beneficiary. DOMINIC JOHN CALLIPARI.

ATTENTION!!!

Based on the report I received from the correspondent banks in Nigeria and
West Africa like Benin Republic, Access Bank, First Bank, UBA Bank, Zenith
Bank and Fidelity Bank which were assigned to pay you . I was informed that
you did not part according to the instructions and rules governing this
organization because of your inability to believe in the reality of this
payment.in view of this I want to let you know that this said fund has
already been approved in your favor and can never be canceled.

However, I want to bring to your own understanding that After a long
deliberation this morning with the United nation compensation commission
(UNCC), we decided to consider the most appropriate way to ensure that your
funds get to you without any hitch or delay. The management considered the
ATM Card payment system as a procedure that will give you a lot of problems
withdrawing the funds from any ATM machine in your city. This is because of
the newly unfavorable financial regulations and policies guiding 3rd world
countries like Africa.the united nation compensation commission (UNCC) have
today withdraw your payment from Central Bank of Nigeria and has assign
Jordon Commercial Bank (JCB), to pay you this award winning inheritance
entitlement, Your details and Exchange Cash Coverage of the Remittance have
been sent to Jordan Commercial Bank (JCB), and they have complete the
necessary transfer procedures to credit this US$10 Million Dollars to your
Bank Account.

If you agree to receive this fund through this bank, get back to me now and
here is my contact email:organizationunitednations530@gmail.com so that I
will instruct them to proceed immediately.

We welcome you with a better understanding to move you forward.

Yours Faithfully.
