"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.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "huge amount of money" (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)
- "hundred thousand us 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)
- "top secret" (scammers urge victims to keep the transaction secret because they don't want anyone to point out to them that it is a scam)
This email message is a next of kin scam.

Subject: Asalamualaikum.

Greetings,
How are you and your lovely family doing i hope you are all in good health?
i have a business proposal in good faith hoping that i will rely on you in
this transaction that requires absolute confidentiality and of great
interest and benefit to our both families which i request your cooperation
in my desire to find a foreign partner who will assist me in relocation and
investment of a fixed deposit for 36 months, valued of ($19.3 Million)
Nineteen Million Three Hundred Thousand US Dollars at the bank where i work
and i was his account officer, in-which the maturity date for this deposit
contract was 27th of September 2008. Sadly MR. ALI MOISI EL-SAAD was among
the death victims in the September 2009 earthquake in Indonesia that left
over 1,200 people dead while he was there on a business trip.

Meanwhile, i donâ€™t know you in person but i am 100% sure that we can join
our head together and achieve this great opportunity because i got your
contact address through my Country E-mail Data Directory while searching
for a credible and reliable foreign partner to share this information with
which i am counting on your sense of confidentiality as i desire that you
keep this business transaction top secret only to yourself because this is
huge amount of money involved.

Thatâ€™s why i am seeking your cooperation to present you as the one to
benefit from this fund as the next of kin, so that my bank headquarters
will pay the funds into your bank account. I have done enough inside the
bank arrangement and i only have to put in your details into the
Information network in the bank computers and document and reflect you as
his next of kin and the only beneficiary, if you agree with this proposal.
You will have 40% of the total funds while 60% will be mine.

Therefore, if you are interested and willing for us to achieve this great
opportunity kindly get back to me without further delay for more details on
how we could proceed and achieve these goals successfully.
