"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:
- ",500,000" (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)
- "foreign exchange" (Banks mentioned in 419 scams are always fake (real banks don't communicate using mobile phones or free webmail addresses))
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.

To Whom It May Concern!

In accordance with the United Nation (UN) mandatory policy on international
monetary transactions and in conjunction with the World financial policy.
This notification is in respect of your Unclaimed Funds valued
(USD$10,500,000,00) which file was forwarded to us by the WORLD BANK. Going
by the security report before us you have gone through hard times paying a
lot of charges for the release of your fund without achieving success, so
we advise you to seize further communications with any individual, Bank or
its Agents regarding your fund, because they have nothing to offer you,
rather they will continue to steal from you, and any further dealing with
these miscreants will be at your own risk.

Following the issuance of the Foreign Exchange Approval to the HSBC BANK
NEW YORK on the recommendation of the United Nations Protocol's Blue Book
"Permanent Missions No. 295", issued in October 2015 with
ST/SG/SER.A/295/Add.5. I am pleased to inform you that the HSBC BANK NEW
YORK have been giving the sole mandate for release of your payment.

However, we have a problem at hand presently. We have a Memo from the HSBC
BANK that you are dead. According to the bank an application was submitted
by one Mrs. Jennifer Monsivais few days ago with a letter of authorization,
claiming to be your family legal representative who has the family mandate
to claim your fund on behalf of your family and the below banking
information was submitted:

BANK NAME: BANK OF AMERICA,
ACCOUNT NAME: JENNIFER MONSIVAIS
ROUTING NUMBER: 011024389
ACCOUNT NUMBER: 233012734259
SWIFT CODE: BOTAWS7N
BANK ADDRESS: 13810 Oakview Cove San Antonio TX 78245

Can anyone presently using this email account kindly confirm your knowledge
of Mrs. Jennifer Monsivais as mandated by your family to avoid wrongful
payment. We look forward to a swift response from the family and be assured
that your advice will be carried to the latter, and if our directives are
carefully followed the fund will be released to the account within five
Bank working days.

Yours sincerely,

Secretary General Dr. Atul Khare
Director of Operational Support
Payment/Transfer unit
