"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:
- "united state of america" (this email uses bad English)
- "high court" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
- "federal high court" (This court is often mentioned in '419' scams to give the victim a reason why he/she should send thousands of dollars to the scammers. A 'Federal High Court' exists in Germany and Nigeria, but not in other countries, such as the UK, Spain, Netherlands, Senegal, Benin, South Africa or other countries where fake lawyers in scams often claim to be based. )
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.

Good News to us all Victims, Yes I know we donâ€™t know each other but
you need the truth because it will be of great help to many of us to
STOP feeding scammers,

I am Marian Thompson Victoria, from Bowie Maryland USA, I was one of
the victims in Africa/United States for the past 6 years and they
refused to pay me, I had tried in different ways to get my payment but
all to no avail, I had contacted so many FAKE groups and Banks like
Royal Bank of Scotland offshore Branch, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo
Bank, PNC Bank, Federal reeve bank, CIBC Bank USA so many more I
couldnâ€™t remember, thinking they were helping me but rather, they were
busy defrauding my hard-earned money, I am sorry telling my past, but
I had to say it because this massage will save many people out there
because I wouldn't want anybody to experience what I went through in
the hands of those crooks, which I have paid thousands of dollars for
various reasons, in order to get the fund all to no avail.

Because of my past experience, I decided never to deal with anybody
anymore, until on the 17th of November 2021, I got a mail from a Man
named Kenneth Sharpe from FL telling me to contact James George
Attorney General of Federal High Court of Justice UNITED STATE OF
AMERICA if I havenâ€™t received my fund, honestly, I thought it was
another trick to scam me, but I later decided to give it a try by
contacting the Attorney on the email address I saw on the mail, And to
my greatest surprise it happened to be 100% true,

Today I am very happy to announce the good news to the public that I
have finally received my fund through this Attorney General, honestly,
I still can't believe this because I have tried over 6 solid years and
got absolutely NOTHING, I lost over $140,000.00 to scammers, but
through this Attorney, I received my fund in just FOUR DAYS,

I know you may be wondering how I got my fund without paying $, yes,
the only money I paid was $450 and it was used to obtain a fund permit
certificate in my name which I have a copy of with me, my advice is to
us all is to STOP dealing with wrong people and contact this Attorney
General of Federal High Court of Justice UNITED STATE OF AMERICA to
claim yours, her email address is (jamegor12394@gmail.com ) Please
feel free to contact him immediately you received this message

Please kindly fill in this information for identification purposes.
