"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)
- "00,000.00" (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)
- "barrister" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
This email message is a next of kin scam.
Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.
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.

research. Unfortunately, the search was unsuccessful.

In the interest of my deceased client, I decided to expand my
search through the office to find a family member or relative.
Through my search i come across your information, i know you may
not be biologically related into him, but because of a similarity
in your email identification compared with the deceased,I decided
contact and ask for your help. Before the accident that took his
life, my late client paid Euro 13,500,000.00 to the Depot Outlet
in Barcelona. As a lawyer for the late client, the bank has
advise me provide a next of kin,family member or his business
partner to apply for the deposit, otherwise the money will be
claimed by the Government. As with the situation mentioned above,
I am obliged to ask you to cooperate, which is strictly
confidential and safe.

However, I am aware that my request of this magnitude may cause
concern or uncertainty for someone. I assure you of my competence
to bring us through this process. I sincerely ask you for
permission to represent you as heir. The assets will be released
after the process. My suggestion is that the whole share be
shared equally among us. My only request to you is honest
cooperation and collaboration in order to be able to successfully
carry out the process. If you have any furtherquestions, please
do not hesitate to contact me:

order will be carried out under legal regulations, which protects
us from breaking the law. If I offended you in any way, I hope

please feel free to contact me for further explanations.
I will provide you with details and relevant documents that will
help you understand this transaction.
