"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.
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.

Hyvää päivää

Hei, pahoittelen yksityisyytesi loukkaamista, erityisesti ottamalla sinuun yhteyttä sähköpostitse kunnioittavasti,
Kaikella kunnioituksella sain nimesi etsiessäni yrityksiä Googlesta, lähetin sinulle muutama päivä sitten kiireellisen sähköpostin, mutta en saanut sinulta vastausta, viittaus rahansiirtoon sinulle kuolleelta sukulaiseltasi, joka työskenteli öljy- ja kaasualalla. Eurooppa, suuri sukulaisesi, joka kuoli viime vuonna Covid-19:ään, oli kotoisin maastasi, hän jätti sinulle vain 31 miljoonan euron (31 miljoonan euron) käteisperinnön. Autan sinua ja saan rahat maksetuksi sinulle 30 % summasta. Lähetä koko nimesi ja puhelinnumerosi alla olevaan yksityiseen sähköpostiosoitteeseeni ja kerro ammattisi, jotta voimme aloittaa prosessin. Tiedän, etten ole asianajajasi, mutta voin auttaa sinua ja saada rahat sinulle. Se on ulkomaisessa offshore-pankissa. Tämä liike on luottamuksellista ja se on pidettävä välillämme salassa. Puhun englantia ja toivon, että se on ok?
Kiitos
