"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:
- "clearance fee" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- ",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)
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.

Subject: GREETINGS TO YOU

Good day to you,

I am Mr. Jude William Elliot, 66 years old male senior US citizen and
I am resident at 312 Detroit Ave Staten Island, NY 10312U.S.A - my
email address is [judeelliot082@gmail.com] my telephone # is (218)
579-9342 you can call me or send me a text message

Permit me to share this piece of good-news with you. I am one of the
victims that fell into hands of African scam syndicate about 5 years
ago and I had lost over US$150,000.00 through those sad past years
while I was trying to get my payments but all to no avail.The
syndicates always stopped my funds somewhere, with one callous and
malicious reason or another.

I got tired of the silly stories and I decided to fly with my son to
report this to FBI in Washington DC with all paperwork and documents I
had concerning my funds, they (FBI) were disappointed with my naivety
and immediately contacted the some African embassies to file it in.
After an hours in the FBI debriefing room, I was released after the
interrogation officer was through with me, and I was advised to return
in a week.

I flew back to Washington DC a week later and met with FBI agent Kirby
who gave me the contact of one Ms.Alice F. Madison who is a
representative of the (FBI) and a member of the compensation
reconciliation committee, here in the United States for oversea arrest
repatriation of Nigerian syndicates who are on the FBI wanted list.

When I contacted Ms.Alice F. Madison, she explained everything to that
I was a victim of a big scourge, and told me simply that the people
contacting me from various departments and offices by phone and email
are all fake and rippers. She advised that I should fly back to
Washington DC to see files and everything for myself.

I made the trip back and she picked me up at the airport, we headed
straight to the compensation payment department and she brought out my
file, signed it off and took me to the paying bank for the release of
my payment. This was paid to me successfully. Right now I am the
happiest man on earth because I had finally received my overdue and
outstanding payment of US$1,500,000.00 in full.

Ms.Alice F. Madison showed me the list of beneficiaries yet to receive
their payments, that was how I came across your name and email
address, I implore you to make haste and contact this FBI lady for
your own payment. The only fee I paid after I met with Ms.Alice F.
Madison was only a mandatory $550 (Five Hundred & Fifty US Dollars)
for the administrative and clearance fees.

If it means anything to you, then I advise that you contact Ms.Alice
F. Madison at your earliest convenience time and report your case,
state your full names, telephone number and residence address - so she
can verify if your name is on her list and I assure you it is, because
I saw with my own eyes that your name and email are on that list.

You can reach Ms.Alice F. Madison through her
email:[alicemadison202@gmail.com] for the release of your own money
including the money you lost to the scam artists. I implore you to
take this very serious.

Thank you & do have a blessed day.

Sincerely,

Mr. Jude William Elliot.
