"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:

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:
- "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)
- "nigeria national petroleum corporation" (the name of a person or institution often appearing in 419 scams)
- "contract award committee" (the name of a person or institution often appearing in 419 scams)
- "lagos" (a location commonly mentioned in 419 scams)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Chairman contract award committee

Attn: Ceo

Dear Sir,

My name is Alhaji. Jubril Hassan, chairman contract award committee with
the Nigeria national petroleum corporation (NNPC).

Be informed that my partners and I awarded a contract to a foreign firm
(Gunther Heigl Daimler AG construction company Germany) with contract NO
NNPC/FMF/CBN/22/566/KADREF/98 for the maintenance of the Nigeria
petroleum-chemical complex located at Kaduna, Nigeria. The contract sum was
over invoiced to the cost of US$143, 000,000.00.

The original contractor Gunther Heigl Daimler AG construction company
Germany has been paid in full amount of the contract cost. What is now left
is the top up sum US$143, 000,000.00. We, as government officials, we're
not permitted to own or operate foreign bank accounts, therefore we need a
reliable person/company who will provide us with a foreign account where to
transfer and deposit this US$143, 000,000.00. All modalities for the easy
transfer of this money are now in place, the period of this transaction is
only two weeks from the day we receive your bank account details.

However, when this fund gets to your bank account, we will meet face to
face for the sharing arraignments. Note that 50% of our share will be
invested in your country and under your supervision. We propose to give you
30% of the total fund US$143,000.000.00, my partners and I will get 60% of
the entire funds, the balance of 10% will be allocated to cover all
expenses uncured by both partners, and be informed that this proposal is
urgent and confidential.

Please, contact me with your bank account details, company name/ address
and your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication and which
will also be used in securing the necessary documents for easy transfer of
the entire funds.

Awaiting your urgent response.

Best regards,

Alhaji. Jubril Hassan
