"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:
- "hundred thousand united states dollars" (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)
- ",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)

My Greetings To You And Contact My PA,

I am Mrs. A. Rosemary Johnson from Bahrain, and Secretary to
Mr. Ali Banat an Australian of Palestinian origin a Businessman
philanthropist,a Young Muslim who donated his entire wealth to the
needy dies from cancer. Google has his name Ali Banat see it on
the down forwarded message to you;

l am 65 years old and a coveted born again Christian, suffering from
long time cancer of the breast, from all indication my condition is
really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that I might not live
more than six (6) months, according to my doctor because the cancer
has gotten to a very worst/dangerous stage.

Mr. Ali Banat died few years ago, his death was politically motivated.
My late Boss was a very rich and wealthy businessman who was running
his Gold and Diamond Business in Indonesia. After his death, I inherited
all his business and wealth. My doctors have advised me that I may not
live for more than six (6) months, so I now decided to divide part of
this wealth,to contribute and help the Less Privilege, Motherless Home,
and to the development of the church and Mosque in America, Asia, and
Europe and Africa. I got your email address during my desperate search
on the internet and I prayed over it.

I decided to donate the sum of Five Million Five hundred thousand
United States Dollars $55,500,000.00 USD Only, to the less privileged
because I cannot take this money to the grave. Please I want you to
note that this fund is lodged in a Bank and shall splits according my
principle directive since I can't make it according to the Doctor.

Once I hear from you, I will forward to you all the information you
will use to get this fund released from the bank and to be transferred
to your bank account. I honestly pray that this money when transferred
to you will be used for the said purpose because l has come to find
out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity. Contact my PA
Don Sodicson on his Email;angdeesodiky@gmail.com and from now henceforth,
you shall be dealing with my Personal Assistance because I can't help my
self.

Pray For Me And May Peace Be With You And Your Family, Share %60 From
This Fund To The Mentioned People And Then Make Use Of The Remaining
%40 of The Fund For Your Self.

Best Regards
Mrs. A. Rosemary Johnson
