"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:
- "dear friend" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "inheritance funds" (a common phrase found in 419 scams)
- "barrister" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
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.

Hi my dear friend,

It’s true we may not know each other, but by God grace “I” think you need the truth to protect yourself from being defrauded,

I am JOY Ann Kuhlmeyer, from Toronto Canada, I was one of the Victims in Africa by some individuals whom I contacted to help me get my Inheritance Funds, but they all took advantage of me and left me a Bankrupt, I have tried in different ways to get my payment but all to know avail, I lost my life savings to different FAKE groups that claimed to be working in Banks like CBN Bank, Zenith Bank, UBA BANK, FIRST BANK and so many others thinking they were helping me, but rather, they were busy defrauding my hard earned money, I am very sorry telling my past, but I think there are many innocent people out there that need this message to STOP feeding scammers, Honestly I wouldn't want anybody to experience what I went through in the hands of those crooks, I lost all my friends because I refused to listen to their advice, simply because I thought I was on the right part without knowing I was feeding scammers,

But the good news today is that, the Lord has finally remembered me, few weeks ago I received a mail from a Man in the state of Arizona advising me to contact one Mrs/Barrister in Nigeria to claim my lost fund if I have not gotten mine, immediately I thought it was another trick to scam me, but last week I decided to give it a try by contacting the barrister on the email address I saw on the mail, And to my greatest surprise it happened to be 100% real, Before now, I promised never to share this message until I receive my fund and then be convinced enough before letting people know, and Today I am now writing with joy to advise us all to STOP feeding scammers out there and contact this barrister on the email below if you haven’t yet claimed yours,

You may be wondering how I got my fund without paying a $ Cent, the only money I paid was $520 and it was used to obtained a permit certificate in my name which I have the copy on file, my advice to you is to STOP dealing with those crooks and contact this barrister to claim your fund, her email address is (elected2016barr@gmail.com), I am a living testimony.

Yours Sincerely

JOY Ann
