"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:
- "your urgent reply" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
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: WE THE UKRAINIAN'S CITIZENS NEED YOUR URGENT HELP,

Hello,

My name is Mrs.Avocatea Sukhovitsky Anastasiya, a full citizen of Ukraine. I am the wife of Major general Andrei Sukhovetsky who was shot dead by Russian troops by snipers on the 3rd March 2022. After my husband was killed by Russian Troops I tried all I could to flee Ukraine with my two daughters to Poland unfortunately I and my two daughters of 9,11years old were attacked by Russian troops before the outskirt of Kyiv with a Ukrainian force who were escorting us to cross the border on a gun battle between the Russian troop and the Ukrainian force who were escorting us and the Gun battle took 45 minutes a straight bullet hit my two daughters head and stomach they both died instantly in my present.

I was shot on my leg and arms by the Russian troops and the Ukrainian force tried their best to move me to the hospital. It's really an injustice that the Russian president executed our Ukrainian military and top major generals to take control and take over power in Ukraine.

Right now I'm currently in the hospital in Ukraine where my life is not safe, receiving treatment on my injuries sustained in the attack by Russian troops.Please note that before my late husband was shot dead by the Russian troops he was able to move out sum funds out of the country in expectation that this day would come but we never anticipated that it would come this fast.

Please, I urgently need your honest help. I would like you to help me secure this fund until I am fully recovered from the hospital and find my way out of the country, which is 50\50 chance right now.

The total amount is €12.5Million Euros and I am willing to give you 40% of the total fund for your help and sincere assistance to claim the funds on my behalf. I will give more details as soon as I receive your reply. Please help me and include my life and that of my country Ukraine and its citizens in your daily prayers.

I will be waiting to receive your urgent reply today through my direct email:avocateavibitton.fr@gmail.com

Sincerely,
Mrs.Avocatea Sukhovitsky Anastasiya.
