"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.
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.

mÃ´j milovanÃ½,

VolÃ¡m sa Pauline MacMillan Keinath, narodila som sa 31. jÃºla 1934 v
okrese Hennepin v Minnesote v SpojenÃ½ch Å¡tÃ¡toch americkÃ½ch. Som
pravnuÄkou Williama Wallacea Cargilla, zakladateÄ¾a Cargill, najvÃ¤ÄÅ¡ej
sÃºkromnej spoloÄnosti v USA. Som dediÄka americkÃ©ho miliardÃ¡ra. MÃ¡m 88
rokov; som veÄ¾mi starÃ½ a slabÃ½. MomentÃ¡lne som hospitalizovanÃ½ kvÃ´li
mÃ´jmu zdravotnÃ©mu problÃ©mu, ktorÃ½ sa poslednÃ© 2 mesiace zhorÅ¡uje.
BohuÅ¾iaÄ¾, mÃ´j lekÃ¡r mi minulÃ½ tÃ½Å¾deÅˆ diagnostikoval a zo sprÃ¡vy lekÃ¡ra
vyplÃ½va, Å¾e mi zostÃ¡va uÅ¾ len Å¡esÅ¥ tÃ½Å¾dÅˆov Å¾ivota.

Po mojej rodine som zdedil celkovÃº sumu 5,8 miliardy dolÃ¡rov. Z tÃ½chto
5,8 miliardy dolÃ¡rov (pÃ¤Å¥ miliÃ¡rd osemsto miliÃ³nov americkÃ½ch dolÃ¡rov)
som daroval sumu 5 790 000 000 USD (pÃ¤Å¥ miliÃ¡rd sedemsto devÃ¤Å¥desiat
miliÃ³nov americkÃ½ch dolÃ¡rov) niekoÄ¾kÃ½m rÃ´znym organizÃ¡ciÃ¡m, medzi
ktorÃ© patria cirkvi, Å¡koly, mimovlÃ¡dne organizÃ¡cie a charitatÃvne
organizÃ¡cie. Teraz darujem sumu 10 000 000 USD (len desaÅ¥ miliÃ³nov
USD) vÃ¡m a vaÅ¡ej rodine ako dar, Äo sÃº celkovÃ© peniaze, ktorÃ© mi
zostali. DÃ´vod, preÄo som sa rozhodol darovaÅ¥ tento fond, je ten, Å¾e
by som nechcel ako bezpeÄnostnÃ¡ spoloÄnosÅ¥, kde som v sÃºÄasnosti
uloÅ¾il tento fond, aby som zdedil peniaze, zatiaÄ¾ Äo peniaze by sa
mohli pouÅ¾iÅ¥ na pomoc Ä¾udstvu a nÃºdznym Ä¾uÄom v spoloÄnosti.

PodÄ¾a lekÃ¡rskej sprÃ¡vy z minulÃ©ho tÃ½Å¾dÅˆa mi lekÃ¡r povedal, Å¾e mi
zostÃ¡va uÅ¾ len 6 tÃ½Å¾dÅˆov Å¾ivota, a preto som sa rozhodol darovaÅ¥ tento
dar. Bol by som rÃ¡d, keby ste mi potvrdili viac o mne kliknutÃm alebo
nÃ¡vÅ¡tevou tohto odkazu/webovej strÃ¡nky niÅ¾Å¡ie:

https://dbpedia.org/page/Pauline_MacMillan_Keinath

VÅ¡etko, Äo musÃte urobiÅ¥, je kontaktovaÅ¥ ma prostrednÃctvom mÃ´jho
osobnÃ©ho e-mailu (ioffice22@yahoo.com) s vaÅ¡Ãm celÃ½m menom
& nÃ¡zov vaÅ¡ej krajiny, aby som vÃ¡m mohol poskytnÃºÅ¥ viac informÃ¡ciÃ o
tom, ako vÃ¡m budÃº vyplatenÃ© peniaze.

OkamÅ¾ite sa mi vrÃ¡Å¥te.
S Ãºctou,
Pani Pauline MacMillan Keinath.
