"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:

The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "activation fee" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "money gram" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- ",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)
- "diplomatic agent" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)

Dear.Beneficiary,

This is to bring to your notice that because of the impossibility of your fund
transfer through the Money Gram network, we have credited your total
of $28.5 million valid fund into an ATM MASTER CARD and I have paid
the re-activation fee and the delivery of the ATM Card To you,

I paid it because the ATM Card worth of $28,500,000.00 which I have
registered it delivery yesterday has less than 21 days to expire in
the custody of the DHL
Company and when it expires, the money will go into Federal Government
treasury account.
With that we decided to help you pay off the money so that the ATM
Card will not expire, because I trust that when you receive your ATM
Card definitely you must pay me

back my money and even compensate me for helping you.

Now I want you to confirm if everything i am telling you is real or
fake please track this number at DHL tracking : DHL tracking
;1230264884
DHL tracking ;1772858275

with your physical address you desire the delivery to be made so that
they can deliver your ATM Card to your designated address without any
delay.

Like I stated earlier, the crediting re-activation, delivery and the
company registration charges has been paid by me, but we did not pay
their official keeping fees since they refused, they refused and the
reason is that they do not know when you are going to contact them and
the demur rage might have increased by then, They told me that their
keeping fees is $50 per day only, and I deposited it yesterday on 9th
of January 2023

Below is the Contact Information of the
DHL, Express Customer Service
Director Mr. Saul Resnick
Email Address;redacted@domain.name
Phone Number;+44-786-797-6340
Whats App Number;+1-613-216-2311

Contact them today and also send them the security official keeping charge to
avoid increase of their fees and let me know once you receive your ATM card,
Important Notice, your ATM CARD package was registered as a gift so that the
diplomatic Agent will not know the content of your package okay.

Regards.
Mr. Saul Resnick
