"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.

Subject: Can i deposit $4,750,000.00 to your account?

Good day,

I came across your e-mail contact through private search, while searching
for a reliable, honest and a trustworthy person to entrust this huge
transfer project with. My name is Mr. Dede Joseph I am the accountant
manager in one of our Bank branch. I am from US, married and i have two
kids.

I am writing to solicit for your assistance for the transfer of funds valued
at $4,750,000.00 (four million, seven hundred and fifty thousand. United
States Dollars). This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the
Manager made as profit during the last annual audition. I have already
submitted an approved end of the year report for the year to my head office
in USA and the head office will never know of this excess. As an official of
the bank i cannot be directly connected to this fund, so this why I'm
contacting you for us to work for mutual benefits. I want you to assist in
receiving this fund, into your bank account for us. Meanwhile you will have
40% of the entire fund.

Note: there are practically. no risks involved as it is going to be bank to
bank transfer. All i need from you is to stand as the original depositor of
this fund who made the deposit with our branch so that my Head office can
order the transfer to your designated bank account.

If you accept to work with me, i will appreciate it so much. As soon as i
receive your response directly to my email address: (al8967366750@gmail.com
<mailto:al8967366750@gmail.com> ) i will give you details on how we can
achieve it successfully.

You can contact me through my personal E-mail address
(al8967366750@gmail.com <mailto:al8967366750@gmail.com> )

Best Regards
