"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:

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:
- ",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)
- "the diplomat " ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
- "courier service" (Courier companies mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. They will have you send money to them, but won't deliver anything. )
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

We are writing this email to you and you should please respond to this
email very urgently.

We have perfected modalities on how to bring this fund to your house
without any problem, but be aware that Barclays Bank Plc and the government of
London has only authorized us the release of $15,500,000.00 in cash.
The diplomat
from the UK Embassy will leave within three days to your country. Your
urgent response to this email will facilitate the delivery of the fund.

The diplomat must leave within three days as I have stated above,
but that can be done if we can have the following information:

Your Full Name:
Your Home Address:
Your Direct Phone Number:
Your identification:

Once information is received, it will enhance the smooth delivery of the
fund. Why the phone and name are the most important information is that
it enables the diplomat to call you on arrival to your country. Every
arrangement is in top gear and only you will make this a realty.

Note the fund will be brought to your house without further ado.

Best Regards
Justin Wilson
