"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)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.

Dear Sir/Ma,

It is noted that scam crime is on the increase across the World and
investigations by UN revealed that several people who have fallen
victim to scam crime are usually left either bankruptcy, deserted by
families, sick or even dead.

To have a peaceful and healthy society, U.N. in collaboration with the
World Bank as co sponsors, have began implementing the FBI
recommendations to bring relief to the victims, hence a compensation
of US$1, 500,000.00 to each victim.

We need your information that will enable us certify the report of
your involvement in this scam as revealed by the FBI reports. The
required details are your full name, cell phone number, home address,
copy of ID card and banking coordinates.

Congratulations.

Eric W. Holmes.
