"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.
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)
- "barrister" (Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
Barristers (lawyers) mentioned in 419 scams are always fake.
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.

live in Mount Kisco, New York. My Address is 365 Sarles St, Mt Kisco, NY
10549, USA. I'm thinking of moving because now I'm a wealthy woman, I was
one of the scam victims who participated in the Compensation Awards Program
in the United States and Europe many years ago and they refused to pay me.
I paid over $27,500 to a scammer while in the US. to buy it all for the
benefit so I decided to travel to Stockholm, Sweden with all the
compensation documents and I was told to contact Barrister Jan Jensen, a
member of the Compensation Awards Program, I contacted him through Email
and he explained every detail to me. He said whoever contacted me now is a
fake Pretend, he's the only one assigned to compensate me.He took me to the
bank to claim my compensation money right now I am the happiest woman in
the world because I have received $5,500,000.00 in compensation (Five
Million and Five Hundred Thousand Dollars). In addition, Barrister Jan
Jensen shows all the information and a list of those who have not been paid
and I saw your name and email address as one of the benefactors. This is
why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those scammers They don't
have your money. They are just extort money from you by trickery means. I
would advise you to contact Barrister Jan Jensen now for assistance You
