"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:
- "hundred thousand united states dollars" (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)
- ",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.

Subject: OVERDUE FUND PAYMENT

Attention Beneficiary,

We received a report from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in
conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) demanding
explanations for the delay of your overdue compensation fund payment
approved by the United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC) and we have
investigated this case only to find out that you've been ignorantly having
illegal financial dealings with some online perpetrators who have taken
advantage of your legitimate transaction in our custody in order to siphon
your hard earned money.

Furthermore, the investigation report suggested that you have furnished
your personal data to the perpetrators and we assume you must have
sponsored the release of this fund but all to no avail; however there is no
cause for alarm as the investigation has also proved that you have no hand
in any form of financial violation act. So our office has been mandated by
the World Bank Group to monitor your compensation fund remittance at the
valuation of $7,500,000.00 (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) only which will be released to you by the nominated paying
bank via an ATM card that will be issued in your name and delivered to your
postal address.

Paramount, we advise that you STOP all dealings involving any sort of
financial support to corrupt individuals posing to be from financial
institutions in order to avoid any form of jeopardy in your compensation
fund release process and be rest assured that you are now dealing with the
rightful authorities.

Therefore, you are requested to adhere to all directives that will be given
to you henceforth. Although we already have your information on our
database, but in order to ascertain that we are in communication with the
rightful beneficiary, you are to re-confirm the below information for final
verification process;

1. Full Names:
2. Gender:
3. Nationality:
4. Occupation:
5. Postal Address:
6. Residential Address:
7. Telephone Number:
8. Mobile Number:
9. Marital Status:
10. Age:
11. Alternative E-mail ID:
12. Copy of any identification document

Upon the receipt of the above information and final verification process,
we shall furnish you with further directives and contact details of the
financial institution nominated to commence with your fund release process.

Your urgent response will be highly appreciated to enable us to serve you
better.

PS. Ensure that your response is directed to this email address:
michaelmoller1.un@gmail.com

Yours Sincerely,

Michael Moller |Director-General | United Nations
