"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:
- "western union" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "moneygram" (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "hundred thousand us 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)
- "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.
Western Union money transfer is completely untraceable and therefore is *not* safe to use with anyone you do not know personally. It is the preferred method of online criminals to collect money from their victims.
MoneyGram money transfer is completely untraceable and therefore is *not* safe to use with anyone you do not know personally. Along with Western Union it is a preferred method of online criminals to collect money from their victims.
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.

Attention recipient,

The British High Commission in the Republic of Benin, Ghana, Burkina
Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Great Britain and Nigeria has received a fraud
report against you and other British, American, European, Malaysian
and Japanese nationals. The government of these five West African
countries whose citizens were involved in these fraudulent activities
have established a committee to compensate all victims of the fraud
due to pressure from the UN and the international community. Your name
and the names of other fraud victims have been sent to this committee
for compensation. All affected victims received their compensation via
ATM card.

However, your ATM CARD was among those reported as unclaimed and we
would like to advise you to follow the instructions of the committee
below to ensure that you get your ATM CARD for immediate use.

The ATM Card has been issued on the basis of the email address/name
which is alleged to have been defrauded/cheated in the past and has
been confirmed by the government/committee through Western Union Money
Transfer and Moneygramm assistant. Any victim who did not confirm
their own ATM CARD is presumed dead and their next of kin do not have
access to their information, so they were unaware of the ongoing
compensation. The total amount of funds credited to this ATM CARD is
only $500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars).

We recommend that you do everything necessary to ensure that you
receive your ATM card without delay. You are assured of the safety and
availability of the ATM CARD. Please note that you should cease
further contact/communication with all bogus lawyers and security
companies that have defrauded you in the past.
