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

Subject: Re : Hola,

Hola,
Disculpe esta forma de contactar con usted, acabo de ver su perfil y pensé que era la persona que necesitaba. En resumen, me llamo Jacques BOUCHEX, de origen francés. Padezco una grave enfermedad que me condena a una muerte segura, cáncer cerebral, y dispongo de una suma de veinticinco millones quinientos mil euros (25.500.000 euros) que deseo entregar a un tercero fiable y honesto para su buen uso. Tengo una empresa que importa aceite rojo a Francia y otros países. Perdí a mi mujer y a mis dos encantadores hijos hace 10 años en un desgraciado accidente de tráfico. Me gustaría donar esta cantidad antes de morir, ya que mis días están contados. Por favor, envíenme un correo electrónico a jacques.bouchex@hotmail.com Que el Señor les bendiga.
Jacques BOUCHEX
