"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:
- "courier company" (Courier companies mentioned in 419 scams are always fake. They will have you send money to them, but won't deliver anything. )
- "fedexexpccltd@outlook.com" (this email address has been used in a known scam)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.

ATTENTION: NOTICE OF PAYMENT!

This is to notify you that I have paid the postage and delivery fees for your ATM CARD. I paid because the ATM CARD in the amount of $ 2.7 million has less than a Month and four days to expire if not used and when it expires the money will go to the government treasure, With that I decided to help you pay the money so that the ATM CARD will not expire, because I know that when you get the CARD for sure you must pay me back and also compensate me.

Your ATM CARD has now been deposited with the FEDEX Courier Company for delivery, so I want you to contact the FEDEX Courier Company with your complete contact information so that they can deliver the ATM CARD to your designated address without any delay.

Your full name:
Residential address:
Phone number:
identity :

As I stated before, delivery charges were paid, but I did not pay the official maintenance/keeping fees, since they refused. The reasons for their refusal is because they don't know when you will get in touch with them. They told me that their maintenance/keeping fee is $ 25 a day. Below is their information,

Contact person: Mr. Anthony Mark.
FEDEX Courier Company.
Email: (fedexexpccltd@outlook.com)
Phone: +234 07013255701

Try to contact them as soon as possible to avoid mistakes in Delivery. I gave them your shipping address, but you must reconfirm it to them again to avoid any delivery errors, including with your identity or photo. I hope to hear from you as soon as you receive your ATM CARD.

Ask Mr. Anthony Mark, Director of the FEDEX Courier Company, how can you send them official maintenance/keeping fees that cost only $ 25 dollars per day.

Contact them today to avoid an increase in maintenance/keeping fees.
