"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!

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.

The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "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)

Hello,I'm writing to ask for your humanitarian help on behalf of my daughter, Vane Demire. My name is Mr Demire Artem, and I am in a desperate condition as a result of the crisis in my country. The Russian troops invaded us, and I lost my wife in the incident, leaving me with my only child. Previously, I was able to liquidate my properties and earn the sum of 12,800,000.00 Euros. consequentially , I was forced to join the Ukrainian army in order to self-guide my country. In the meantime, my daughter had fled to a refugee camp in Hungary. My main concern is that my daughter not grow up as an orphan. As a result, I politely request that you remove my daughter from the refugee camp andÂ become her guide as I am uncertain of my safety as we are surrounded by the Russian military with sophisticated weapons. my wish is that you would register her in a renowned school in your nation.To protect my daughter's future, I recommend investing 60% of the assets in a viable business endeavor, with the earnings going towards her upbringing and schooling. Furthermore, I recommend putting 30% of the total cash into a fixed deposit account at your bank, which my daughter will be able to access once she reaches the age of 18.As a token of appreciation for your assistance, you may retain 10% of the funds for yourself and your family.Therefore, I place my trust in you to provide her with the care and support necessary. I eagerly await your response.
