What should I do if I receive a Nigerian 419 email?

There are 3 ways you can react:

  1. Ignore it. Delete the email and forget all about it.
  2. Report it. Find the domain name in the emailaddress, for example xcvmail.com. Inform the fraud protection team by copying the email message and its header information into a new email addressed to abuse@xcvmail.com (Note 1). The header is very important for locating where the email was sent from.
  3. Answer it. Have some fun as I have had, but realize that you are dealing with criminals. NEVER give them any personal details, and NEVER send them any money. Read about scambaiting first by following the links on my linkspage. If you want to send a short answer, see my suggested answers.

Support this site

I have set up this site because I am worried for all those who are tempted by the millions of dollars that they are offered by the scammers. I hope that my stories will make them realize that it is all lies, although many of the stories are filled with names of real persons, banks and historic events, and that the scammers will use every trick in the book to get you to pay.

This site is funded by me, and it takes a big effort to keep it up-to-date. If you like my site, and will help me in keeping it alive, I will appreciate if you make a small donation.
