THE 419 EMAIL SCAM

The most well-known online scam is most likely the 419 email scam. Even though many know about this online scam, people still fall for it every single day.

With the 419 email scam, a victim will usually receive an email from a stranger claiming to be a prince, a government worker, or someone else. The scammer then states that their money is currently “stuck” somewhere and they need money transferred to them so that they can gain access to their money (or something similar to this story).

The scammer then offers their victim a reward for “helping them out.”
Sadly, many fall for this scam all the time. Victims usually give up money of their own as well as their identity, and they receive nothing in return .

If you receive an email from someone claiming to be a foreign prince or something similar, just delete the email immediately. No prince is going to email you, no matter how interesting that sounds.
