"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!

My dear one who is suffering,We have come up with some newresearch to help you in your suffering. If you will have your MedicalDoctor contact us we will be furnishing the information and the fundsto acquire them. It is a special formula and requires a veryscientific approach.The combination of R-CMP and SNOT.R-CMP is actuallyshort for R-cytidine monophosphate, and is actually a component of RNA,the nucleic acid which transcribes the genetic information from the DNAso that it can be translated into protein.SNOT is the commonly used acronym for argininosuccinatesynthetase, which is a chemical found in the brain. Tritiated tinhydroxide goes by the wonderful chemical formula of SnOT. David Ball, achemist in Cleveland Ohio, was working on isotopomers of SnOH, andafter tritiating it found he got SnOT. His paper concludes with thewonderful phrase "Since Wang et al did not use tritium substitution, wecan state with certainty that there was no SnOT in their samples".As my good
friend, Reverend T. Horton, Church of the Holy Canine, always tells me:Psalms 31:9 O' Lord have mercy on me in my anguish. My eyes are red from weeping;my health is broken from sorrow.Now,just so you understand, I don't believe that all sickness is a directresult of sin in one's life. Bad things happen to good people for thepurpose of punishment, for purification and for preparation. Our bodiesalong with the entire creation were adversely affected by theintroduction of sin into the Garden of Eden by the self-willed choiceof mankind. Some sickness (mental and physical) is a result of thenature decay and reduced entropy of the cosmos, but not nearly as muchas modern man would like to believe. So we might well want to saveourselves a lot of money that is going to counselors and drugs, andjust try the good old Biblical method of * Personal accountability * Confession of sin, repentance and restitution, and * Godly living.Respectfully yours,Dr. Cravin D Moorhead, MD,
