"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!

Beloved In Christ,

Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs. Aisha
Alade Bamaiyi, a widow to Late Sherrif Bamaiyi, I am 71years old, I am now a
new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast.

From all indications, my condition is serious and according to my doctor it
is quite obvious that I may not survive the sickness, although as a
christain,I believe God and I know that I will not die, I will leave to
declare the glory of God. My late husband and my only son was killed during
the Ogoni Crisis and I am presently Leaving alone. Our Lord Jesus Christ is
my comforter.

My late husband was very wealthy we have a lot of properties including
Shares and houses. After the death of my husband, I made up my mind to
travel abroad to leave the rest of my life and continue to do the work of
God as a missionary.I called our lawyer and I instructed him to sell all my
husbands properties and shares to enable me raise some money to conitue my
mission. The lawyer sold the Shares and some of the properties and I was
able raise the sum of $11,000,000.00(eleven million US Dollars) The fund is
in cash, for the safety of the fund till am able to travel out, I packaged
the fund in consignments deposited it with a Security Company.

Presently, all the documents concerning the consignments are with my
lawyer.Now that my sickness has gone to this stage, I am scared and I want
the fund to be used for the work of God all over the world. I have prayed
and I told God to direct me to an honest Christ who will receive this fund
and utilise it for things that will glorify the name of God.

After my prayers, I searched the Christian site in the Internet, I found
your email address and I decided to contact you. Please if you are
interested in using this fund for the work of God, please send to me your
full names and address to enable me give it to my lawyer for immediate
arrangement with the security company on how the consignments that contained
the fund will be delivered to you.

I await your urgent reply.

Thanks and God bless you.

Mrs. Aisha Alade Bamaiyi.
