"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!

Peace of the lord be with your entire household

I am Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Jones, a Kuwaiti national
I was married to Dr.Harry Jones who worked with Kuwait
embassy in Ivory coast for nine years before he died
in the year 2000,He died after a brief illness that
lasted for only four days.Since his death I decided
not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial
home which the Bible is against.

We were married for eleven years and the union
unfortunately did not produce any offspring. Before
his death we had given our lives to Christ and were
living according to his Words. A few weeks ago I was
diagnosed with cancer and the doctor has informed me
that I do not have much time to live. Presently I

am practically an invalid as the cancer has ravaged my
body and I can feel my life slowly ebbing away. I
do not have much time to do the Lord's work but He
will give me strength to see my last assignment
through.

My husband, Dr.Harry Jones before his death deposited
his life savings of $8.6Million (Eight Million Six
hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) in a consignment with a
financial institution in the European continent as
gtem stones for security reasons unknown to the
security firm best known to me,my attorney and my late
husband.

Before his death, we were committed to the growth of
the church And the propagation of the word, but I
can no longer partake in these noble tasks. I need a
church, Christian individual or individuals who can
continue the work on our behalf and will utilize this

money the way I am going to instruct here into-funding
churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word
of God and to ensure that the house of God is
maintained. To care for the sick, the poor, the
downtrodden wherever they may be The Bible made us to
understand that blessed is the hand that gives.

I took this decision because I don't have any child or
next of kin who can inherit these funds. Though the
internet is a seemingly unlikely place to find such
individuals, I believe that the Lord hides jewels in
the most unlikely places. It is not the means that is

important but the message. I know that I am going to
be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says
that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my
peace. With God all things are possible.

My lawyer who is presently on an assignment in The
Netherlands he will issue you a letter of authorization
that will prove you as the present- beneficiary to
these funds and also other documents backing the claim
of the consignment funds. I want you and the church to
always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd.

Happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
stated herein.Hoping to hearing from you.
N.B-PLEASE I WILL ADVICE YOU TO GIVE THE LAWYER IN
CHARGE A CALL IN THE NETHERLANDS IMMEDIATELY, HE DOES

EVERYTHING ON MYBEHALF AND HE'S VERY UNDERSTANDING AND I BELIEVE HE WILL LEAD
YOU TO YOUR SUCCESS IN JESUS.
