"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!

Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?please=20get=20back=20to=20me?=

From: Mrs magret Kheradmand of Kuwait
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am a South African by nationality
and married to Dr. Benham Kheradmand who worked with Kuwait Embassy in Ivory
Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2000. We were married for
eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted
for only four days. Before his death we were both christians who always
seek the glory of God at all times, though we are not perfect but only made
perfect through his grace.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outsidemy matrimonial

home because i think time has runned against my age and natural ability
.When
my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $8.6Million (Eight Million
six hundred thousandU.S.Dollars) with a Deposit and Deliverng Company in
monaco
france.
Presently, this money is still with the firm and the management just wrote
me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the trunk box of money
or rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody to receive it on my
behalf if I can not come over.

Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for

oesophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors
have told me that I have only a few months to live It is my last wish to
see this money distributed to victims of fire outbreak in Australia and
other charity
organizations. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my

wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this
huge
responsibility to any of them.

Please,I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit and the
interest accured from the company and distribute it accordingly.
I want a God fearing person to use this money to fund orphanages, widows
and
where ever Gods name are always mentioned and worship propagating the word

of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.
The scripture made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.

I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this
money and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused Hence
the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence
I know where I am going.I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the
Lord. Exodus14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold
my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because
of my soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me always.
I don't want them to know about this development.
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall
give you the contact of the Deposit Company in monaco france and also give
you a certificate of deposit of this money so that the company will be able
to release the funds to you.
I want you to always pray for me . My happiness is that I lived a life of
a worthy Christian, whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him
in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any
delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another person for
this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

Hoping to hearing from you soon.

Mrs Magret Kheradmand
