"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!

Dearly Beloved ,

Greetings in the name of the lord and saviour Jesus Christ, who Daily loads
us with benefits.It is rich to celebrate the rich and overflowing treasures
of his love towards us throughout our lives. It does not matter what we
are going
through, but the most important and wonderful thing of all is that his saving
power and strength has delivered us.
My name is Mrs Niname Abubakah and i am married to Mr Brown Abubakah, who
worked with the united kingdom"s diplomatic mission in Saudi Arabia for
nine years.My husband died as a result of a suicide bomb attack on the united
kingdom commission's offic! e complex in Jeddah Saudi Arabia in the year
2001.

The attack was a calculated assasination plot, targeted to warn the coalition
and it's allies against their unholy occupation and stay in the holy city.I
was married to my late husband for eleven years without giving birth to
a child.Until my husbands death we were both born again Christians and loved
the things and work of God.Before my late husband's assasinaton, he had
a huge cash deposit in a Finance Company in Europe, which he intended to
use for a latter charity foundation programme of assisting the poor,opharnage
and the needy, (matthew chapter 6 verses 1 - 4).I already know and thank
God that lots of
souls are won to his kingdom.(2 timothy chapter 4 vs 5: "but watch all things,
endure affliction, do the work of evangelism and full proof of the ministry
saith the Lord".) Recently i have been diagnosed with cancer of the heart
and medical experts confirmed and has informed me that i have a few period
to live
because of my present condition that has defiled all forms of medical treatment.What
presently bothers me most is my paralytic condition as a result of the complicated
heart problems that has finally lead to stroke.

Having known my present predicament and have no other option or way to
run this pet project, I decided to donate this fund to someone the SPIRIT
will direct to me that
ha the fear of GOD and of a sound mind that will utilize this money the
way I will instruct.Please do not question this because i decided to wait
for the directive of the SPIRIT, after which you where choosen and picked
out of the
numerous alternatives to share love, experience, knowlegde, care and ideas
of the lord with as many people that needs assistance, help, comfort and
the saving power of our Lord. I am a true b! orn again christain and i dont
have anyone to present to the finance company to claim and utilize this
funds in line with i and my late husbands dream and charity

project,(luke chapter 6 verses 19 - 2, mark chapter 12 vs 41 - 45).In the
light of the above, i want to present you to the finance company as the
beneficiary of the funds,Immediately i register enough trust and confidence
in you.

If you are serious and willingly to assist me in this project of love and
charity,i will confide and instruct you on how you are to use the funds
on my behalf to assist, organise and manage my dream project.I will want
you to help me collect this cash deposit and dispatched it on my behalf,
I shall put you in the picture of the funds and tell you where the funds
are currently being maintained and also discuss modalities including remuneration
for your
services.You will be issued a letter of authority that will empower you
as the new beneficiary of the funds. As i write to you this letter in tears
and in pains from my sick bed, I appeal to you to be sincere and promise
me to act and help accordingly on my behalf as the new beneficiary of the
funds.

Pls let this not come as a surprise to you,The SPIRIT ministered to me to
give you this funds because you are going to use this funds for the purpose
i will
instruct.Pls do not refuse or go contrary because the lord is watching you.

For this reason kindly furnish your contact information, that is your address,
personal telephone and fax number for confidential purposes. If you are
okay with this proposals and willing to assit the work of the Almighty.

May the good lord watch over you and bless you richly as you assist me and
the body of Christ to help the needy.Please always put me in your daily
prayers and read this verses in accomplishment of his words (matthew chapter
5 verses 5 -11) You are to read and note the contents of my e-mail properly,so
that you can understand this whole assingment carefully.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Your beloved sister,

Mrs.Niname Abubakah
