"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: From:mrs rose kamara

From:mrs rose kamara
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into Business relationship.l
got your contact name from the lvoirian Chamber of Commerce and lndustry.l
prayedover it and selected your name among other due to its'esteeming nature
and recommandation given to me as reputable and trustworthy person.l must
not hasitate to confid in you for this simple and sincere business. ln briefy
introduction,
l am Mrs rose kamara anationality of Philippine . I am married to Mr.luke
kamara who worked with london embassy in IvoryCoast for nine years before
he died in the year 2001.We were married ,for eleven years without a child.
he died after a brief illness that lastedfor only four days. Before his
death we were living together in goodharmony. When my late husband was alive
we deposited the sum ofUSD$18.5 Million (eighteen Million Five hundred thousand
U.S. Dollars) in one of good security company here in COTE D' IVOIRE . Presently,
this money is still with the security company. Recently, my Doctor told
me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to Ophanage (less
previlages) or to an individual that will utilize this money the way I am
going to instruct here acording to my desire. I needed good and God fearing
partner that will use this fund for the helping orphanages, Research centres
and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God
is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand
that grivet. I took this decision because I don?t have any child that will
inherit this money and my husband,s relatives are not Christians and never
loved me for once through out my marriage expereince with my late husband.
therefor,I don?t want my family hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers.
I don't want a situation whereby this money will be used in an ungodly
manner.Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am notafraid of
death hence I know where I am going to. 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. I don't need any telephone communication
in this regard because of my health as my Medical Doctor advised and because
of the presence of my family relatives around me always. I don'twant 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 security company
who will assist you and work with you concerning the deposited money in
the security company. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will
empower you as the partner and the beneficiary of the money.
I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my
shepherd.My happiness is that I lived a life of a aged mother and 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 looking for contact for this same purpose.
Please assure me that youwill act Accordingly as I stated here.
Expecting to hearing from you.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,Mrs rose kamara.
