"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!

Calvary greetings in the name of God,


pleaes reply via this email: mrssella@k.ro


I am Mrs. Sella KABILA NASSER, I am 45years old; a native of Dubai.My
late father was killed by his business associate in 2001,and during the

same period both my son and husband were also murdered in cold
blood , I am now afraid of showing myself to them (Business Associate
Including members of my Family) as all are after my life too, All
because after the death of my father, I inherited all his business and
wealth.


Currently, I am suffering from leukemia. From all indications,my
condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not
live more than six months, because the cancer stage has gotten to a
very Severe stage.


Infact, my personal physician told me that I may not live for more than

six months and I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide
part of this wealth,by contributing to the well being of less
privileged people and handicapped in the society of Asian,which is in
my place, America, Europe and African Countries.


This mission, which will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently
relocate from my family house to new place where I live presently due
to the preassure my family members are giving me as they want to share
the fund within themself's which i don't want.


I selected you for this Purpose and prayed over it, I am willing to
donate the sum of $11,300,000.00(Eleven million three hundred thousand
us dollars) to you for the development of the well being of handicapped

in the society and also as aids for the less privileged,and i have
mapped out $1,300,000.00 (one million three hundred thousand us
dollars) for your own personal use to help me in this work.


Please note that, this fund is currently in Security company in Eroupe
and, therefore my ATTORNEY will file an immediate application for the
release of the money in your name. Please, do not reply me if you have
the intention of using this fund for personal use,than enhancement of
the comfort of the Handicapped. Lastly, I want you/your home to be
praying for me as regards my entire life and my health because I have
come to find out since my spiritual rebirth lately that wealth
acquisition without God in one's life is vanity upon vanity.

I await your urgent reply.


Mrs Sella Kabila Nasser

IN GOOD FAITH
