"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: PRAYER MAKES A WAY


Hollo ,
Prayer costs time... far more precious than silver and gold in today's
world, eh? God still sits on His throne, the devil is a liar. You may be
going through a tough time right now but God is getting ready to bless you
in a way that only He can. Keep the faith.

I am Jerrian Hanshaw from Malaysia. I am married to late Lee Hanshaw of
blessed memory who worked with Malaysia embassy in Benin Repoblic for eleven
years before he died in the year 2003.

We are married for ten years without a child; he died after a brief
illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both devoted
Christians. Since his death I too have been battling with both cancer and
fibroid problem. 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 sickness. Having known my
condition , My instructions were to donate this fund to a charity
organization, devoted Christian individual and God fearing person that will
utilize this money and I picked you among the persons God wanted to bless
that is why I have agree to give you the $85,000.00 with all sincerity to
fund &#8230;&#8230;..

The Word of God emphasizes so much on God benevolence that I make this
decision because I don&#8217;t have any child that will inherit this money and my
husband relatives are not God fearing, for they are into idolatry worship I
have made a Distribution for all of them .I know that after death I will be
with God the most beneficent and most merciful.

As Im presently in the hospital here in Malaysia, don&#8217;t need any
telephone communication in this regard because of my health.As soon as I
receive your reply , I shall give you the contact of the Finance Institution
in Republic of BENIN . I want you to know that this Funds $18,300,000.00
Dollars are currently in a security company in Benin republic awaiting for
claim instructions ,this Funds you will receive on my Behalf as it is from a
Dying Woman , you will use it to Bless other less Fortunate ones And
Christian Believers,and you will never have any problem with the Law as
you will only Pay $1500 .00 to the company for the demurrages this
fund has accumulated to enable the easy and fastest transfer to you in any
account of your choise any part of the world,.

I want you and the believers / community where you reside to always pray for
me. My happiness is that I lived a true devoted life worthy of emulation.
Whosoever, that wants to serve God must serve him in truth and fairness.
