"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!

Abidjan Cote D´Ivoire,
West Africa.

Dear Good Friend .
I am Mrs. Gloria U. Krisha from Ivory Coast. I am
married to Mr. Lobi U Krishna who worked with our Embassy
in France 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 lasted for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since
his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside
my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my
late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $850,00.000
with a Bank here in Cote D lvoire. Presently this money is
still in the custody of the Bank.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the
next eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my
condition I decided to donate this fund to a
church,organization or good person that will utilize
this money the way I am going to instruct herein.

I want a church,organization or good person that will use
this fund for orphanages, widows and for other peoples
that needs help and also propagating the word of God and
to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that"Blessed is the hand
that giveth". l took this decision because I don't have
any child that will inherit this money and my husband
relatives are not Christians not even good at all because
they are the one that responsible for the death of my
husband in other to have all my late husband prperties and
I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by those that
conspired for his death.

This is why I am taking this 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.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 hence the presence of my husband's
relatives around me always. I don't want them to know
about this development and I know that With God all things
are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the
contact of the lawyer that will asist us in this project.
I will also issue a letter of authorization to the bank
that will prove you the present beneficiary of this money.

I also want you,church or the organization to always pray
for me because the lord is my only shephard.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.

Contact me on the this email address and any delay in your
reply will give me room in sourcing another good person,
church,organization for this same purpose.Please assure me
that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.

Hoping to receive your response immedaitely.

Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.
l remain yours sister in Christ.

Mrs Gloria U. Krishna
