"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: JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD!!!

My Beloved in Christ,

The call to the Ministry by the Lord Jesus Christ to the Elects is one
daunting task that cannot be achieved in isolation. As believers heed this
call of translating sinners from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of
God-we must need the collective effort and support of our fellow brethren.

Matthew 28:18-20 is a scriptural soul-saving call that cannot be left in the
hands of one believer alone. There must be some sort of partnerships if this
task is to be realized. Besides, the Holy Spirit enabling us and Jesus
Christ being with us until the end of the age-believers all over the World
are called into the ministry of partnering with one another.

Peter could not have been able to lift up the basket full of fishes all by
himself. He beckoned to his partners in the other ships as the Bible
declared. Together then, they were able to lift up the basket full of
fishes. And so it is in our various and respective callings in the Vine Yard
of the Lord.

Eccl 4:9, 10, 12. “TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE; because they have a good reward
for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe
to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him
up. And if one prevails against him, two shall withstand him; And A
Threefold Cord Is Not Quickly Broken.

In sending forth His disciples, the Lord Jesus Christ established a
principle worthy of emulation. The bible declared that he sent them forth
two by two. A demonstration of the fact that partnership in ministry cannot
be over emphasized. Separate me Paul and Barnabas unto the Work whereunto I
have called them as commanded by the Holy Ghost is a classical example of
partnership.

And as we journey through this world, preaching, teaching, healing and
blessing the poor folks (physically and spiritually), WE NEED THE SUPPORT
AND AFFIRMATION OF OTHERS IN THE LORD. WE CANNOT DO IT ALL ALONE. My call
into the ministry is not some sort of preaching and taking the WORD to
villages, town and cities. As a victim of war-who has seen first hand the
devastating effect of wars- families separated, children killed, rapes and
all other vices, the Lord Has called me into the ministry of rescuing kids
whose parents they have lost during the war with no one to cater for them.
Amongst the kids in my custody are those kids who have narrowly escape
ABORTION but then were left to die under the scorching effects of heat and
cold.

These children are hopeless, fatherless, motherless, and above all left to
die. They were all picked from refuse and garbage dump. They are dying not
completely because of the lack of fathers, mothers, relatives and love-they
are dying for the lack of shelter, food, clothes and Medicare.

Could you and would you please be their sponsor. They are looking forward
each day to a day where someone from nowhere could just help them out. They
desire to see someone like Job come their way.

“Because I Delivered The Poor That Cried, And The Fatherless, And Him That
Had None to help him. I WAS EYES TO THE BLIND, AND FEET WAS I TO THE LAME. I
WAS A FATHER TO THE POOR……..” Job 29:12,15,16.

It’s emotionally crushing to have seen these kids (ages between 6 months to
5 years) die for the lack of nutrition and diseases. These were victims of
religious wars, and lack parents. Orphans they are with zero hope. It cost
about US$250 to cater for these 16 kids under my custody per month. We have
run out of food, clothes, diapers, custards and water.

I am therefore soliciting that any help should be given to them. They are a
gift and blessings from God and do need your support and help.

James 1:27 “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this,
To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself
unspotted from the world.”

“We then that are strong Ought To Bear The INFIRMITIES Of The Weak, and not
to please ourselves. Let Every One Of Us Please His Neighbour For His Good
To Edification. That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:1, 2, 6

I look forward to receiving from you on behalf of these children all that
you have to support them with.

In Christ’s Stead,
MRS. NAOMI JAMES IGBINEDION.
