"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!

From: janegabriel@apropo.ro
Date: 13 Jul 2006 16:06:08 -0000
Subject: Hoping to hear from you.


From: Mrs. Jane Gabriel

Demark Lout Street,

93050 Kuching, Sarawak

Malaysia.



Dear friend,



I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment now. I

am married to Dr.Gabriel who worked with South Africa embassy in

Malaysia for nine years before he died in the year 2000.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 Christians. I decided not to

re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, which the Bible is

against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of

$27.6Million (twenty-seven Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one

finance/security company. 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 church or

Better see a Christian individual that will utilize this money the

way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church or individual that

will use this to fund churches, orphanages 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 giveth. I took this

decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money

and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's

hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want situation

where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason

for taking this bold 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, and because of

the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want

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

Finance/Security Company.



I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as

the original- beneficiary of this fund. 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 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 sourcing for a church or

Christian individual for this same purpose.



Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.



Hoping to hear from you.



Remain blessed in the name of the Lord,



Mrs. Jane Gabriel
