"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!

My dear one who is suffering,

We have come up with some new research to help you in your suffering. If you will have your Medical Doctor contact us we will be furnishing the information and the funds to acquire them. It is a special formula and requires a very scientific approach.

The combination of R-CMP and SNOT.

R-CMP is actually short for R-cytidine monophosphate, and is actually a component of RNA, the nucleic acid which transcribes the genetic information from the DNA so that it can be translated into protein.

SNOT is the commonly used acronym for argininosuccinate synthetase, which is a chemical found in the brain. Tritiated tin hydroxide goes by the wonderful chemical formula of SnOT. David Ball, a chemist in Cleveland Ohio, was working on isotopomers of SnOH, and after tritiating it found he got SnOT. His paper concludes with the wonderful phrase "Since Wang et al did not use tritium substitution, we can state with certainty that there was no SnOT in their samples".

As my good friend, Reverend T. Horton, Church of the Holy Canine, always tells me:

Psalms 31:9 O' Lord have mercy on me in my anguish. My eyes are red from weeping;my health is broken from sorrow.

Now, just so you understand, I don't believe that all sickness is a direct result of sin in one's life. Bad things happen to good people for the purpose of punishment, for purification and for preparation. Our bodies along with the entire creation were adversely affected by the introduction of sin into the Garden of Eden by the self-willed choice of mankind. Some sickness (mental and physical) is a result of the nature decay and reduced entropy of the cosmos, but not nearly as much as modern man would like to believe. So we might well want to save ourselves a lot of money that is going to counselors and drugs, and just try the good old Biblical method of

* Personal accountability
* Confession of sin, repentance and restitution, and
* Godly living.

Respectfully yours,
