"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: MRS.JOY.SAVEMBI


Dear Sir/Madam;

I am the above named person from ANGOLA. I am
married to Mr. ANTHONY .BALLY. SAVEMBI who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast 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 $35.Million (thirty five Million U.S. Dollars)in the security company here in Abidjan .

Presently,the fund is still with the security company .Recently, my Doctor told me that i have serious sickness which is cancer problem.

The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having
known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the way iam going to instruct herein.

I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagatin 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”. 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 effort to
be used by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way.

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 bossom 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 the development.

With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank here in Abidjan.

I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my 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 above e_mail address for more informations, any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for this same purpose.


Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated
herein. Hoping to receive your reply.

Remain blessed in the Lord.


Yours in Christ,


Mrs. JOY.Savembi
