"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!

Dearest in christ

My name is Mrs JESSICA MORIS a nationality of Kuwait.
I am married to late Mr. Moris james who worked with
Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he
died in the year 2001. We were married for twenty
years with a child. He died after a the illness that
lasted for long four days. Before his death we were
both born again Christians. When my late husband was
alive we deposited the sum of $9Million (Nine Million
U.S. Dollars) with one of good banks here in Cote
d'Ivoire .

Presently, this money is still with the bank. Recently
my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next
three months due to my cancer problem. Though what
disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my
condition I decided to donate this fund to church or
better still a Christian individual that will utilize
this money the way I am going to instruct here in.

I want a church that will use this fund to churches,
orphanages, research centres 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 have a child that will inherit this money
but my son can not carryout this work only because i
and my late husband decide to use some of the money to
work for God and live some for our son to have a
better live. our son is just 17yearold now and been
grow up in africa, he have low manterity and my
husband´s relatives are not Christians and I don´t
want my family hard earned money to be misused by
unbelievers. I don´t want a 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
to. 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 because of the presence of my family 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/bank. I will also issue you a
letter of authority that will empower you as the new
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 live 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 here.

Expecting to hearing from you. Remain blessed in the
name of the Lord.
