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.

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

• An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
• The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
  • "a security company " (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. )
  • "million dollars" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
  • "i will advice you " (this email uses bad English)
  • "remain blessed" (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
• This email message is a next of kin scam.
• This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

diagnosed of this ailment, the doctor says i have a short time to live

will to have you as his servant .
I have contacted you as someone that can be trusted to use my fund for
the lords purpose and his children.
After i lost my Husband and my only daughter, i sold all my property
and kept the funds i realised from it in a security company for safe
keeping.
During this period i prayed to the lord and he revealed to me that i
should seek an individual who will use this funds to glorify his name and
he also revealed to me that i will find the person in a miraculous
way.
when i got your contact the spirit revealed to me that you are the one

But knowing that if anything happens to me this wealth will be
impounded by the security company.
After i prayed about the whole issue and cried for so long he gave me a
vision of faith in my dream and when i woke up i had my bible by my
side opened to Leviticus 5:15 : which says "If any one commits a breach of
faith and sins unwittingly in any of the holy things of the LORD or
defy the lord's command , he shall bring, as his guilt offering to the
LORD a ram without blemish out of the flock, valued by you in shekels of
silver,

according to the shekel of the sanctuary; it is a guilt offering.
i prayed to the LORD to put me through to the right path, Who then led
me to you in a miraculous way.
I have contacted you to assist in using my wealth for the development
of his kingdom work,Donate to the motherless baby home and to the less
privilledge and your own personal need, i want us to act fast and have
this funds out of the security company before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the Security Company.
I seek your consent to present you as my next of kin .so that the
proceeds of this consignment valued at 8.5 million dollars be paid to you
for the lords purpose and then you can use the money to glorify the
lord.I have all necessary informations that can be used to back up any claim
we may make.

All I require is your honest co-operation to see us through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
Faith,Honesty and Trust is our watch word,i will advice you to be
secretive till the money is in your possesion.

are really interested in making the lords will for his children come to
reality.You can also reply to my private email address...... (
