"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: OFFER FROM MY HEART

Hello, my offers is real and not scam, so accept it in open mind as I have no bad plans but was in desperate to see that my wish and desire are fulfilled to the glory of God. My name is Amand Muzazah a citizen of Trinidad & Tobago but living in Abidjan- Cote DIvoire. I am a former Mistress to
Mr.Lavai Avidar, an Israeli and international Diamond Merchants who lived in Abidjan-Cote D'Ivoire here before his death on June last Year.

I was very surprised on 3rd of August this year when his attorney came to me and informed me that from the Will of my late Lover Mr. Lavai Avidar that I am entitled to the sum of Eight Million United State Dollars that is deposited in one of the top financial institute here in Abidjan, I never
expected such gift in my life, but I don't know why God do it.

Now I am in sick bed and my health condition will not allow me to enjoy or invest this money, I am living on kidney transplanting for a long time and the other kidney is bad now, but what disturbs me most is that recently my doctor told me that I have cancer of the lungs that was caused by heavy
smoking and drinking, he told me that with my bad kidneys and lung's cancer that my days to live are numbered, that I may not leave for the next 2-months.

I asked him if there will be any cure to my health condition and he said NO, I have think back my past life and saw my present health condition as a punishment from above may be as a result of my bad past lives, so I decided to seek the face of God now that I am still breathing by donate out this
Eight Million United State Dollars that was Willed to me by my late Lover for charity welfares. I needed a good church or individual that will utilize this money the way I will just mention below:

You will keep 15% of the total money for yourself and you MUST use the remaining in

1. Building and orphanages in any country of your choice in my name and memory.

2. Propagating the word of God and helping the widows, sick, churches and orphans.

3. Build child maternity/ hospital in memory of late Mr. Lavai Avidar.


The above is the 3 major things I want you to do with the money when released to you, so please search your mind and conscience very well and make sure that you will do the above before replying me again.

Once I get reply back from you assuring me that you will fulfil the mentioned above I will give you the necessary information you need to know and direct you to late Mr. Lavai Avidar's lawyer who will change the beneficiary of the Will in favour of you and will authorized the bank to release the
money to you as the new beneficiary.

Please always pray for me to God for mercy and forgiveness.

I have one question for you now, how will you feel if you where told that you will not live up to 2months on this earth and die???



Your Truly


Amanda Muzazah
