"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: CHRIST return is imminent."Reject-666"When we leave at the Rapture,we"ll leave money behind.













CHRIST JESUS asked?.For what is man profited"U and I" if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? or whatshall a man give inexchange for his soul?(read-Math-16-26-27).Faith and hopes of many are built on faulty foundation.The ancient world had many different devices for determining the future,known as divination,but not in the entire gamut of greek and latin literature,even though they used the words prophet and prophecy,can we find any real specific prophecy of a saviour to arrive in human race.....Mohammedanism cannot point to any prophecies of the coming of Mohammed uttered hundreds of year before his birth.neither can the founders of any satan's inspires religions like Buddhist,Hindus or Baha'u'llah or Wicca  Occultic Domination  in the world rightly identify any ancient text specifically foretelling their FOUNDERS appearance.Reply for more message.
 
WHAN SHALL WE OBTAIN THIS PROMISED IMMORTALITY? the inspired apostle answers,we Shall not all die,but we shall all be changed in a moment.in the twinkling of an eye,at the last Trumpet,for the trumpet shall sound and the dead in Christ shall raised incorrupible.and we shall be Change for this corruptible must put on incorruptible,and this mortal must put on immortality.than Shall be brought to pass the saying that is written.death is swallowed up in victory.o death were is Thy siting o grave where is thy victory.(read-1-Cor-15-51-55).Reject 666"(read-Bible-Revelation-13-8-18) 9,Says He who has an ear,let him hear.

 
 
Dear Beloved Friend,
 
How are you? I think God for your life.Tell those who put their trust in riches have reason to lament. they will discover that their wealth is just temporal.their perishable foodstuffs will spoil and their expensive garment will be ravaged by moths.Hoarding material possessions cannot preserve them,we all shall lose them anyway.Jesus Christ warned  His followers "You and I"(Matt-6-19).The rich place their confidence and security in their possessions.They spend their entire life acquiring things that are essentially worthless. Jesus warned of the same lifestyle  and encouraged us to invest in eternal treasures. Jesus Christ said to them, watchout be on your guard against all kinds of greed a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.(read-luke 12-13-21)
 
Refuse to be deceived. untill you are deceived you can not be destroyed,everyone who disregards this simple gospel is set to live a difficult life.the bible says satan has blinded the minds of them which believe not,satan the devil blinds people's minds, to rob them of their glory in JESUS CHRIST(read-.2-cor-4-4).
 
Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD IS GOD in heaven above and on the earth below there is no other, be careful that you do not forget the LORD YOUR GOD.but remember the Lord your GOD, for it is he who gives you the ablity to produce weailth.(read-Det-4-39) .(read-James-5-1-6) Scripture to memorize (read-1-Timo-6-9) James regarded it  foolish in his lifetime to lust for more wealth and possessions,knowing the Lord's return is  imminent.it is equally foolish to day,because His coming is still imminent-it could happen today!When we leave at the Rapture,we will leave all our money and possessions behind.Only what we have invested in souls will last throughout eternity.
 
 
The reword of toil of the years,the riches of the prosperous,cannot redeem the soul and give eternal life.for the redemption of their soul is precious,psalm-49-6-8.riches,money given to church or given to the poor or given to some charity organisations cannot pay the ransom price for the soul,since the soul is more valuable than all the world put together.
 
We Christ follower can practice fraud by refusing to help people who are less fortunate- perhaps a poor family ao individuals in the church.Maybe a missionary cannot go to the field because we withhold financial support that we can afford. The very problme my inter-net ministry is going through for years.Not only my ministry,missionary on foreign soil labors under difficulties because of insufficient funds.Are we guilty of stuffing our bank accounts while our brothers and sisters in the Lord are suffering financial need? Warning about money HELP THE PERSECUTED CHURCH AND THE MINISTRIES OF SPREADING GOSPEL AMONG MUSLIMS AND HINDUS.HELP THE INFANTS AND OTHER CHILDREN OF THE ORPHANAGES. (View pictures of the orphanages: http://salemvoice.org/childcare1.html) Yours in the love of Christ Jesus our Lord.

James warned the rich that their wealth had become valueless because of the way they acquired and failed to use it.He denounced their misuse of opportunity,people and money.Divine judgment will certainly fall upon them.John wesley could have similarly attested to power of denying the temptation to love money.He wrote" I fling money out of my hand as quickly as possible,lest it find its way to my heart"He dead almost penniless,but contented,for his trasures were laid up in heaven.in contrast,Andrew carnegie,made this observation,Millionaires who laugh are rare.James addressed the issue of hoarding what can't be kept while other suffer great need: such will have little cause to laugh.(read-James-5-1-6) Scripture to memorize 1-Timo-6-9.
 
The words of James,though ought to keep us on guard against embracing the materialistic philosophy of our generation.Satan can keep Christians so busy thinking how wonderful it would be to be a millionaire that they forget that their weekly paycheck belongs to the Lord.the question is not"what would you do if you had a lot of money?Rather it is"what do you do with the money you now have?

 
Wise stewardship involves supporting the Lord's work cheerfully an faitfully.Food for thought"in the world,it is not what you take up,but what you give up,that makes us rich.
 
It is conforting to kown that the injustices and convetousness of the greedy do not go unnoticed by God.To be sure,the Lord is not opposed to the rich,nor does he condemn riches per se,but He does condemn sinful attitudes and actions frequently associated with riches.James wrote to express God's displeasure with those whose corrupt them.
 
James urged rich people to think seriously about future judgment.No doubt,divine judgment and financial loss were the last things the rich wanted to think about,but they needed to be called into account.James reminded both saved and unsaved rich that no amount of earthly wealth is eternal.Money cannot win God's favor or buy eternal life.
 
I pray that unfailing love of our LORD JESUS CHRIST BE YOUR PORTION.and he will preserve your life and your loved once in his righteousness Aman.

 
Bless you! Have you ever asked Jesus to come in to your life?or you are not sure you are save, if your answer is no.Pray this prayer with sincerity and confidence.LORD JESUS,I come to you today.I am a sinner,I can NOT help myself,forgive me my sins.cleanse me with your  blood,deliver me From sin and satan,to serve the living GOD.today,LORD I accept  you as my LORD, And my personal saviour.thank you JESUS,for saving me.


 
My preaching is not with wise and persuasive words,but a demonstration of the spirit power.so that Your faith might not rest on man's wisdom but on God power.JESUS CHRIST pray for all belivers,He Said my prayer is not for them alone.I pray also for those who will belive in me through their Message.(read-john-16-20).
 
BE BLESS IN NAME OF THE FATHER THE SON AND HOLY SPIRIT  AMAN.

How can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit?even if you plant the tree in the church yard.(read-matt-7-17-29).
 
Holiness is the beauty of JESUS CHRIST made manifest in Christians and through Christians. A holy person is a blessed person. A holy family is a blessed family. A holy society is a blessed society. A holy generation is a blessed generation.The gospel is message of love from GOD,message of repentance,of holiness,and of turning from your sins,of getting right with HOLY GOD OF Israel.is not a message for the cowardly or the compromised.but it is a message for the serious and sold-out,a message that restores and transforms life.a message that has been lifted high in every generation where the Holy Spirit has moved.
