"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!

GIFT FROM MRS GLORIA MOSES

I am Mrs Gloria Moses from Kuwait. I married to Mr Gideon moses who =20
worked with
Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died last year.We wer=
e
married for nineteen years without a child. He died after a brief illness th=
at
lasted for only fourdays.
Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimoni=
al
home.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$8.5million
dollars i a Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.Presently, this money =20
is still in
the bank of africa. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for th=
e
next Eight months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most =20
is my stroke
sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a
person or organsation that will utilize this money the way
I am going to instruct herein.

I want this fund to be use for orphanages, widows,schools, hospitals, and
propagating the message of love to all mankind.I took this decision because =
I
don't have any child that will inherit this money, I want God to be
merciful to me and accept my soul.

My husband relatives are selfish,they refuse to distribute to charity
organization some amount of money which my late husband gave to them
for charity on the second day of his illness,I don't want a situation where
thismoney 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 God will fight my case and I shall hold
my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard =20
because of my
health hence the presence of my husband's 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
Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. I will also issue you an authority =20
letter that
will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pr=
ay
for me. My
happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always be
prayerful all through your life.

Contact me on the this e mail address e mail address
gloria_moses1@marafiki.com
any delay in your reply will give me room in searching for another person or
organsation for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act
