"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,

There comes a moment in the life of a man or woman when good news are all there is for a revival of the soul and body,such a moment has come for you today by reading my message without knowing each other, but you should understand that our bible tells us that our way is not his way.

According to the book of "Mark 10:21" Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.I am Mrs Kate Dona the wife of late Senator Fred Dona, we were married for forty two years without a child.He died after a brief illness that lasted for only two weeks, before his death, we were a happy Christian family. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of USD $5.4 Million (Five Million,four hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) in a bank account,this money is still with the Bank.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I have serious sickness which is Cardiac problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness having known my condition I decided to entrust this fund to your hand as to enable you utilize this fund according to God's direction because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity upon vanity. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this fund and I want you to use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.Zechariah 7:8-10 And the word of the LORD came again to Zechariah: "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor.In your hearts do not think evil of each other. The Bible made us to know that Blessed is the hand that giveth.

Please always be prayerful all through your life. Please do give urgent response to this mail without any delay.Hoping to get your positive response.

Yours Sister in Christ.
Mrs. Kate Dona.
