"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!

 Greetings to you and the whole church in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ , amen.

beloved I 'm Mrs. Amichia faustine Assana , I am married to Late Mr. Goodluck Assana who converted me to become a christian and married me aswell , he worked with Kuwait embassy here in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in 2002 . We were married for 19 years without a child before he died after a brief illness that lasted few weeks .

Before the death of my husband, we were both born again Christian and after his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against . Belove when my late husband was alife, he deposited the sum of ($ 3.5 million ) in one of the major banks here , now , due to my illness , I have to reallocate the money within the security Red Cross company because of my illness and because banks always fail here due to political crisis.

my dear after my last checkup las week, my doctor told me in a good manner , that I have a serious cancer disease and  what bothers me most is my stroke sickness, having known my present condition yet, I have decided to donate out this fund to help the poor ones and the aged parents who dont have helping hands.
my desire  over fund is to take care of orphanages , elderly and needy widows , the disabled ones and to spread the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is been fully
maintained according to Malachai chapter 3 vers 10

beloved my Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth, I took this decision because we did not have any child that will inherit this wealth and my husband relatives are not Christians and I do not want my husband 's efforts to be used by unbelievers likely he warned me before his death . I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way , this is why I make this decision today after the doctor told me that i will b e travelling to india for my surgery. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I'm going . I know I will be in the bosom of the Lord , because I know the kind of life I lived here on earth .

beloved according to Exodus 14 vs 14 , that the Lord will fight my case and I will be silent . Here is the phone number and email of nurse cicie +22 556427442 and her email is cicie1_1@yahoo.com, the nurse cicie will direct and help you recieve this donation and i will like you to communicate with her, if possible today because i dont know the exact date we are travelling to india for the surgery


beloved I want this foundation to be between me and you and the nurse, because i am using this donation as a challenge to God, to heal me and change my condition as i have trusted in him all through my lifetime and i know he will not let me down, i am using you and the church as my Moses to speack to God and I will you waiting to hear from you today so that I will direct the nurse cicie about how to help you to receive this donation even in my absent , because no one can predict tomorrow but God alone .


my dear continue praying for me and other patient here in this hospital and May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abide with you all, now and forever more, Amen .

your sick sister
Mrs. Amichia Faustine
