"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!

Dear Beloved in Lord,

In the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ you are anointed
and blessed. Walk in the path of righteousness and goodness
and mercy shall forever follow you all the days of your
life.

May the peace of the Lord be with you. My name is
Rev.Mary Ann Alisen; I am 79 years old now. I have
been suffering on the sick bed for the past 5 years. Now I
believe that my time has come to join my ancestors in
heaven. Through divine revelation, I got your email address
from the Internet, as the spirit of Almighty God directed me
to contact you for this charitable work. I have
$8,000,000.00 deposited in a safe location which I want you
to claim on my behalf for important charitable projects. I
choose to hand over this money to you for this charitable
works which l know you have the desire for people in need.
The money was as a result of philanthropic donations made to
me a couple of years back.

I hope you will honestly do this for me, if yes please
forward to me your particulars and your contact information
like private phone and fax numbers so that I will send it to
the Finance institution for release immediately.

Finally, I will like to know what you do for a living so
that I can be able to know if your work shall allow you to
handle this project that I am committing into your hand to
the glory of the Almighty God. Get back to me as soon as
possible.

Thank you and Remain blessed in the Lord.

With Paternal Love In The Lord

Rev.Mary Ann Alisen
