"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!

This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down.

- "god fearing " (scammers in West Africa like to use religious phrases)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

Dear Please use this money for the Churches and Less Privileged in the world

Greetings to you and your family in the name of God, in my search for a reliable and God fearing person and having gotten your contact through prayers and

pains taking efforts via searching I made on the internet on my bed side. Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for Esophagi

Cancer.Though it's a sad and long story but I will cut it short for you're quick and easy understanding. I am (MRS) Esther Gabar widow to Late Mr.Henry Gabar,former Defense attaches to Benin Embassy in Greece. My husband was murdered alongside our only son Elvis by those who are envious of his position in the same office.

Before his death he made a vow to use his wealth for the down trodden, orphanages and the less privileged in the society. Having known my condition I decided

to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here. I want an

individual that will use this fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and widows and for the propagating peace, less privileges.
I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not inclined to helping poor persons and I do

not want my husband's hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my late husband did not specify. I do not want a situation where this

money will be used in an ungodly manner.

What is required of you is your honesty, trust and sincerity. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another individual for this same

purpose. My lawyer will contcat you as soon as I hear from you.

MRS.Esther Gabar
