"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!

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
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. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Subject: MY KIND OFFER.

Dear Good One,

I have gone through your profile and have decided to contact you for

this special assistance.I am Mrs. Sabrina Marshall from Ukraine but
presently in the hospital for a cancer operation. I married to late
Mr David Marshall,who was the ambassador of ukraine in Ivory Coast. We
were posted to Ivory Coast for 12yrs mission in Ivory Coast, but it
was unfortunate that my late husband passed away without returning
back to our country alive. Due to I have engaged myself in the work of
the lord in this country; decided to return back to continue the
fellowship of the lord by helping the charities organization,
basically the poor. I have a donation to make which I will need your
assistance to carry it out for me, I will be 60 years old this coming
december 17, am a widow and a servant of the Lord for the past 31
years in Ivory Coast, Africa.

I inherited some money ($41.5million) from my late husband; I want to
give it out to Orphanage and Charity Organizations as a vow, which I
made before the Lord.\I have a lung and breast cancer and will be
going for my third operation next two weeks, though the doctor have
already confirmed that I will only last for some months but I am happy
and glad that the Lord has kept me safe and guided me to accomplish my
mission on earth. I will be happy to meet Him where He wants me to be.
This is the favour I need when you have gotten the money: - Give 70%
of the money to Charity organizations, orphanage homes and Churches on
my name so that my soul may rest in peace,The remaining 30% should be
for you and others that you would love to assist.

May God bless you and use you to accomplish my wish.

Send your reply to my private email: uncolonized@yahoo.com

Pray for me always.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Sabrina Marshall
