"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

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 "dying widow" scam.

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Name: Mrs.Laura Luis origin of the Republic of Qatar the widow of late Mayor Morgan, I'm 74 year old. I am a Christian convert, suffering from prolonged cancer of the breast, from all medical indications my condition has really deteriorated and it's pretty obvious that i may not live for more than six months.

Our long years of marriage was not blessed with any children. My husband was very wealthy.After his death I inherited all his business and funds. My doctor has diagnosed and told me privately what i should expect, building my spirit for the inevitable .He says i may not last for more than six months,based on this i have taken the decision to share part of my fund to be used in work activities as liberation, aid to families of pastors, Orphanages, less privileged in society and the Christian Schools, the poor in their midst and to maintenance of churches and to spread the word of God and and victims of HIV/AIDS.

I am willing to donate the sum of $7.700,000USD.Please note that this fund is deposited in a bank.

The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that gives." I am not afraid of death hence I know where I'm going. I know I'll be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14:14 says, "The Lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and my late husband relatives, all our communication will be via mail.

I shall be awaiting for your response.
A messages of Righteousness,Deliverance,Healing.
Regards,
Mrs.Laura Luis
