"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 In Christ,

The time has come for Christians to worship God in spirit and in truth.
God
is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and
in
truth. Based on this scripture, it became obvious that I should do the
right thing if I must enter into the kingdom of God.

I am ,George Truslove.the legal adviser to late Mr.John & Marry
Ingemar, a
God fearing and dedicated couple. They were very wealthy but had no
child.
They travelled to Solomon Island for holiday but met death on the 2
April
2011

As their legal adviser, before their death, the husband Mr.John Ingemar
instructed me to write his WILL, because they had no child, he
dedicated
their wealth to God. They had a lot of landed properties houses
Stocks/bonds, etc. According to their instruction.

According to the WILL, their assets should be given out to a ministry
for
the work of God. As their legal adviser, all the documents for the fund
that are deposited with the Vault company are in my care.

As a born again Christian , I have been reading my bible and I have to
do
what is lawful and right in the sight of God by giving out the fund to
the
chosen ministry for the purpose of God's work as instructed by the
owners
before there death. After my fasting and prayers Today, I asked God to
make
his choice and direct me to an honest Christian or the chosen ministry
that
deserves this fund by his Grace. I then came across your address on the
Internet.I appeal to you to use the fund wisely for things that will
glorify the name of God.

I must say that I'm very uncomfortable sending this message to you
without
knowing truly if you would misconstrue the importance and decides to go
public. In this regards, I will not hold back to say that the essence
of
this message is strictly for Charity.May God bless you as you make up
your
mind to work for God.

Thanks.

Nancy & Deacon George Truslove.
