"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!

Beloved God bless you

Hello My Dear,
I am Evangelist Chantal Lobel the wife of late Engineer McAnthony Lobel We have been married for years before his sudden death although we were childless. I have been diagnosed with cancer and I have been battling with the sickness when my late lovely husband was alive.

It has It defied all forms of medical treatments, and right now, I have only about a few months to live and I want to donate to you all the funds(USD$3 Million only) that I inherited from my late husband before I die so that you can assist me to utilize it for Charity/Humanitarian work to help the less privileges like orphans,widows and poor people affected by war in Asia, Africa and Arab countries.

If you accept my request, you will benefit 15% of total of the above funds but you must not discriminate against Muslims and people of other faiths when assisting the needy.

I will give you more details about me and how I inherited all as soon as I receive your reply because I do not want to state all here until I see your reply, desire and commitment. Please can you treat this as confidential and keep it as a secret for security reasons between both of us?

My Best Regards,
Mrs Chantal Lobel
