"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!

Subject: Donation For Charity, From Mrs. Rose Deniel Rajis


My Dear In The Lord,

I am Mrs. Rose Deniel Rajis, from France, I
am married to Mr. Deniel Rajis, who worked with our France Embassy here
in Benin Republic in West Africa, for nine years he unfortunately died
in this recent war out break in Benin Republic. He was a victim of the
rebel's attack in his office. We were married for eleven years without a
child.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
Four Million, Five hundred thousand United State Dollars. USD
( $4.500,000. 00 ) In a Bank here Benin Republic. Presently, this money is
still with the Bank. Recently, My Doctor told me that I would not last
for the next Eight months due to my cancer problem. Having known my
condition (cancer of the lever and stroke) I am 52 years Old Woman.

I
decided to donate this fund to an faithful person that will utilize
this fund the way I am going to instruct herein. I want somebody that
will use this fund according to my Late husbands dream to help the
orphanages, widows,propagating the good news of God and to buds the
house of God is maintained and to help less-privileged people in our
World.

The word of God made us to know that Blessed is the hand
that give. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will
inherit this money and my husband relatives are not God fearing people I
don't want my husband's efforts to be used against his will.

I
don't want in away where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This
is why I am taking this decision to hand you over this Fund. I am not
afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to
be in the hand of God, because he says in the in his word that he is
going to fight my battle and I shall hold my peace.

I don't need
any telephone communication in this regards because of my health hence
the presence of my husband relatives around me always.I want you and
your Family always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy . Whoever that Wants to
serve God must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful
all through your life.
