"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: Hello

Hello My Beloved in Christ Jesus,

Love Greetings to you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the
same yesterday, and today, and forever Hebrews 13:8.

Beloved, first i want to thank you for your love and the good work you
are doing for our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom have given us the ministry
and the word of reconciliation.

My name is Bro. John Nosahare. I am from Nigeria. I and some group of
born again Christian Brothers and Sisters have committed ourselves in
the Mission To Win Souls for Christ according to the Kingdom Mandate of
our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:19.

Inview of this, we are requesting your urgent support of 21 copies of
Large Print Bibles of any version and 4 KJV Study Bible for some of our
new converts who are highly in need to study the WORD.

Beloved, Please Remember "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave
the increase" 1 Corinthians 3:6. It is our prayers that our Lord Jesus
Christ will reward you in a thousand fold as you waters the work of our
Lord Jesus Christ.

We hope to hear from you again soon.

Yours in Christ,
John Nosahare
For Profiting the Kingdom Project.
