"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!

My Dear


Good day to you and your family. I apologize if the content here-under
are contrary to your moral ethics but please treat with absolute
secrecy and personal.E-mail: rose87jamse@gmail.com


My name is Rose Jamse .from Switzerland, I have a tumor in my brain and
i am dying.
My husband left to me his entire savings and i have decided to donate
it to charity. I am 52 years old now and about 2 years ago, shortly
after my husbands death i was diagnosed with cancer before we moved to
Benin Republic 20 years ago. however i haven't found anyone i could
trust. And now, since I 'm sick, I see in the eyes of my alleged
friends, how are they waiting for my death so that they can share my
husband $2,800,000.00 million among themselves but I will not allow that to
happen even if it's the last thing I will do.


When i die the only surviving heir of the whole money is my stepson,
but he was never grateful to his father and even was violent. He has
terrorized us all throughout these years besides, he is not a good
person, someone who runs a brothel can not be a good person. You may
be wondering why I chose you. But someone has to do it for me, because
I can no longer wait even with the best of intentions.


It is my desire that 70 % of the money would be donated to cancer
research as soon as the money reaches you successfully. but my step
son shouldn't know about it. The remaining 30% you can keep it for
your efforts. I was touched by the Lord and His love opened my heart
and my eyes. I have asked the Lord to forgive all my sins, and I think
he did it because he is merciful. I have a surgery in two weeks and
the doctor has assured me a 50/ 50 chance to survive. This is my last
attempt to preserve the hard-earned money from my husband before a
further abuse by his son. Apart from that, he does not even need it.
At the moment I can not perform telephone calls, due to the fact that
my friend is worried and always around me and also the doctor does not
allow me to use a cell phone. I 've got a chance to write this message
with the help of my nurse, who showed me an internet cafe? around
here. Yesterday our family lawyer came. Luckily no one else was here
so I
could initiate him peacefully with my project .


He assured me that he will prepare everything for the transaction and
the change of my last will. Actually, I should not keep it as a
secret, but I will only because such amount of money can make people
fight over it and for that i don't want anyone to know. If you are
convinced that you could help me with in this matter , then please
respond as quickly as possible. I do not know how much time I have
left. In all cases , I wish that you could use the love of the Lord in
your life, and he shall guide and knowledge you. E-mail: rose87jamse@gmail.com


God be with you love greetings.

Mrs Rose Jamse
