"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: please help me


God will grant you the willingness and interest to digest this humble

narrations, though it might be a surprise and a bit strange to believe my

story, but I know by the grace of the Almighty you will humbly

understand and accept to proceed with my proposal though we have not

met before.

My story is very sad but with God everything is possible. I believe

you will give it a second thought to assist me achieve my aim and

God will give you the strength and understanding. May the peace of the

Lord be unto you.

My name is Justino Abacher the only son of the late Rev. Freddy

Abacher, who was a competent business man. I am 20 years old

presently, I am in the United Nation control Refugees Camp due to the

political war in my country. It gladdens my heart to say that my late

father lived a life worthy of a true Christian. Before his sudden
death he had this plan

which he pleaded with me to ensure it’s accomplishment. He made me
promise to use this fund in building an orphanage in his name to
accommodate thousands of children, and also to use part of

the fund for my education, helping the less fortunate and to spread

the gospel to remote places in the world. He was focusing on these
areas, Grenada, South Korea and Haiti.

My mother died with my junior sister in an accident when I was 10

years old, we were all together when it happened but my father and I had

survived. My father never remarried any woman because of how much he
loved my mother and the

vow he took on their wedding altar.

Before his demise, he saved at about ($9.7m) Nine point Seven Million
dollars and 200kg of Gold Dust, to access it, I would need your
assistance base on the contract bond agreement between my late Father
and the Finance Security Company. Also, my Father intended to build
another Orphanage Home in Haiti before his sudden death.



Knowing all this, I decided to seek for a competent, reliable and
God-fearing person or Ministry who will help me fulfill my father’s
dream because I made him a promise that I would.

The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that give".




I made this decision because I don't have any brother or sister, I’m
alone in this entire world and life seems to be so bitter for me

now. I was entitled to inherit everything including his money, my late

father’s relatives are not Christians so I don't want my father’s

efforts to be used by unbelievers.

As soon as I receive reply I will give you the relevant documents that

will legalize you to have access over this fund. I will also issue you

an affidavit that will prove you to be the present beneficiary of this fund

in the Finance Security Company. I want you and the church to always

pray for me because the lord is my shepherd.



As soon as I hear from you, I will forward you all the Legal Documents

and the contact details of my late Father’s Attorney.

It delights me to know that my late father lived a life of a worthy

Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in

spirit and Truth.



Please always be prayerful all through your life and pray to God to be

with me, lead me through shadows of valleys any delay in your reply
will give me room in sourcing for another church or a God-fearing
person for the same purpose, please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply. God
bless you.
