"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: News hello .

I'm 68 years old woman suffering from prolonged cancer of the breast, from
all medical indications my condition has really deteriorated and it's
obvious that i may not live for more than six months owning to the rapid
growth and pain that accrues to it. My husband died few years back and our
long years of marriage were not blessed with any child, after his death I
inherited all his wealth.

I come to you after prayed over it, I am willing to donate the sum of $3,
200, 000 for your work to help the poor, needy,and less privileged among
your congregations/society. Please note that this fund is deposited in a
bank where my husband worked. I will appreciate if you will give attention
to my request for propagating of the kingdom massage, i will provide you
with more details on how to proceed.

The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I
took this decision because I donâ€™t have any child that will inherit this
money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I donâ€™t want my
husbandâ€™s efforts to be used by unbelievers. I donâ€™t want a situation where
this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this
decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know
that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that
the lord will fight my battle and I shall hold my peace.
