"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: Re: Odp: Pray for me

Peace of the Lord be with you

My name is Mrs Kristina Kühn from Finland. But now undergoing medical treatment in India. I am married to Dr. Werner Kühn who worked With Finland Embassy in the UK for 15 years before he died on December 20th 2022. We were married for eleven years without a child.

Dr. Werner, my husband, was poisoned by his relative after a family got together because they wished to inherit all his properties.

During our life together as couples we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a Child outside my matrimonial home, which the Bible is against.

In 2015 my husband deposited the sum of £9.5Million (Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand British Pound Sterling) with ANZ Bank London United Kingdom.

Over 2 months now I have been battling with Cancer and my chemotherapy treatment is not responding, So my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next one-month due to damaged cells. Having known my condition I decided to donate this Fund to a God-fearing Christian that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here.

I want a church or individual that will use this fund for a Non-Governmental Foundation, orphanages, old people's home and to propagate the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us understand that blessed is the hand that gives. I took this decision because I don't have any child That will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard-earned money to be misused by selfish relatives, Hence the reason for taking this bold Decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. Furthermore, I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone Communication in this regard because of my health, and Because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me at all times.

I do not want them to know about this Development. As soon As I receive your reply I shall give you the contact Of my lawyer who will help you effect the changes to your name as the original-beneficiary of this fund.

I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived the 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. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or Christian organization for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you.

Thanks and God bless you.
Mrs Kristina Kühn
