"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: ONLY OUR LORD CAN SAVE!

Dear Brother/Sister's in Lord Christ Jesus.

Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,I am former Mrs
aliza Wasilat ali rasaq,now Mrs Mary Khalid,a widow to Late ali rasaq
Mohammed,I am 72years old,I am now a new Christian convert,suffering
from long time cancer of the breast. From all indications, my condition
is
really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not live more than
six months, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage.
My late husband was killed during the Gulf war, and during the
period of ourmarriage we had a son who was also killed in a cold
blood during the Gulf war.My late husband was very wealthy and after
his death,I inherited all his business and wealth. My personal
physician told me that I may not live for more than six months and I
am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide part of this
wealth, by contributing to the development of evangelism in Africa,
America, Europe and Asian Countries. This mission which will no
doubt be tasking had made me to recenlty relocated to Israel,where I
live presently. I selected your church after visiting the website
for this purpose and prayed over it,I am willing to donate the sum
of $2.500,000.00 Million US Dollars to your Church/Ministry for the
development of evangelism and also as aids for the less privileged
around you.Please note that, this fund is lying in a Security
Company in Europe and the company has branches, therefore my lawyer
will file an immediate application for the transfer of the money in
the name of your ministry. Please, do not reply me if you have the
intention of using this fund for personal use other than enhancement
of evangelism.Lastly, I want you/your ministry to be praying for me
as regards my entire life and my health because I have come to find
out since my spiritual birth lately that wealth acquisition without
Jesus Christ in one's life is vanity upon vanity. If you have to die
says the keep fit and i will give you the crown of life. May the
Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you. If your are interested do
reach my Attorney he lives in Paris, France.

Yours in Christ,
