"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!

Dear Brother in GOD,
Greetings to you in the sacred name of our Heavenly
father GOD,
I wrote a letter but I dint get any letter from you.
Iam waiting for your letter in Yahweh’s name.

In the last month we celebrated the feast of
tabernacles.
We brought loan and celebrated these festivals.
We are very poor people.
We are suffering with tsunami, heavy rainfalls and
floods.

Due to lack of Food and hunger all of our kids are
begging in the streets and collecting spoiled food
stuff from the dustbins.
Due to eating of spoiled food kids have been attacked
with various diseases and sicknesses.
Kids are suffering with lack of medicines and medical
treatment.

Our Government is not helping us in any way because we
are the believers of CHURCH OF GOD,
But still we dint give up our hope and trust in GOD
because we
know that CHURCH OF GOD would help us through
you Brother.

In these floods many of our GOD believers have
died and for burial service we brought debt and done
the burial service .So please pray for me because all
the debtors are stressing me to repay them .Kindly
help us and show us the way to get rid of all these
financial problems .

Brother send us money so that it will be used for
Orphan children food ,medicines and for flood victims
and also we’ll buy old clothes and distribute to the
poor and Orphan children and also for poor people who
lost their clothes in flood.

And also Brother with the money you will send we’ll
buy rice and distribute to the poor and flood victims
...Those photos we’ll be send you.

SANAMANDA MOSHE.

Kindly support and encourage the CHURCH OF GOD,s
believers till we stand on our own with out depending
on anyone else.
I request you to send the remaind pices of your food
after you ate, if you can send to us here many yahweh
poor children can live by your support.
you must kindly send the support in helping this poor
people who are suffering with hunger and dieing
without food..
The government of our country doesn't help the GOD
people and it is you the assembly to help us to come
outof the hunger.

Not only food and clothes all our believers need a
CHURCH OF GOD , hall because our assembly had been collapsed
in flood.
Here Government will not help the GOD’s believers
they always overlook us.
They consider us untouchabilities.and also they will
not provide ant job opportunities
also.
YOUR IN HIM.
S.MOSHE
