"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!

Hello,













Dear, I have already sent you this message concerning the project for
charity that i want your help to carry out in your country but i have
not have your reply to know your willingness or acceptance to bear the
responsibility for God.













I am the above name person from Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. I am
married to Mr. Mohd Faruk Sabri who worked with Malaysia Oil firm for 14
years before he died in the year December, 2004 from Tsunami
Earthquake: Read the news from the webs (






http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake  OR






http://library.buffalo.edu/asl/guides/indian-ocean-disaster.html )






We were married for eighteen years without a child. Before his death we
were both born again Christians and we lived happily. Since before his
death, I decided not to re-marry. When my late husband was alive he
secured $4.800 000 00 dollars (Four Million Eight Hundred Thousand U.S.
Dollars) with a financial institution. Presently, this money is still






with the financial institution here in Malaysia.













I was having a cancer disease but after the death of my husband, this
was lead to my stroke. Recently, my Doctor told me that from all the
test conducted on my health, I am not going to last long, especially,
due to my cancer and stroke. But what disturbs me most now is stroke.
Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to churches






or Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going
to instruct. I want a church or individual that will use this money to
fund churches, Orphanages and Widows. Also, the propagation of the work
of God, building and maintaining the house of God through this money, is
very important. The Bible made us to 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 relatives are
not Christians. I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be
misused by unbelievers for their own selfish interest and in an






ungodly manner.






I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am
going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 Verse 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 sometimes, but if there is urgent need for that we shall
communicate. I don't want them to know about this development, but I
know that with God all things are possible.













As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
financial institution and i will also give you all information regarding
the deposit of this money. I will also issue you a letter of authority
that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want
you and your church to always pray for me because God work in mysterious
ways. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Who
ever 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 individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that
you will act accordingly as I stated herein.













I will give you the contact information of my lawyer so he can prepare
the necessary Legal documents that will empower you as the original-
beneficiary of this fund as i have spoken with him to intimate him of my
intentions. I hope you are God fearing and will use this money for the
betterment of the less-privileged in our world.













Hoping to hear from you soon and remain blessed in the name of the Lord.






Yours in Christ,






Mrs. Khatijah Nova Sabri
