"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "a security company " (this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way. )
- "million us dollars" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,I am former Mrs Azizah Humaru Alihu from QATAR, now Mrs Elizabeth Delna,am now a new Christian convert,suffering from long time cancer of the lungs. 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 state .My Husband and our only Son was assasinated in a cold blood on the 15th of October 2010.Well my late Husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth ,and now that i am very sick and my only Son is died.

And my personal physician told me that i may not live for more than six months due to the fact that the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe stage i don't believe Him, but i am so scared about this, well i know our Lord Almighty is in full control of my life. So, i now decieded to divide part of our 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 recently relocated to Israel,Where i live presently.

I selected you to assist me take care of this mission, and i have prayed over it.So now i am willing to donate the total sum of $12 .5 Million US Dollars to 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 Mission.

Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of using this funds for personal use other than enhancement of Evangelism. Lastly, i want you/your Ministry to be praying for me 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.
