"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: My dear friends ,


My dear friends ,
 
Hello
to you My brethren in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am Mrs
Roseline Jema,  I was married to mr Steword Jema , who worked with
Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine long years before he died last
year . We have been married for 11 years without a child . My husband
died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his
death , we are born again Christians .
 
My dear , I know what you
're caught you receive this letter , but as a child of the living God ,
it would be necessary to know that our roads are not your ways . The
Bible tells me that it works in many ways and everything works for good
to those who believe in Jesus Christ. Child, is also the leader of the
Holy Spirit of God that I have chosen you in Enza obbedi and to satisfy
the desire with my late husband, to whom I gave my support to the glory
of God , I understand th love this grace is adaptive or a desire and
decision of my dead husband, and I am convinced do topical .
 
After
the death of my dear husband , I decided not to re- marry or get a
child outside my marital home which the Bible is against . When my
husband was living put $ the sum of U.S. $ 2,500,000 down (Two million
five hundred thousand dollars) in a bank here in Abidjan , Ivory cost .
Presently, this money is still in bank.

Recently, my doctor told
me that the cancer would not have lasted for nine months , because of my
problem. What bothers me most is my stroke sickness . After having
known my condition I decided to give this fund a charity , church ,
Christian organization , or a truth to believe , it will use that money
down the road I'm pe r institute here .

I want to use this fund
for the orphanage , schools , churches , widows and less privileged
people in the multiplication of the Word of God and to ensure that the
house of God is maintained . The Bible made us to understand that "
Blessed is the hand that gives . " I took this decision because I do not
have any child that they will inherit this money and my husband
relatives are incredulous and I just want my husband 's efforts to be
used by nonbelievers .
 
I do not want a situation where this
money will be used in an irreverent way . That is why I am taking this
decision . I'm not afraid of death , so I know where I'm going . I know I
'm about to be in the bosom of the Gentleman Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "
the gentleman will fight my case and my peace me safe ." I do not
always need any telephone communication in this regard because of my
health condition and presence of my husband relatives around me cer
candy to claim this money from me , whom my husband shared with me . I
do not want them to know about this development. With God always ything
is possible.
 
I want you to gesture alone so that my health can
only allow me, as they were introduced on dialysis routine medical visit
for me. I am also writing this letter with the help of a sister who use
to help me . I want you to send your name and full address to me so
that I can swear an affidavit under oath that officially and legally
recognized you as the next of kin to this fund , even though I was dying
for your request fund in the bank not to be in doubt . I'll be one
highlighting the affidavit of oath and certificates of deposit of this
fund suffered after deposition is ready .
 
Once you have received
your reply I shall give you the contact with the bank in Abidjan Ivory
Costs where this money was put down by my dear husband . I'll also do
question is the affidavit of oath and officially approve legal mind that
th e nearest relative and new beneficiaries to the fund, together with
the certificate of deposit of this fund , that my dead husband used to
pay the money on the bench . I want you to always pray for me because
the Lord is my shepherd .


My happiness is that I lived a life
worthy of a Christian . Who wants to serve the Gentleman must serve him
in spirit and truth . One prays always to be a prayer for life . Any
delay in your reply will give me room for the offer of another person
with the same motif .
