"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:

This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "your urgent reply" (scammers rush victims so they don't have time to think properly)
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.
This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.

God Is The ultimate Giver!

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs. Jessica Williams, A widow to the Late Dr. Tony Williams, I am 53 years old, I am a Christian, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, From all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it's quite obvious that I won't live more than four months according to my doctors.

This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. My late husband was killed during the U.S raid against terrorism in Afghanistan when he travel led to Afghanistan to monitor an Hospital / a Humanitarian Foundation (HHF) he was setting up for the benefit of the Afghan masses as of then,whose majority, and 99 percent of them are Muslims / Islamic scholars and loyalists, during the period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child.

My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his businesses and wealth. My doctors have advised me that I may not live for more than four months,so I now decided to divide part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the less privileged,needy and churches in Africa,America, Asia and Europe. I am willing to donate the sum of Sixteen Million and two hundred nineteen nine ($16,299,161.00), to you for the less privileged. Please I want you to note that, this fund is deposited in Europe and upon my instruction, my attorney will help you for the transfer of the money in your name.

Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for the said purpose, because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition
without Christ is vanity upon vanity.

May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you and your family.
