"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: Donation from Mrs. Falicia Mogab,



Doação da Sra. Falicia Mogab,

Eu sou casado com o Sr. Mark Mogab, que trabalhou com a embaixada do Kuwait na Costa do Marfim por nove anos antes de morrer em 2004. Nós nos casamos há onze anos sem uma criança. Ele morreu após uma breve doença que durou apenas quatro dias. Antes de sua morte, ambos nasceram novamente cristãos. Desde a sua morte, eu decidi não me volver a casar nem conseguir uma criança fora da minha casa matrimonial, a qual a Bíblia está contra. Quando meu marido estava vivo, ele depositou a soma de (US $ 2,5 milhões) no banco aqui na conta suspensa de Abidjan. Atualmente, o fundo ainda está no banco. Recentemente, meu médico me disse que eu tenho uma doença grave que é problema de câncer. O que mais me perturba é o meu acidente vascular cerebral. Conhecendo a minha condição, decidi doar este fundo para a igreja ou aqueles que utilizam esse dinheiro da maneira que eu recomendaria aqui. Eu quero uma igreja que usará este fundo para orfanatos, viúvas, para promover a palavra de Deus e o esforço que a casa de Deus é mantida. Me informe as seguintes informações, conforme abaixo.
