"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.
This email message is a "dying widow" scam.

A CONTRIBUTION FOR THE WORK OF GOD.

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs Jane Anderson, a widow to Late Mr .Anderson I am 58years old, I am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indications,that my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I won't live more than six months,because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage.

My late husband was killed by his family ,and 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 business and wealth.The doctor has advised me that I may not live for more than six months, so I now decided to divide part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the church and less privillage in Africa, America and Europe.

I selected you after visiting the website and I prayed over it, I am willing to donate the sum of US$3.4,000 000.00 to you for the development of the church and also for the less privileged. Please I want you to note that, this fund is laying in a bank, for that my lawyer will file in application for the transfer of the money in the name of your ministry or person.

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.

Alleluyah,If you have to die says the Lord, keep fit and I will give you the crown of life.

May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you.You can reach me for more details

I await your soonest reply as you could.

Yours in Christ

MRS. Jane Anderson
