"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:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
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:
- "cost of transfer" (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. )
- ",000,000" (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)
- "00,000.00" (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.

Subject: Dear Beloved In In Lord

With the believe in me that there are still good people who can make a different in the world despite the ungodly things happening in this world, I found your email address during my private research online and decided that it is pertinent to contact you for the purpose of working collectively towards reaching out to the poor people.

I am Rev Remas Yarden, From Joradan served at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church Amman Jordan, I am 63 years old suffering from chronic urinary tract cancer. From all indications, my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that i may not live more than two months after my next surgery in London. after my next surgery scheduled to be held in Ukraine which My personal physician told me that I may not live for more than 2 months and I am so scared about it. I have no child of mine own since my spiritual obligation does not permit me to marry.

But through this wonderful Bible verses, Psalms 119:116 ….Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live, and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Psalms 138: 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou will revive me......psalms 41:1 Blessed is he that considered the poor, the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
Two of my favorite verses: Philippians 2:27: For indeed he was sick nigh unto death, but God had mercy on him & that on him only, but on me also, less I should have sorrow upon sorrow. I always say this on my mind and always have hope that God will be my healer..

So, I now decide to donate all my life savings Including my assets inherited from my Mum, which turns out to be at the sum of $3,000,000.00USD . (Three Million USA dollar) to you. Use 40% of this fund for your Times and the remaining 60 % for humanitarian purpose by establishing a foundation in your country under my name, so as to immortalize my name.

This money is deposited in a reliable bank In Jordan, Presently, I have informed my Attorney, about my decision in WILLING this fund to you, you are to get back to me immediately if you are interested in carrying out this task, so that I will instruct you on how to get in contact with my attorney and my account officer.

Lastly, I know I have never meet you, I prayed and fasted with my spiritual adviser, Rev. Fr. Ediz Derya before i choose your address and my mind tells me to inform you about this. Provide the information below via my private email address (revremasyarden@gmail.com) in other to fulfill this which borders me most:

YOUR NAME:………………?
YOUR COUNTRY:…………?
YOUR PHONE NO:………?
OCCUPATION:……………?
AGE:……………………………?
SEX:………………………?

NOTE: I shall bear the cost of transferring this money to you; all i need is your sincerity. God bless you.

Sincerely,

Rev Remas Yarden
