"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: Good Morning My Dear.

Hello my dear beloved.

This is very important and urgent and that is my reason of writing to you, please Dear.

I am Mrs. Deborah E. Parrboat from republic of Ireland, born in the state of Ohio USA. I am legally married to Mr. Hilary Hendrick Parrboat, a South Africa citizen born brought up in Switzerland, I lived in Switzerland with my husband for 32 years before we moved down to south Africa in 1985 after my husbands retirement in 1984, I am 71 years old by the grace of God. I am a God fearing person, and I respect humanity and nature. Actually, it is also the reason I contacted you because I know you are God fearing person, as I noticed it from your profile before I decided to contact you for this.

I am suffering from long time (illness) cancer of the breast. This illness (CANCER) has troubled me for a long time, and all indications from my doctor is that my condition is really deteriorating and getting worse; and it is quite obvious that I wouldnt live more than three months, according to my doctor and in all indication regards to medical analysis and dialysis. This is because the cancer disease has gotten to a very bad stage and speedily spread that and there is no hope for me to be a living again. My dear husband was involved in the January 2000 Kenya airways plane crashed as you can see on the news line web site.
40 years period of marriage life and we could not produce any child, my late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited some part of his business and money in the bank. The doctor has advised me that I may not live for more than (3) three months and 2 weeks and warn me to stop thinking over who is going to inherit me and the wealth. Based on that, today I have decided to donate and contribute to the less privileges, charity homes, and orphanage homes and to those displaced by wars

I choose to contact you after viewing your profile information and I have the confidence in you because, I have prayed to God for me to contact you one day and I am happy that it has come to reality. I am donating this sum of $20.5million USdollars, to the less privileged of which you will be responsible in taking care of the disbursement and sharing of this money to organizations that I will appoint in your country and some other places around the world. Meanwhile, you will also get 30% of the money which will be; six million and one hundred thousand dollars

Please I want you to note that this fund is still in the bank where my late husband and I deposited it. I am going to advice my banker to change my last will to your name and file in an application for the transfer of the money in your name and to your account. Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred to your account will be used for this purpose even if I may be dead or alive, because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition is not always the final thing in life or death if you do not help people around.

Please bear it in mind that every document will be changed to your name and the money will rightfully belong to your name as quickly as I get your reply. I made the promise to God that the fund will be used to help the needy and the less privilege, reply to me as soon as you get this message through this email: ( parrboat@gmail.com )

May Gods grace guide and see you through as you help me in the fulfillment of this desire. God bless you and your family. Please for further discussion; write to me with this email address: ( parrboat@gmail.com )

You can call me immediately you receive this mail (+27-79-440-5094)

I await urgent reply.
Regards,

Mrs. Deborah E. Parrboat.
