"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!

CONTACT MY LAWYER FOR THE ATM MASTER CARD VALUE $2.000,000 USD ONLY.

My Dear in Christ,

How are you today together with your family? i thank God almighty for his
infinite mercy upon my life for the fund of our late sister Love Abrams
which i have claimed out from the bank successfully.

Brief I am Mrs. Mona Angel Haven, i am sure you will remember me the
woman who was taking care of our late Mrs Love Abrams in the hospital
when she was alive here in London, United Kingdom.

I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting the fund transferred
under the cooperation of the new Pastor from Brazil.

Presently I'm in Brazil for Charity projects with the pastor who succeeded
in getting the fund out from the Barclays Bank where it was deposited.


Meanwhile, i didn't forget your past efforts and attempts to claim the
Fund as Mrs Love Abrams when she was alive made you the beneficiary of the
sum ($10 M USD) for transfering to your account for charity work which you
did not complete before she died.

Out of my sincere heart i have decided to show gratitude to you and i have
signed a 20% ($2,000,000 USD) from my bank through ATM master card on your
behalf for your compensation which i gave to my lawyer and have also
instructed him to help make sure you receive the ATM MASTER CARD to you
that is containing the money,

Now contact my Lawyer in LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM my lawyer is also an Rev
and request him to help you deliver it to you.

His name and address is below:

Name: Rev Alfred Andrew Cambell
Email: benychander@gmail.com

Phone: UK TEL: 00 44 745 218 6917


Ask him to send you the ATM MASTER CARD which I kept for your compensation
for all the past efforts and attempts in this

matter to fulfill Mrs Love Abrams wish, and instruct him where to deliver
the Cheque to you.

I appreciated your efforts to fulfill Mrs Love Abrams last wish on earth
that time despite that you later disappointed her which I am in the
position now.

So feel free to get in touch to my lawyer Alfred Andrew Cambell who is
living in
London, United Kingdom. Please do let me know immediately you receive it so
that we can share the joy together after all the sufferness at that time.

In the moment, i am very busy here because of the Charity projects which i
and the new partner pastor Lewis are having at hand, finally, remember
that I have forwarded instruction to my lawyer on your behalf to receive
that ATM MASTER CARD that is containing the $10,000,000 USD only, so feel
free to get in touch with him and he will send the ATM MASTER CARD to you
without any delay.

I want to let you know that i will send the secret numbers to you directly
which you will use to cash the money as soon as you receive the ATM MASTER
CARD that is containing the cash, again i want to inform you that my bank
told me that you can only be able to withdraw $6,000 maximum per day only
till you withdraw the whole money inside the card.

I remembered to do this to give this token to you because of your past
efforts in trying to finalize with the bank although you failed to
complete the process but for the simple fact that i made a vow to God that
I will make sure that I send something to you as soon as I successfully
finalize with the bank. That is the reason why I did this.

All thanks to the new brother that i contacted that helped me to finalize
this and have the total fund transferred in BRAZIL where i am right now
successfully.

I also want to inform you that as soon as I and Pastor Lewis completed out
Charity project here i will come to your country so that we will meet face
to face and i want you to promise me that you will also use part of this
money for less privileged as well as i am doing here because this money
is made for that purpose.

Best Regards,

Thank you and may God Bless.
Mrs Mona Angel Haven.

N/B: I may not be able to get to my email for so long because of the
project which we have at hand here and lack of internet access so do make
sure you contact with the Lawyer through his email address above and ask
him how the ATM MASTER CARD will reach you at your destination.
