"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!

Hello my beloved ,

Greetings to you.

I thank God who has given me strength to be able to communicate with
you again through this laptop. I have no doubt that you are the
rightful person that God has designed to carry out my last wish
because prior to my contact with you I had to pray and asked my God to
provide me with the right person who will carry out this task without
greed. Your response is an evidence that you are a sincerely and good
person.

My condition has deteriorated and my doctor has repeatedly told me
that i may not live up to three months after the last surgery
operation, but i keep having faith in God as i keep fighting this
cold hand of death. This cancer illness has destroyed my soul and my
major concern now is the safety of this inheritance and is the reason
why i have mustered this strength to keep enduring this unbearable
pain in my heart until God provides the suitable person to carry the
work of humanity through this â‚¬ 3,500,000,00 in the that account. I
don't know you in person, but i believe that God loves you and has
connected you to my life to restore and establish you in prosperity
that is now eluding me. I have already explained to the Bank director
of my immediate plan to introduce my appointed beneficiary to the Bank
who will contact the Bank to have the fund release in accordance with
the law of Country Benin to ensure that there will be no breach of the
law. How ever i will appreciate if you could send me both your address
in your country, your profession and telephone number which will have
to formally forward to the bank director Mr. Dennis Gazie who has
assured me to give you all the support you will need to achieve the
goal. Please act fast by sending me the information between today and
tomorrow.
Please try reply me urgently at my private Email box Id
(rachealamodu03@gmail.com) This is to guide you on the step ahead.

My God will continue to bless and guide your steps.

Regards,

Mrs.Recheal Newman Amodu.
