Radical Fundamentalist Nigerian Money Scams The Emails below are being sent to Christian web sites through out the web world by Radical Fundamentalist groups and Nigerian Bankers. The emails are false and are meant to deceive using large amounts of money, sickness and Christian lingo as a lure to gather your private information. Higher Praise has investigated these claims from these emails. The groups that are sending the emails have targeted Christians knowing that 99% of believers have no criminal records and are not wanted by the law. The emails are sent to gather your private information and your identity etc. Crime free identity is what these groups need to travel to other countries. The sole purpose is to use peoples identity to steal funds and to travel the world. Anybody who has ever received the notorious Nigerian Money Scam will probably have asked themselves the same question - what would happen if I replied? For those of you unfamiliar with this email scam, the basic idea is simple. Somebody purporting to be a Christian, converted Muslim, widowed Christian, or Nigerian banker contacts you, offering a chance to earn some serious money. Often his or her bank will be looking after the considerable fortune of a deceased millionaire - from shipping magnate to former president. He or she says they need a foreign bank account through which to launder the money - and in return for sending him or her your bank details for this purpose, he or she will give you a share of the spoils. Of course those who fall for this scam never see these promised millions. Instead their bank accounts are often cleaned out once they have handed over all their details - which include bank account numbers, copies of their passport and drivers license and phone and fax numbers - it is a simple identity theft, dressed up with a tempting lure for the gullible. Be aware that these scams are well-known. They used to be called “Nigerian letters” because they came by mail, but now these messages also come by phone, fax, or email. These promises are never true. The purpose of the scam is to get money out of your bank account, not to put money into it. Once you are on the hook, they’ll never let you go. You will be asked for a never-ending series of payments for “transfer fees,” “legal expenses,” and other bogus costs. Be wary of offers to send you an “advance” on your “commission.” Some con artists use this ploy to build trust and to get money from your bank. They send you a check for part of your “commission,” instructing you to deposit it and then wire payment to them for taxes, bonding, or some other phony purpose. The bank tells you the check has cleared because the normal time has passed to be notified that checks have bounced. After you wire the money, the check that you deposited finally bounces because it turned out to be an elaborate fake. Now the crooks have your payment, and you’re left owing your bank the amount that you withdrew. Don’t believe photographs of the “treasure.” One common ploy is to tape money around a block of wood or bundles of paper to make it look like a large amount of currency. Sometimes the crooks even sprinkle harmless powder on the money and tell victims that it’s a toxic chemical used to protect it. Then they offer to sell a special substance to remove the powder! Never provide your bank account or other financial information. This information can be used to withdraw money from your account. Don’t agree to travel anywhere to meet these people. They avoid coming to the United States because they fear arrest. Instead, they sometimes try to lure victims to meet them in Africa or other countries. Victims have been robbed and even murdered. Remember that these are hardened criminals. According to the Secret Service, these crooks use the money they make on this scam to finance other illegal activities such as drug dealing and credit card fraud. If they get your money, you’ll never get it back. It’s very difficult to bring these crooks to the United States for trial, and action is rarely taken against them in their own countries. However, it’s still helpful to report actual or attempted Nigerian money offer scams to law enforcement agencies. If you need advice about an Internet or online solicitation, or you want to report a possible scam, use the information below or call the NFIC hotline at 1-800-876-7060. The Nigerian Scam Defined A Five Billion US$ (as of 1996, much more now) worldwide Scam which has run since the early 1980's under Successive Governments of Nigeria. It is also referred to as "Advance Fee Fraud", "419 Fraud" (Four-One-Nine) after the relevant section of the Criminal Code of Nigeria, and "The Nigerian Connection" (mostly in Europe). However, it is usually called plain old "419" even by the Nigerians themselves. The Scam operates as follows: the target receives an unsolicited fax, email, or letter often concerning Nigeria or another African nation containing either a money laundering or other illegal proposal OR you may receive a Legal and Legitimate business proposal by normal means. Common variations on the Scam include "overinvoiced" or "double invoiced" oil or other supply and service contracts where your Bad Guys want to get the overage out of Nigeria; crude oil and other commodity deals; a "bequest" left you in a will; "money cleaning" where your Bad Guy has a lot of currency that needs to be "chemically cleaned" before it can be used and he needs the cost of the chemicals; "spoof banks" where there is supposedly money in your name already on deposit; "paying" for a purchase with a check larger than the amount required and asking for change to be advanced; and ordering items and commodities off "trading" sites on the web and then cheating the seller. The variations of Advance Fee Fraud (419) are very creative and virtually endless. At some point, the victim is asked to pay up front an Advance Fee of some sort, be it an "Advance Fee", "Transfer Tax", "Performance Bond", or to extend credit, grant COD privileges, send back "change" on an overage cashier's check or money order, whatever. If the victim pays the Fee, there are often many "Complications" which require still more advance payments until the victim either quits, runs out of money, or both. If the victim extends credit on a given transaction etc. he may also pay such fees ("nerfund" etc.), and also stiffed for the Goods or Service with NO Effective Recourse. The Nigerian Scam is, according to published reports, the Third to Fifth largest industry in Nigeria. It is the 419 Coalition view that, in effect, the elites from which successive Governments of Nigeria have been drawn ARE the Scammers - therefore, victims have little recourse in this matter. Monies stolen by 419 operations are almost Never Recovered from Nigeria. Most 419 letters and emails originate from or are traceable back to Nigeria. However, some originate from other nations, mostly also West African nations such as Ghana, Togo, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast ( Cote D'Ivoire ) etc. In most cases 419 emails from other nations are also Nigerian in that the "Home Office" of the 419ers involved is Nigeria regardless of the source of the contact materials. But there are occasionally some "local" copycats trying to emulate the success of the Nigerians. These folks tend not to last too long actually operating out of nations other than Nigeria, but they do try. THE FIVE RULES FOR DOING BUSINESS WITH NIGERIA Courtesy of The 419 Coalition 1. NEVER pay anything up front for ANY reason. 2. NEVER extend credit for ANY reason. 3. NEVER do ANYTHING until their check clears. 4. NEVER expect ANY help from the Nigerian Government. 5. NEVER rely on YOUR Government to bail you out. What To Do If You Receive A Nigerian Scam/419 Letter 1. DO NOT RESPOND TO THE 419 SOLICITATION. 2. Notify your Own Nation's National Law Enforcement Agency and your Own Nation's Foreign Office. 3. File a Complaint with the Nigerian Embassy or High Commission in your nation. 4. File a complaint via email with the Central Bank of Nigeria. 5. For Loss cases only, you may file a complaint with the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). 6. If the contact from the 419ers was via email: write their email provider at their "abuse" address (abuse@yahoo.com, abuse@onebox.com etc.) and include the 419er message with its headers; complain about the 419 message; and ask that the account be shut down. You may also file complaints with watchdog type sevices like Spamcop to try and get the 419ers email accounts shut off by whatever ISP they are using - Spamcop and other services like it will parse the headers of the 419 email and try to see through forged information etc. to get back to the actual origin of the 419 email, which is often useful in these matters. Please remember that it is important to include the message's full header information. This is necessary for tracking the message's point of origin. This extra information is not shown by default, and the method of displaying it depends on the email resource you use. If you don't know how to display full headers, please see the instructions in your mail program or website. (Note: Many webpage-based email hosts include a "full headers" option link near the top of the message.) Some 419ers give different email addies in the body of their mail than the one they sent from. You should complain to "abuse" etc. at those email providers as well.

My Lordship,

Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am former Mrs
Habiba Jubril , now Mrs Elisabeth Jubril , a widow to the late Sheik Faruk
Jubril.

I am 65 years old, I am now a new Christian convert suffering from long
time cancer of the breast and from all indications that my condition is
really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I won't live more than eight
months because the cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage.

My Late husband was killed during the Gulf war and at that period of our
marriage, we could'nt 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 leave for more than six months so
I now decided to divide part of this wealth and to contribute to the
development of the church in Africa,America,Europe and Asian countries.

The mission which will no doubt be tasking had made me to relocate to
Nigeria in Africa where I live presently. I selected your church after
visiting the website and prayed over it. I am willing to donate the sum of
18.000,000.00 Million US Dollars to your Ministry for the development of
your Church and also for the less priviledged.

Please note that the fund is lying in a Security Company in London,
therfore my lawyer will file an application for the transfer of the money
in the name of your Ministry.

Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transfered to your account,
will be used for the said purpose because I have come to find out that
wealth acquisition without Christ is Vanity upon Vanity.

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 Full
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you.

I wait your urgent response.

My Dear Friend

Greetings to you and your family today

I am Hajia Maryam Abacha, widow of the Late Gen. Sani Abacha former Nigerian Military Head of State who died as a result of cardiac arrest. The name of your company appeared in one of our directories as one of the companies my late husband wanted to do business with before he died. I therefore decided to contact you in confidence so that I can be able to move out the sum of US$50,000,000.00 (Fifty Million U.S Dollars) which was secretly sealed in big metal box with a security company owned by a Briton in Europe. Many of our bank accounts in Europe have been frozened.i.e.DEUTSCHE BK, BNP PARIBUS BK, HSBC, BARCLAYS BK, GOLDMANSACHS BK, CITY BK, COMMERZ
BK. But to mention few.

I personally therefore appeal to you for your urgent assistance to move this money into your
country whereI believe it will be safe since I cannot leave the country due to the restriction
of movement imposed on me and members of my family by the Nigerian government.

You can contact me or my son on his private number to discuse this(234-80-23385531)He shall arrange with you for a face to face meeting outside Nigeria inorder to liase with you towards the effective completion of this transaction. However, all arrangement has been put in place and this money has been moved out of Nigeria in batches in a secret vault through a diplomatic security company to outside Nigeria. I also want you to be assured that all necessary arrangement for a hitch-free transaction has been concluded. Conclusively, I have decided to offer you 25% of the total sum, 5% will be for whatever expenses that will Be incurred, while 70% is to be used in buying share in your company subsequent to our movement by the Nigerian government. Please reply urgently and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity.
We are reday to move of Nigeria without delay because everything is taken shape because my First son(Mohammed Abacha ) has been released f

Best regards.

Mrs Serena Jones <serenajones2003@latinmail.com

From: Mrs Serena Jones
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USED IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr.
Harry Jones who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years
before he died in the year 2000.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a
brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians.Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my late husband was alive he
deposited the sum of$8.6Million (Eight Million six hundred thousand U.S.
Dollars) with one finance/security company in Amsterderm Holland.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my
Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a christian individual that will utilize this
money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church that will use this fund to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death
hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health because of the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply
I shall give you the contact of the Finance/Security Company in Amsterderm Holland. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My
happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a chuch or christian individual for this same
purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hearing from you.
N.B-PLEASE I WILL ADVICE YOU TO GIVE THE LAWYER IN CHARGE A CALL IN HOLLAND IMMEDIATELY, HE DOES EVERYTHING ON MY BEHALF AND HE'S VERY UNDERSTANDING AND I BELIEVE HE WILL LEAD YOU TO YOUR SUCCESS IN JESUS NAME,
THE LAWYER'S NUMBER IS.0031-645-812-276

Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Beloved in Christ,
It is a priviledge to hear from God and it gives me
joy to relate my testimony to you haven recieved
instruction from God through divine revelation.
I was a Moslem and a retired military top officer in
Nigerian Army that served under the past military
regime. I was the financial secretary
to the Armed Force Ruling Council (AFRC). With my
position as a financial secretary, I was able to
divert up to $45,000,000.00 (Forty Five million
U.S Dollars, into my personal Bank Account, hoping to
invest the money when I’m retired.
Immediately I got retired, I was converted from Moslem
to Christian when I was preached the words of God
through my cousin Pastor Paul Osakwe.
I then gave my life to Christ and became a born again
Christain.
Since I gave my life to Christ, I had no rest of mind.
Some times I think of the souls I killed when I was a
soldier and the dubious ways I diverted
my country’s money into my Personal Bank Account. I
then decided to seek the face of God for forgiveness
and after fasting and prayer through
Divine Revelation, the Almighty God revealed to me
that the only way I could have rest of mind is when I
used all my money to do the work
of God. I immediately disclosed my revelation to my
Pastor and he was happy with me.
I have been thinking of the particular thing to do for
my God before this present civilian president of my
country set up a panel (Honourable
Oputa Panel) to probe the Bank Account of the past
Military officers like me. Instead of loosing this
money to my government, I quickly withdrew
my money out of my Account and deposited the money in
a finance and security company for safety.
My Pastor has adviced me to sneak out of the country
with the money to sow it into a ministries abroad. I
have decided to sow this money into
your ministry. I am making arrangement to come over to
your country but you need to receive this money from
the finance and security company in cash before I come
over.
The cash has been packaged by the security company in
consignments and ready for shipment but the security
company requires the address of the
receiver. Please send to me your names, address and
your telefax number where I can fax the Airway Bill to
you to claim the consignment over
there.
I will be coming over to your ministry with my family
for thanksgiving as soon as I sent out this money to
you. Please act fast because I dont
want the panel to know that I want to leave the
country, they might suspect my intention to leave now
that the probe is going on.
I look forward to your response
God bless you
Deacon Rawlings

"Barr.John Ibe" <johnibe1@123.com>
Reply-To:
barr_johnibe131@yahoo.com

Dear Beloved in Christ,

It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,
knowing the truth and the truth have set me free.
Having known the truth, I had no choice than to do
what is lawful and right in the sight of God for
eternal life and in the sight of man for witness
of God´s mercy and glory upon my life.

I have the pleasure to share my testimony with you,
having seen your contact from the Internet. I am
Barrister John Ibe, the legal adviser to late Mr.
and Mrs. Bright Williams, a British couple that lived
in my Country Nigeria for 25 years before they both
died in the plane crash late last year. These couples
were good Christians, they so dedicated to God but
they had no child till they died. Throughout their
stay in my country, they acquired a lot of properties
like lands, house properties, etc.

As their legal adviser, before their death, the
husband Mr. Bright Williams instructed me to write his
WILL. Because they had no child, they dedicated their
wealth to God. According to the WILL, the properties
have to be sold and the money be given out to a
ministry for the work of God. As their legal adviser,
all the documents for the properties were in my care.
He gave me the authority to sell the properties and
give out the fund to the Ministries for the work of
God.

In short, I sold all the properties after their death,
as instructed by Mr. Bright Williams before his death.
And as matter of fact, after I sold all their
properties, I realized more than $20,000,000.00
(twenty million US dollars plus), and what supposed to be the
percentage interest of my right legal fee was firstly
deducted by me out of the total amount realized from
the sold properties, this was base on the initial
agreement between me and the owner of the properties
before his death. Therefore the total amount left to
be invested into God's work as instructed by the
owner, is $20,000,000.00 (twenty million US dollars)
only. But Instead of giving the main fund out for the
work of God as instructed to me by the owner before
his death. I converted the fund to myself with the
intention of investing the fund abroad for my personal
use. I was afraid of putting the fund in the Bank,
because I have to give account to the bank on how I
got the money. I then packaged the fund in
consignments and deposited the consignments with a
security company. I did not want the management of the
Security Company to know the content of the
consignments, therefore I registered the content of
the consignments as Gold Bars. Now, the security
company believes that what I deposited with them was
Gold Bars.

I had encounter with Christ when Pastor Benny Hinn was
preaching on television concerning Ananias and Saphira
in Acts 5:1-11. After hearing the word of God, I gave
my life to Christ and became a born again Christian.
As a born again Christian, I started reading my bible
and one day, the Lord opened my eyes to Ezekiel 33: 18
and 19 where the word of God says: "When the righteous
truth from his righteousness, and committee iniquity,
he shall even die thereby. But if the wicked turn from
his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right,
he shall live thereby". From the scripture, I
discovered that the only way I could have peace in my
life is to do what is lawful and right by giving out
the fund as instructed for the work of God by the
owner before his death.

I have asked God for forgiveness and I know that God
have forgiven me. But I have to do what is lawful and
right in the sight of God by giving out the fund to
the chosen ministry for the purpose of God's wok as
instructed by the owner before his death.

After my fasting and prayers, I asked God to make his
choice and direct me to a honest Christian or the
chosen ministry that deserves this fund by his Grace.
I then came across your address on the Internet as I
was browsing through a Christian site, and as a matter
of fact, it is not only you or your ministry that I
picked on the Christian site initially, but after my
fervent prayer over it, then you were nominated to me
through divine revelation from God, so these are how I
received such a divine revelation from the Lord, how I
got your contact information, and I then decided to
contact you for the fund to be used wisely for things
that will glorify the name of God.

I have notified the Security Company where I deposited
the consignments that contained the fund, that I am
moving the consignment abroad and the security company
has since been waiting for my authority for the
consignment to leave my country and move to abroad.

So if you know that you will use this fund honestly
and wisely for things that will glorify God's name,
then do contact me back first through this my email
address: barr_johnibe131@yahoo.com

You should also forward to me your telephone and fax
number for easy communication and to fax you the
documents concerning the consignments.

Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.

Yours in Christ.

Barrister John Ibe.
