Hello, I am Miss Young. This story was sent to me from a lady. Lets call her Mrs White. This is what she wrote to me: Go to the homepage to see more stories.

Miss Young,

I am contacting you because I too have been bitten. I visited your website only after receiving an e-mail to stop the 419 scam. I was bitten by the sum of $14,000. It was not because of greed but because of a desire to help people less fortunate than myself. I desire to open a program to help men and women that have been beat down by the cares of this world through alcohol and drug abuse. When I was contacted it was to me like a prayer being answered. I had no idea that such dealings were going on. It was my love for God and his people that blinded me to this scam. I am astonished that this has been going on with no regards for other people's feeling. If they can devise something like this then why not go out and get a real job and use their minds for good and not evil.

I read a story from a closed case by the name of Rosaline Hamson that was sent on Sept. 10, 2004. It reads the exact way the e-mail I received from Linda Qare reads. This is when I realized I was really scammed. Yet because I know that God is in control of everything these people will come down. The battle is not mine now...it's the Lord's. I can rest assured knowing he can do more to them than any man or penal system can do. The money they received from me will bring them more trouble if anything. ...

 
Here is the first letter Mrs White received:  

From: linda_Qare2003@yahoo.fr
Sent: November 26, 2004
Subject: Hello Mrs White

I am Mrs Linda Qare,from Kuwait.I am married to late Mr Desu Qare, who worked with Kuwait Embassy in Ivory Coast for Twenty-Six years before he died in the year 2001,after a brief illness that lasted for only five days.
We were married for Eighteen years with a duaghter(Lilian)who later died in a motor accident. Before the untimely death of my husband,we were both born again Christians. Since after his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (US$1.8 M)(One Million,Eight hundred Thousand United States Dollar) in a General Trust Account with a prime bank in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. Presently,this money is still with the bank.
Recently,Following my ill health, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next eight months due to my cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Christain organization (Church) that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein,according to the desire of my late husband before his death.
I want this fund to be used in Christain Activities like,Orphanages, Christain schools, and Churches for propagating the word of God and to endeavor 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 efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this 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 hence 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 bank in Abidjan. I will also issue you the documents that will prove you the present 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. Contact me on this e-mail address:(linda_Qare2003@yahoo.fr) any delay in yourreply will give me room in sourcing another individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Linda Qare

This is my answer:

I just got home from work and I read your e-mail and I am truly speechless and amazed at what you want to do for God's people. I am truly astonished at the way God moves in the lives of his people. This is truly a blessing from God. My heart's desire has always been to reach out to people who do not know the Lord to help lead them into a right relationship with him.

Recently God has given me a vision to help his people, people that are without hope in this world to teach them God's word and show them a better way of life according to his word. Recently I wrote a letter to 17 churches to come together and do this but I did not get the response I hoped for so I knew God gave me the vision to open a house to help men and women that have been beat down by this life. I recently prayed and told God that I was going to depend on him to give me what I need to do this and what you said to me in your e-mail is God answering my prayer. I am almost speechless at this point. I cannot even form the words I really want to say.

I am sorry to hear about your illness but don't give up. Nothing is too hard for God. I lead a Women's Intercessory Prayer Group on Tuesday nights and we will pray your healing and that God's will be done in your life. God says if we delight ourselves in him he will give us the desires of our heart. If your heart's desire is to be healed then please believe God for it. As long as we have breath in our body there is still hope. I hope you do not mind if I keep hope alive for you and pray that God will lift you up and heal your body. James 5:6 reads the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. One thing I know for sure is God hears my prayers.

I vow to God and to you that I will use whatever you give me to further his Kingdom. There is so much I want to say but I am lot for words. I truly Praise God for what he is going to do through you. You are an amazing woman.

Dear Sister White,

I received and read your letter with gratitude to God. And I am impressed with your reply.I am persuaded to fulfil the desire of my late husband,that is why I will be trusting and believing your sincerity to appropriate this accordingly.

As a servant of the living God,I will want you to take your time and pray about this,and re-assure me that you will use this fund as desired by my late husband and myself,because the use of this fund for the expansion of the kingdom of God,will be the only way our spirit will be at rest.

Please, I want you to understand that this benevolence is in fulfilment of the desire and decision of my late husband which I am persuaded to actualize. This fund is desiginated for humanitarian and Charity services with special emphasis. This must be disbursed with every appropriation,accountability and prudence to the glory of God.

If you will be capable to handle this divine project, send me your full name and address so that I can swear to an affidavit on oath that will officially and legally approved you as the next of kin to this fund,so that even if I am no more, your claim to the fund will not be in doubt. I will be sending you the certificate of deposit of this fund immediately after the affidavit is ready.

I will want you to urgently handle this from there,so that this money will be transfered to you before the fall of this Country.With my health, I will not be capable to handle this,because I have been placed on dialysis check up periodically .I hope you are aware of the political crisis in this Country.Infact,the saints have fasted and prayed for peace.

I beg you to be praying for me, and may the Good Lord add more anointing upon you,and give you more wisdom to handle this project to his own Glory.

Ensure you reply this letter and the needed information immediately so that I will take my final decision.

Thanks and may God bless us all.
Sister Linda Qare.

 

Dear Sister Qare:

All I can say to you is to trust God. If you have prayed and God has laid this on your heart to do than you must believe that God will not direct you to do anything that is not right nor according to his will. The Bible tells us that a good man's steps are ordered by the Lord.

I have been asking God is this really him so I have been taking one step at a time. When I read your e-mails I almost become speechless and I find it a little hard to type what I want to say. I will do whatever God wants me to do because it's about him and only him. My desire has been to do whatever I can to be a blessing to God's people. If we live for this life only than we will have eternity to regret it.

I am a woman of great faith and I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. My life does not belong to me it belongs to God. I will continue to pray and seek God's face for direction concerning this matter. To you I can only say let the Lord lead you. I will continue to pray for you and peace for your country and the world as a whole. There is so much going on in the world but I know God is in control of everything. No matter what it looks the earth is his and the fullness thereof and all they that dwell therein. Continue to look to the hills from whence cometh your help knowing your help comes from the Lord.

I assure you that I will do whatever your late husband and you desire to be done with the funds. It is my heart's desire to build up the Kingdom of God. I have fully committed my life to God and all of the money in the world cannot make me turn my back on him. His word tells us if we delight ourselves in him that he will give us the desires of our heart. Also, there is no good thing will he withhold from them that walk upright before him. Everything we need and everything we want God has it. I will pray that God continues to bless and strengthen you. Be encouraged and keep your eyes fixed on God.

Sincerely,

Sister White

Good Morning Mr. Collins

Once these documents are received I was told the money will be wired. I never received a drug clearance certificate so do you know what they are talking about. Also can you contact them and find out what is going on. Their telephone number is 34 658 159 220 and their fax number is 34 654 111 805. I have e-mailed them a copy of the anti terrorist certificate. I believe the gentleman's name is Dr. Peter Benson. I could not understand what he said he last name was but I believe he said Benson. I also do not understand why the Bank of Africa did not take care of this. Thank you ...

To the Attention of Mrs. White,

This is to acknowledge the receipt of your e-mail with contents adequately noted. Sequel to our initial communication, we have been able to contact Mr. Dominic Gali and confirmed your fund transfer with our banking institution. Today, being the 24th January 2005, I visited the office of Mr. Dominic Gali and we contacted the corresponding bank and have confirmed that they need the "DRUG CLERANCE CERTIFICATE" before the final release and crediting to your Bank Account.

Listen and listen very carefully Mrs. White, be rest assured that your fund shall be released and confirmed in your account immediately you obtain the Durg Certificate with them. We have contacted them and they confirmed that they do not hold anything against your fund but the Drug Certificate is for your best insterest to ensure a free remittance of the total sum. It is not advisable for you to keep such huge amount of fund on transit for long because of documentation(Drug Certificate).

Urgently contact them and clear the obligations and have your fund released to your account as intended. For further information, contact Mr. Dominic Gali for him to advice you on what to do.

Since our office has been involved in this matter we shall ensure that this fund is credited to your designated bank account but follow our given instruction. Always update us with your communications with Mr. Dominic and let us know immediately the fund is confirmed in your bank account.

Thank you so much for your cooperation as we are here to help you more and.

Urgently get back with me and confirm the receipt of this e-mail.

Mr. Frank Liosonxy.

 

On January 31, 2005 at 3:55 PM to the african bank:

Dr. Dominic Gali:

Sir, I have heard this before about contacting someone you referred to me to have these funds released to me and it is almost 2 months later and nothing has been released. Every time I have had to contact someone else it has cost me thousands of dollars that I had to borrower from people. This is why I contacted someone else. You need to understand with this Advance Fee Scam going forth in your country it does not set to well with me. Since I too am requesting to send money before money is released to me. I hope you can understand where I am coming from. Contrary to popular belief Americans are not rich. We just have a little more freedom than other countries. There are still poor and starving people in our country too.

Sincerely, ...

I have not heard anything from the bank in Spain since February 15th. I have sent them a few e-mails telling them exactly what I think about them.

I also realize now I sent them over $18,000 when I total it all up!

 
Mrs White finally realised it was a scam, and stopped.

5 months later I receive this email from H.L.:

miss young,
i just read a "carbon copy" of the scam under your web; http://419.bittenus.com/6/LindaQare/
i wish i read in June to minimize my loss. A total of $18,000 was swindled from me.
I feel very sad. I have to repay some of the money.
I can identify the writer's feeling of helpless.
Regards,
H.L.

I suggest he contacts Secret Service to report his loss.

Miss Young,

Thanks for the quick response. I talked to Secret Service a few minutes ago and filing the complaint now. The lady who contact me was "sussana edward <sussana_edward@yahoo.ca>" she sent me the spouse picture, and her accompice is "rose kennedy". I am still tangle with on email right now.
The banker and lawyer mentioned in Mrs White's case and mine are using the same name, Dr. Dominic Gali and also James P Collins.

I wish i could have a chance to catch them and make them paid for their crime. I am a Christian and it is almost identical case with Mrs White.

I learned a big lesson, very careful to help other people.
Regards,
H.L.

 

2 months later, on september 19, I receive an email from M.W.:

Hello Miss Young,
This is Pastor M. W.. I have sent you several emails in reference to what I believe is a scam. It appears that is has all of the characteristics of other testimonials that you have on your web site. ... I wanted to let you know that your web site was a HUGE help to me and probably saved our church and myself a lot of money. Thanks a lot!

This scam used the name Celine John. The Certificate of Deposit had the same account number, Ba-Ci- 018942819, as Lindas!

It also had a "Statutory Declaration", this time from "Royal Court of Kuwait". Compare it to Lindas:

 

Linda Qare

Celine John
Apparently this scammer is still very active, so look out for him!

On 8th November 2005 RTE Radio 1 broadcasted another Linda Qare story.

It was part of the Net Nanny show.

You can hear the original broadcast here, or download a copy (2.5 MB) here.
