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: |

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

This scam used the name Celine John. The Certificate of Deposit had

It also had a "Statutory Declaration", this time from "Royal
