ATTN : Dear. Beneficiary,
According to the ethics of an office, introduction is always very
important on a first contact like this.
I am Mr. Barry Topkins, the Head of the Anti-Crime Unit of the
Metropolitan Police London-Uk.
This Official Memorandum is to inform you that we discovered that some
officials whom work under the Nigerian Government have attempted to divert
your Funds (US$10,500,000) through a back-door channel. We actually
discovered this today, through our Secret Agents under the Disciplinary
Unit of the Metropolitan Police after we apprehended (Mr. Ali Aeraby) a
terrorist suspect.
The mentioned suspect was apprehended at the Heathrow Air-Port early this
morning, as he attempted to carry the enormous cash value of US$10,500,000
outside the shores of England. In respect to the money laundering decree
of Great Britain such amount of money can not be moved in cash outside
England because such attempt is a criminal offense and is punishable under
the money laundering act of 1982 of Great Britain. This decree is a
globalize law applicable in most developed countries inother to check-mate
terrorism and money laundering.
>From our gathered information here in this Unit, we discovered that the
said Funds in question actually belongs to you but it had been purposely
delayed because the Nigerian officials in charge of your Payment are into
some sort of irregularities which is totally against the ethics of any
Payment institution.
Presently, this said Funds valued US$10,500,000 is under the custody of
the Paying Bank ( HSBC Bank Plc London-Uk ) and I can assure you that
your Funds will be released to you without a hitch provided that you are
sincere to us in this matter. Also, we require your positive co-operation
at every level because we are closely monitoring this very transaction
inother to avert the bad eggs in our society of today.
Today dated 15th January 2010, we have instructed the Executive management
of HSBC Bank Plc London-Uk to Release the said Funds to you as the
certified Beneficiary in question because we have valuable
information/records to authentify that the said Funds truely belongs to
you.
Be that as it may, you are required to provide us with below listed
information (for official verification)Via email
:metropolitan.police84@yahoo.co.uk
1. First Name, Middle Name and Last Name.
2. Age.
3. Occupation.
4. Marital Status.
5. Direct Telephone/Fax Number.
6. Residential address.

It's important to note that
any real people and / or legitimate
organizations whose actual names or other details appear in
these scam e-mails have absolutely no
connection
with this scam!
Scammers never use their real
names.
They frequently take on the identity of real people to help make themselves and their scam appear legitimate.

This is just a small sampling of the
many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at
419BAITER
headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!
There are many different types of 419 scam (examples)
but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary /
commision,
low-interest loan, lottery prize,
bargain gold dust / diamonds,
work visa, etc.) in return
for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no
fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get
you to
willingly send them money.

section.
NOTE TO
DUMBASS SPAMMERS:
My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good
but it isn't perfect.
Occasionally a regular spam e-mail will get mistakenly published here
as
a
419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish
to have your crap mistakenly published on this website as a
419
advance fee
scam, the solution is
simple. Don't mail your crap to harvested e-mail
addresses.
