Good Day My Friend.
My Name is Mr. Kofi Mensah
I am the Eastern regional branch manager of the Standard
Chartered Bank West Africa.I do not want problems but I
just hope you can assist me.I write you this letter in good faith.
I am in control of the sum of three million,eight hundred and fifty
thousand US dollars ($3,850,000.00) which was an excess of profit made
by our regional eastern branch office in the last quarter of the year
2008,which I have carefully placed in an Escrow Call Deposit Account
and did not declare this to my head office.
Can I really trust you to hold this money for me until I arrive your
country and pick it up myself and you deduct 30% of the total money as
your commission.If you accept my offer you can contact me immediately.
If you do not accept can you forget I contacted you?
All I need is for you to get me a good current account in your bank
where I can move this money.I will discreetly give you all the
information concerning the account so that you can apply to the bank
for the release of the money.There is practically no risk involved,it
will be a bank to bank transfer.Take my word.
I hope you understand my situation my friend.This my private phone number: + 233 24 560 4193
Thank you for your kind co-operation,
Am waiting to hear from you
Mr. Kofi Mensah

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.
