David Dudu # 24 Blairgorew Road Ranburg Johannesburg South Africa Direct Line: +27 83 575 3712.                                            Dear Sir, I am Engr. David Dudu, the first son of late Sir. Jabu Dudu, who was the Chairman of the farmer’s co-operative Union in Zimbabwe. I found your contact details while I was conducting a private research in your country companies’ directory for a reliable and capable foreign partner who will assist my family and me to transfer the sum of US$18 Million (Eighteen Million United States Dollars) to any personal or company account for investment. My father was among the farmer’s who were brutally murdered in cold blood by the President Robert Mugabe Zanu-PF party supporters during the land dispute that just happened in my country Zimbabwe. This money was mapped out by my late father for the development of a new farm in Namibia and also to buy some agricultural machine (Farming tractors) for a new farming season before his sudden death. As the first son of the family I am faced with the responsibility to manage my father’s estates. After carefully consideration with my mother, we resolved to contact you for your most needed assistance. We duly apologize for infringing into your privacy as I make this proposal to you as a man of integrity and high esteem. This fund is deposited in a secret Security vault of a private Equity Trust Company here in South Africa. I am prepared to split 30% for you provided that 70% will be intact at the end, for my family investment in your country, as I am planning to relocate with my family to your country at the end. Note that this business is 100% risk free as my mother has planned out all the necessary modality for a free and smooth transaction. You can read this website for more details on these crises in my country Zimbabwe http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/715001.stm While, I look forward to hear from you soon. Absolute confidentiality and secrecy remain important in this deal. May God bless you and your good family? With my best regards, Engr. David Dudu For the Family.   [ END SCAM E-MAIL ]

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.

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.
