[ BEGIN SCAM E-MAIL ]   From:     Azim Mohammed Ngan <azimngan54@yahoo.com> Subject:     Urgent attention needed!!/ find attached my international passport Date:     Mon, 22 Jun 2009 04:23:28 -0700 (PDT) (07:23 EDT) Dear ,   I am Barrister Azim Mohammed Ngan, a legal practitioner in Malaysia with many years of practice. I was an attorney to a deceased client of mine, who died in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia of a heart related condition in 2001. My reason of sending you this email is to help secure the fund left behind by my late client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this fund valued at $8.7 million dollars was deposited.   Since you do have the same surname with my late client, I would want to present you as the legitimate beneficiary with all legal documents required to back up your claim. The holding bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin or the fund will be confiscated and so far, all my efforts to get hold of someone related to this man has proved abortive.   This is my proposal; I am asking for your consent to present you to the bank as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my late client, since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage. I do have a good standing in Malaysia, it is my assurance that this transaction will be successful and that I will make sure that the transaction is done within the applicable laws to guarantee full legitimacy.    All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin will be provided by me. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. However, if this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology.   Please contact me at once to indicate your interest. Do understand that this transaction do require utmost confidence and you should keep this mail to yourself not with standing if you are rejecting the transaction or accepting it.   Note that I reserve the right to reject your acceptance of this proposal if I have reasons to believe that you may not be honest or discreet as it concerns this proposal.   Further details and introduction will be giving as soon as your interest is indicated by contacting me with azimngan54@yahoo.com.   Yours Sincerely, Barr. Azim Mohammed Ngan. Attorney at Law   [ 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.
