Dear Friend,
You may browse the above link to have the sense of what I am about to say.
I
believe that you should handle this confidential issue with sincere and
trust, my name is Ahmed Ali, I am a citizen of Iraq, I am a Military
officer on monetary team troops in Iraq, please I want you to treat
this matter as urgent as possible.
We found this
cargo thinking it was armed weapons entering Baghdad neighborhoods and
we decided to check the contain because of terrorist and found that it
is full of money in different currencies, I and two of my fellow
officers took a decision and decided to move some of the fund away
because it was too much for us to carry, I took away (10 million
Euros), and fly to United Kingdom for safety in a security firm.
I
have therefore decided to contact you and turn over this amount in your
favor so that we can move the funds immediately, be assured that there
are practically no risk involved whatsoever as due process will be
followed at all times. The opportunity is now because the government
which i served is no more in power since 2003 and have decided to offer
you 35% for your assistance and effort you rendered to handle the
transaction.
You may please reply to this email. aliahmed.ali552@gmail.com
Ali.

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.
