Subject: Hello..
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2009 21:14:40 +0000 (17:14 EDT)
Hello;
I am Mrs. Alice Lewis by name, a British citizen; I am working in the
Lloyds TSB Bank of England as an officer that is in-charge of clients
with package and courier services. After going through your profile and
doing a little research, I have seen that you seem like an honest and
trustworthy person who can handle confidential business.
What I am
about to disclose to you is highly confidential and I believe that you
will keep my confidence. A sum of US$8,600 000.00 was moved from my
bank to a certain client through a courier services company. After two
weeks the package containing the money was returned to me, reason being
the recipient did not turn up to receive or claim it. I deposited the
package containing the money with a security Company here in England.
The
reason of contacting you is; I have decided to quite my job and
resettle in any other country and now want the money to be moved to
your country, where you will receive it and keep it safe for me until I
come over to meet with you there. What I need is someone trustworthy to
receive the money for me and I think you might fit that profile.
I
have made all the arrangements and plans to enable me to move the money
to any country of my choice without hindrance. For your assistance and
help in receiving the money, you will benefit a reasonable part of the
total money.
Reply this message as soon as you read it to let me
know your mind on this proposal. If I am convinced that you are totally
willing to cooperate with me on this assignment; I will give you my
full contact details in England and I would appreciate it
very much if you give me yours including your private phone number.
Regards,
Mrs. Alice Lewis.

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.
