Dear Friend,
I will like to solicit your help in a business
proposition, which is by nature very confidential and a
Top Secret. I know that a transaction of this magnitude

end of this endeavour.

Barclays Bank Plc London-England and had a balance of US$10.5
million which the bank now expects his next of kin to
claim as the beneficiary..
We have made valuable efforts to get his people to no avail as

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.
If you receive one of these scam mails, simply delete it as you would any other spam mails.
