[ 419 SCAM E-MAILS ]

Below are just a few random samples of the many 419 scam e-mails that I received in just one day in January, 2008 - (the 9th). Each one of these is a scam of one kind or another.

While there are many e-mails here, these e-mails are just a very small fraction of the actual amount of scam e-mails sent out each day by 419 scammers. Thus, if you've received a suspicious e-mail that isn't listed here on these pages, it doesn't mean that it isn't a scam. In fact, if you receive anything even remotely similar to any of the scam e-mails you see here or if you arrived at this page via an internet search, I can 100% guarantee you...YOU HAVE RECEIVED A SCAM E-MAIL!

To see what this site is really all about, visit The Games section.

There are many different types of 419 scam (examples) but they all promise you something (fortune, job, loan, lottery prize, gold dust, 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.

It's important to note that any real people or legitimate organizations mentioned in these e-mails have absolutely no connection with these scammers! None of the scammers use their real names. Sometimes they take on the identity of real people to help them convince you that they are genuine. Whatever these scammers tell you, DON'T believe a word of it!!!

Estimado en cristo,
 
Te saludo en nombre de nuestro señor Jesús Cristo nuestro señor que soy señora joy  peter  de República de IRANK, yo me caso con Sr. joseph Akaolisa  para quien trabajó con la embajada IRANK de Ivory Coast en nueve años antes de que él murió en 08/03/2005.
 
Nos casaron por once años sin un niño. Él murió después de una breve enfermedad que duró por solamente cuatro días. Antes de su muerte éramos ambos otra vez nacido cristiano. Puesto que su muerte que decidía no casar otra vez o no conseguir a un niño fuera de mi hogar contra el cual la biblia está.
 
Cuando mi último marido estaba vivo él depositó la suma de $3.500million de estado unido dólares en un banco en Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire África del oeste. Actualmente, este dinero todavía está en el banco. Recientemente, mi doctor me dijo que que no durar para los ocho meses próximos debido al problema del cáncer.
 
El que me disturba es más mi enfermedad del movimiento. Sabiendo mi condición decidía donar este fondo a una organización de la caridad que utilizará este dinero la manera que voy a mandar adjunto. Deseo una organización que utilice este fondo para los orphanages, escuelas, iglesias, viudas, propagando la palabra del dios y se esfuerce que la casa del dios está mantenida. La biblia nos hizo para entender que “bendecida es la mano que da”.
 
Tomé esta decisión porque no tengo ningún niño que herede este dinero y mis parientes del marido no son cristianos y no deseo los esfuerzos de mi marido de ser utilizado por la gente que no cree en dios.
 
No deseo una situación donde este dinero será utilizado en una manera diabólica. Esta es la razón por la cual estoy tomando esta decisión. No estoy asustado de muerte por lo tanto que sé adónde voy. Sé que voy a estar en el pecho del señor. El éxodo 14 CONTRA 14 dice que “el señor luchará mi caso y yo llevará a cabo mi paz”.
 
No necesito ninguna comunicación del teléfono en este respeto debido a mi salud por lo tanto la presencia de los parientes de mi marido alrededor de mí siempre. No quisiera que supieran sobre este desarrollo. Con el dios todas las cosas son posibles. Tan pronto como reciba tu contestación te daré el contacto del banco en Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire África del oeste.
 
También te publicaré una letra que te pruebe el actual beneficiario de este fondo del ministerio de la justicia, Cote d'Ivoire. Quisiera que tú y la iglesia rogaran siempre para mí porque el señor es mi pastor. Mi felicidad es que viví una vida de un cristiano digno.

Dear Sir/Madam,
 
I am Mr.Joseph S. Brown, Managing Director, Chevron Nigeria. I am
 contacting you in respect to a portfolio amounting to $35,520,000 USD
 (Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States Dollar)
 invested by a wealthy Asian woman, Mrs. Nina Wang, who died April 18,
 2007 of ovarian cancer at the age of 69. She was Asia's richest woman
 and had no children. 
 
On the October 2001, Mrs. Nina Wang visted Nigeria, seeking investment
 opportunity in the Nigeria oil industry, where she eventually invested
 $35,520,000 USD (Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred and Twenty Thousand
 United States Dollar) under our portfolio management department for
 five years and the deposit matured on the 18th of October 2006 with over
 40% growth, Mrs. Nina wang was very ill during this time. I have tried
 to reach her but all effort made was proving abortive.

A declaration was made on 20th of may 2007 by Chan Chun-chuen's lawyer,
 Mr. Jonathan Midgley of Haldanes, the representative lawyer of Chan
 Chun-chuen, during a news conference in Hong Kong and a notice was
 published in the local newspapers on April 20, 2007 declared that Chan
 Chun-chuen is the sole beneficiary of the Hong Kong tycoon Mrs. Nina Wang's
 multi-billion dollar fortune, among other cliams made by him but not the
 investment with our company was ever mentioned. 
 
Mrs. Nina Wang has since passed away without stating her next of kin
 because she invested the funds in our establishment at a point when her
 husband was declared missing, though many believed then that her husband
 was kidnap by some unknown people to enable them get a ransom from
 her, and coupled with the fact that she was an orphan and also had no
 child, she never presented us with her next of kin, she died willing her
 wealth to her fortune teller name Chan Chun-chuen.

This sum of $35,520,000 USD (Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred and
 Twenty Thousand United States Dollar) is still under my control,
 unsuspecious and unnoticed, overdue to be released to Mrs. Nina Wang. No one will
 ever lay claim to the funds and all material documents and
 certificates relating to the investment is also in my possession.
 
I will like to seek for your permission as a partner, so that we can
 move her overdue claims into your account. The money will be paid into
 your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 35% for you
 and the balance of 5% will be responsible for the expenses that we may
 incure in the course of the transaction. 

There is no risk, as all the paperwork for this project will be done by
 an attorney whom we shall appoint and with my position, the successful
 execution of this project is guaranteed. If you are interested, please
 feel free to contact me immediately. Upon your response, I shall then
 provide you with further information's and modalities that will help
 you understand the transaction.
 
You should observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that
 this project would be most profitable for both parties because I shall
 require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
 
Awaiting your urgent reply.

Thanks and regards.
Mr.Joseph S. Brown.

My Dear Beloved in the Lord,

My Name is Mrs Suseng Law,a National of South Africa, I am married to late Engr.Joseph Law who work with the Shell Petroleum Development Company in Nigeria before he died in the year 2001 after a brief illness that lasted for only five days.We were married for Seventeen years with a daughter (Sonia) who later died in a motor accident. Before the untimely death of my husband we were both Born again Christians.Since after his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of ($20,000,000.00 USD) Twenty Million United States Dollars with a Bank whose name is whithed until we open up communication.

This money is still with the Bank, Recently Following my ill health, my Doctor told me that I may not last for the next Couple Of Months due to my cancer problem.The one that disturbs me most is my inability to move around.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Christain organization (Church) that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein,according to the desire of my late husband before his death.

I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way.This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace". I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always.I don't want them to know about this development.With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank.I will also issue you the Letter Of Authority that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund.I want you and the Church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard, My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another individual for this same purpose.

Since I cannot trace his family I decided to contact you to act as Mr. Morris Thompson's next of kin, to claim the fund on his behalf because the security house will not let me take custody of the fund. Note :that if this fund is left unclaimed, the security house will confiscate and transfer it to their vault as unclaimed.

Dear Beloved One,
May The peace of the lord Jesus christ be with you ,It is with tears
 that I am writing this message to you from a hospital bed, 
 
I am Mrs Helen Dickson. A widow to late Mr. David Dickson, who worked
 with Elf Petroleum Company in France for nine years before he died in
 the year 2002. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died
 after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. 
 
Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I
 decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which
 the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the
 sum of $18.5 Million with a Bank in Benin Republic Presently this money
 is still in the custody of the Bank in Benin . 
 
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight
 months due to cancer problem, but I know that my doctor is not God.
 Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Church,
 Organisation or good person that will utilize this money the way I am going to
 instruct herein. 
 
I want a Church, Organisation or good person that will use this fund
 for Orphanages, Widows and other peoples that need help and also
 propagating the word of God and to endeavours that the house of God is
 maintained. 
 
The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth "
 I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit
 this money and my husband relatives are not Christians not even good at
 all because they are the one that are responsible for the death of my
 husband in other to have all my late husband properties and I don't
 want my husband's effort to be used by those that conspired for his death
 or for ungodly things. 
 
This is why I am taking this decision, I am not afraid of death hence I
 know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosoms of
 the Lord. Exodus 14 Vs 14 says that "the Lord will fight my case and I
 shall hold my peace". I don’t need any telephone communication in this
 regard because of my health hence the presences of my husband’s
 relatives are around me always. I don't want them to know about this
 development and 
I know that with God all things are possible to those who trust in Him
 and to those who work by faith. As soon as I received your reply I
 shall give you the contact of the Bank in Benin . 
 
I will also issue a letter of authorization to the bank that will prove
 you the present beneficiary of this money. I also want you, Church or
 Organization to always pray for me because the Lord is my only
 Shephard. 
 
My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that
 wants to serve the Lord must serve Him in spirit and truth. Please
 always be prayerful through your life. 
 
Contact me on this email address sis.hellen_dickson@yahoo.com Hoping to
 receive your response immediately, 
 
Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord. 
I remain yours sister in Christ. 
Mrs Helen Dickson.
