[ 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 10th). 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!!!

United Kingdom.

Dear Friend,

 I am Dr.Terry Daniels, Managing Director, Barclays Bank Plc,
London,United Kingdom. I am writing following an opportunity in my
 office
that will be of immense benefit to both of us.

 On January 11th 2000, a German estate tycoon, late Mr. Andreas
Schranner,deposited £10,000,000 (Ten Million British Pounds Sterling)
under our portfolio management department for a period of Two (2)
 years,
and the deposit matured on the 18th of February 2002 with over 100%
growth which amounted to a total of £20,520,000 (Twenty Million, Five
Hundred and Twenty Thousand British Pounds Sterling).

 Upon maturity, a routine notification was sent to his forwarding
 address
all to no avail. Several attempts were made to contact him but without
responses. After a month, another reminder was sent to him from my desk
and evidently I discovered from his contract employers that Mr. Andreas
Schranner died in the plane crash of Air France Concorde flight 4590
which crashed on July 25th 2000. On further indebt investigation, I
discovered that he died with his wife and entire family, as all efforts
to trace members of his neither family nor relatives proved futile. You
shall read more about the crash on visiting this site.
Http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

 Mr. Andreas Schranner, has long passed away and since his death none
 of
his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims for this
money as the heir. He died without identifying with anybody about these
funds, which has since matured and the roll-over on the funds also
expired. This sum of £20,520,000 (Twenty Million, Five Hundred and
 Twenty
Thousand British Pounds Sterling) is still in my possession in my Bank
lifeless and unnoticed because there will never be a claim on the
 funds.
All material, immaterial documents and certificates relating to the
 funds
is also in my possession.

 Against this backdrop, I am proposing to you to stand in as the next
 of
kin to Late Mr. Andreas Schranner. The banking law and guidelines her
stipulates that at the expiration of eight (8) years such funds will be
transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds. The money will be
approved into your account and subsequently, we shall share in the
 ratio:
60% for us and 40% for you as gratification for assistance rendered. I
will visit your country for the disbursement, according to the
percentages indicated above once this money gets into your account.

 I humbly crave your indulgence in portraying sincerity towards this
matter, as trust stands to be our watchword in this transaction. Ou
assurance is that your role is risk free to accord this transaction the
legality it deserves as with all modalities put in place we are certain
in actualizing a hitch free transfer of the funds without any
impediments. My position with my bank already guarantees the swift
execution of this project. We will discuss much in details when I do
receive your response. Kindly signify your willingness to assist by
sending me an email for further procedures relating to this
 transaction.

Kind regards.
Dr.Terry Daniels.

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.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein while i am Hoping to receive your urgent reply.
Have a Wonderful Day.

Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs Suseng Law.

DONATION FOR THE LORD
From: Mrs OLU  WINDY
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.I am the above name person from Sierra-Leone. I am married to Dr WINDY EMEE who worked with Sierra Leonian Embassy in South Africa for nine years before he died in the year 2001. 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 Christians and we lived happilly. Since his death, I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is really against.
When my late husband was alive he secured $15Million (Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars) with financial institution here in Cote D'Ivoire. Presently, this money is still with the financial institution. Recently, my Doctor told me that from all the test conducted on my health, I am not going to last long, expecially, due to my cancer and stroke. But what disturbs me most now is stroke.
Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to churches or Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct. I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund churches, Orphanages and Widows. Also, the propagation of the work of God, building and maintaining the house of God through this money, is very important.
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. I don?t want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers, for their own selfish interest and in an ungodly manner. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom 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, and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me sometimes. I don't want them to know about this development, but I know that With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Financial institution in Ivory coast. I will also give you all information regarding the deposit of this money. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and your church to always pray for me because God work in misterious ways. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Who ever 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 for a church or christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you soon.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs OLU  WINDY
