[ 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!!!

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.

FROM THE DESK OF : TODD WILLIAMS

This mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore
 it as serious could come into your mind but
please consider it with a divine wish and accept it with a deep sense
 of humility. Before proceeding, I wish to
introduce myself to you; I am Todd Williams a staff of Natwest Bank plc
 London. I am the head of the accounts
department.I am pleased to get across to you for a very urgent and
 profitable business proposal which I believe will
profit the both of us after completion. I contacted you after a careful
 thought that you might be capable of handling
this business transaction, which i explained below. The sum of ( £
 18,500,000.00 Million Pounds), has been floating as
unclaimed since 2000 in my bank as all efforts to get across the
 relatives of our client who deposited the money have
hit the stones. There is this immigrant Mr. Andreas schranner, property
 magnate who was based in the U.K., who happens
to be one of our very good clients. On the 25Th of July 2000, Mr.
 Andreas schranner, his wife Maria , their daughter
Andréa eich, her husband Christian, and their children katharina and
 maximilian all died in the air France concord
plane crash bound for New York in their plan for a world cruise.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

All attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. My position here
 at my office requires me to investigate and I
therefore made further investigations and discovered that Mr. Andreas
 Schranner did not declare any next of kin or
relation in all his official documents, including his bank deposit
 paperwork in my bank.According to the British Law.
The money will revert to the ownership of the British government if
 nobody applies to claim the fund. To avoid this
money being sent to the British treasury as unclaimed funds, I have
 decided to seek your assistance to have you stand as
his next of kin so that the said fund ( £ 18,500,000.00 million
 pounds), would be released in your name as the next of
kin and paid into your account.All documents and proof that will have
 you claim this fund will be forwarded to you
without any stress upon your response to this mail more soon, i want to
 informyou that i have unanimously agreed to
offer you ( £7.2M ) of the total sum for the assistance and role you
 are going to play in this transaction,(£2.8 M
)will be given to charity organisations in your country with your
 supervision while the remaining will be for me. Please
send your confidential telephone and fax number in your reply to this
 business transaction.

My Dear Respectful One,

With due respect and humility I write you this letter which I believe
 you would be of great assistance to me and my younger sister we are Miss
 Anna Chuks/Miss Joy Chuks the two Daughters of late former Director
 of finance,Mr James Chuks from Sierra-Leone diamond and mining
 corporation.I must confess my agitation is real, and my words is my bond, in
 this proposal.

My late father diverted this fund acquired from the overinfluencing of
 price of sales/purchasing of rawmaterials, now he has deposited the
 money with BANK here Abidjan COTE D'IVOIRE BY FIXED DEPOSIT FORM,and he
 attached a strict clause to the fund in bracket(PAY AS RECEIVED),where I
 am residing under political assylum with my younger sister Joy who is
 17 years old.

Now the war in my country is over with the help of ECOMOG soldiers, the
 present government of Sierra-Leone has revoked the passport of all
 officers who served under the former regime and now ask countries to expel
 such person at the same time freeze their account and confiscate their
 asset, it is on this notethat I am contacting you, all I needed from
 you is to furnish me with your bank particulars:

 evacuation document in your favour as my beneficiary.

They want you to confirm your date of visiting Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire,
 so that we will visit their bank office together.

As soon as I receive this detail information, the Bank will be
 instructed to effect the change of Account to your name as my WILL beneficiary
 .

For you to assist me transfer this money in your private bank account,
 the said amount is (Twentyseven Million Dollars) $27 Million
 ($27,000.000.00).I am compensating you with 10% of the total money amount, now
 all my hope is banked on you and I really wants to invest this money in
 your country, were their is stability of Government, political and
 economic welfare.Honestly I want you to believe that this transactionis real
 and never a joke. 

My late father Mr James Chuks gave me the photocopies of the
 certificate of deposit issued to me by BANK here ABIDJAN on the date of deposit,
 and he called me closer to his bed side before his call to
 glory(R.I.P)that i should pray to God first,before contacting any foreginer and he
 warned mestricly that i should avoid african men with their greedy and
 evil mind since this is the only legacy weare inheriting from him.

Sir/Madam,this is for you to be clarified because, I do not expose my
 selfto any body I see, I believe that you are able to keep this
 transaction secret for me because this money is the hope of our life, it is
 important.

Please call me immediately after you must have gone through my message
 fill free and make it urgent.

That is the reason why I offered you 10% of the total money amount, and
 in case of any other necessary expenses you might incure during this
 transaction inluding your telephone calls.

N.B Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chipinvestment
 opportunities which is risky free which I can invest with this money when it
 is transferred to your account and you will be our guiardian,
 personally I am interested in estate management and hotel business, please
 advise me.

Call me back immediately you receive this message for more explanation.
And promisse me and Rose my younger sister to be a father considering
 our situation and not to betray us.

Thanks and God bless
