[ 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!!!

I write, asking for your indulgence in re-profiling funds to tune of
Twelve Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$12.8m)
which we want to keep safely overseas under your supervision.
In other words, we would like you to receive the said funds on our
behalf. The Funds were derived over time from a project awarded to a
foreign firm by my Department, and presently the actual contract cost
have been paid to the original project executors, leaving the balance
in
the tune of the said amount which we have in principle obtained
approval
to remit
overseas.
Kindly pardon the use of a medium informal as this for reaching out to
you to make a request of great importance to us.
Currently, I work as a Director of Projects at The Department of
Minerals
& Energy here in Pretoria . I have the authority and approval of my
partners involved in this transaction to negotiate a suitable
compensation for your participation and I propose 22.2 percent, while
we
also propose that we receive 46.6 percent and 31.2 percent be
earmarked
for purposes
of taxation.
This endeavor has a minimal risk factor on your part provided you treat
it with the utmost discretion. You are advised to reach me through
email
for further clarifications.
I am available for further clarification via email.
I kindly wait to hear from you.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. James Nkono

Mrs. MrS. Mabel Owen.
Beloved in the Lord Jesus Christ, PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE
CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above named person 76years old woman from #82 FEBAY AVAUNE
LIVERPOOL LONDON. I am married to Dr.Alan George Owen,We were married for
Thirteen (13)years without a child. He died after a brief illnessthat
lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again
Christians.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of(4.500,000.00
(Four Million Five Hundred Thousand U.k. Pounds) with the (Barclays BANK)
in London.
My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due
to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my partial stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this funds to church or
better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money
the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund
churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that
the house of God is maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that grivet. I
took this decision because I donthave any child that will inherit this
money and my husband's relatives are not Christians and I dont wantmy
husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers.
I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly
manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. 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. With God all things are possible.
As soon as I eceive your reply I will want you to give me your
Name:...........................
Address:........................
Sex/age:.............................
Phone:................................
Occupation:............................
I will send a copy to the bank. For identification when you will
contact them. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the
lord is my shepherd and I shall not want. My happiness is that I lived a
life of a worthy Christian.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Note, this must be kept confidentially from eyes and ears of my husband's
family. Hoping to hear from you.

Mrs. MrS. Mabel Owen
Dear Sir/Madam,
As you read this, I do not want you to feel sorry for me because
I believe everyone will die someday.
My
name is Ahmed Yara a merchant in Cotonou, Benin Republic . I
have been
diagnosed with esophageal cancer and have been in the
hospital for a
very long time. It has defied all forms of medical treatment,
and
right now I have about few months to live, according to the
medical
experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I
never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my
business and
wealth. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was
always
hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was
the
only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now
know that
there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all
the money
in the world.
I believe when God gives me a second chance to
come to this world again, I would live my life a different
way from
how I have lived it till date. Now that God is calling me, I
have
willed and shared most of my properties and assets to my
immediate and
extended family members, including few close friends.
I want
God to be merciful to me and accept my soul, so I have
decided to give
alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of
the last
good deeds I do on earth before Gods call. So far, I have
distributed
money to some charity organizations in the U.K, Algeria and
Ghana. Now
that my health has been deteriorated so badly, I cannot do
this myself
anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my
accounts
and distribute the money which I have there to charity
organization in
Bulgaria and Pakistan,they refused and kept the money to
themselves.
Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be
contended
with what I have left for them.
The last of my money which
no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of twenty eight
million
dollars united states dollars ($28.000.000) that I have with
the
security company in Benin here. I would want you to help me
collect
this deposit on my behalf and distribute it to charity
organizations
in your country.
I would want you to keep 20% of the funds to
yourself and share the rest to charity organizations in your
country.
Reply this email as soon as possible to this confidential
Email
address (hmdyara@voila.fr)
even if you are not capable to handle this transaction on
mybehalf.
My regards and Love to you and your family .
God be with you,
Ahmed Yara

that he neither left a will nor a contactable next of kin or an
