[ 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 11th). 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!!!

From Abraham Vincent Otti.the only
surviving son of late Vincent Otti
who was untill his death the the second-in-command in Lord’s Resistance
Army Northern Uganda.
He died as a result of his enthusiasm for
peace against the wishes of the Comander in Cheif Joseph Kony .I am
presently under hiding as Cheif Joseph Kony has vow to eliminate all
his surving family.My Mother and three sibblings were killed along with
my father. I conducted a search in his secret underground vault right
inside the family house which hasn't been accessed since his death, I
made some interesting discoveries, bank documents of $65.8Million
dollar deposited in a Swiss bank, and a cash deposit of (25Million
British Pounds Sterlings) deposited with a security company in Europe.
Unfortunately the Swiss account is presently unaccessible.
My
aim of contacting you is to nominate you as the beneficiary of this
deposit with the Security company in Europe for the
transfer of this
money to your account ,which i intend to invest in a lucrative business
out there and If this offer is acceptable by you notify me
immediately
with your full contact details to enable my lawyer reach you for more
discussions.

arrangement of delivering the $800,000.00 in cash was made with BELL
VIEW DIPLOMATIC COURIERCOMPANY LTD.
This
is their contact information.
Please,
Send them your contacts information to enable their diplomat agent
locate you immediately he arrived in your country with your BOX
.
This
is what they need from you.
1.

YOUR CURRENT HOME TELEPHONE NUMBER.
4.
YOUR CURRENT OFFICE TELEPHONE.
5.
A COPY OF YOUR PICTURE OR ID CARD.

Attention Friend:
Please accept my sincere apologizes if my email does not meet your business or personal ethics. I will first introduce myself as MR.Paul Joe, the Chief Auditor with NATWEST BANK PLC, LONDON-UK. One of our accounts, with holding balance of £12.500 000,000 (Twelve Million Five Hundred thousand pounds Sterling) has been dormant and last operated for years ago. From my investigations, the owner of the said account,Is a foreigner by name MR. JOHN SHUMEJDA who died along with his entire family in crash at Birmingham Airport on 4th Jan, 2002. View this website for verification http://www.cwn.org.uk/business/a-z/a/agco/2002/01/020104-air-crash.htm
Since then, nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money, as he has no family member that has any knowledge as to the existence of either the account or the funds; I have confidently discussed this issue with some of the bank officials and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal with. My proposition to you, is to seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin and beneficiary of this late client, So that the proceeds of this account valued a huge sum shall be paid to you, and then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed percentage of 30% for you, while 60% for me and others involved, 10% shall be used for miscelenious expenses while the remainder shall be given to a reputable charity home because the money is owned by a deceased person. This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act, funds will be released to you after necessary processes have been followed.
Let me hear from you through my private E-mail (pauljp2@walla.com)as soon as you get this message, so we can proceed.
Best Regards, Mr Paul Joe
Goodday ,
I hope this message
will meet you in a good condition of health with your
family. I am yet
to disclose this secret to you regarding my late father's
deposit here
in Ghana
with SEC-POINT SECURITY COMPANY of which I want to invest into real
estate or purchase of cottages.
My name is Samuel Kafu Kemokai. I am the first
son of Chief Omoh Kemokai, the former Chairman of Sierra
Leone Mining Corporation.My father who was
the former Chairman of Sierra
Leone
Mining Corporation was brutally murdered in 2002 by the RUF
rebels due
to their selfish interest because of Diamond gems and au gold
dust in
our country.
Before my father's death, he had already acquired a vast estate and a
considerable wealth in Sierra
Leone
whereby he deposited two trunk boxes containing Thirty Three Million US
Dollars (US$33,000, 000.00) with the aforementioned company here in Accra
and my late father purposely registered them as precious items in order
not to attract the attention of the security officers, and for safety
reasons until he is ready to use the cash for investments.
Unfortunately, as an adage
says "Man proposes but God dispose" my father could not live to achieve
all his dreams. Based on this, I am seriously soliciting on your kind
assistance to help move this us$33million to your country for
investment into real estate or purchase of cottage in your good
country.
There is nothing for you to worry
about becuase this us$33million belongs to ME and I will like
to
entrust the cash in your care as my trustee. No
one knows about this
not even my cousine. You are the only person who has the true
knowledge
of the deposits in question.
I am waiting for your urgent , Thanks and best
regards,
Sam Kemokai

Then I went and deposited the Draft with FEDEX COURIER SERVICE, West Africa, I travelled out of the country for 3 Months Course and I will not come back till end of May.
What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country.
The only money you will send to the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE to deliver your Draft direct to your postal Address in your country is ($170.00 US) Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far. Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $170.00US Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.
You have to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE now for the delivery of your Draft with this information bellow: Contact Person:Mr.Smith Roland Email Address: fedex.courier_plc@live.com phone:+(234)8082777059
Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address() and Direct telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your package over there and know when it will get to your address. Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $170.00 US Dollars for their immediate action. You should also let me know through email as soon as you receive your Draft.
