[ 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!!!

Dear, 

Good day, Firstly, I apologize for sending you this sensitive
 information via e-mail instead of a Certified mail/Post-mail. This is due to the
 urgency and importance of the information.Hence, this letter to you. I
 humbly crave your indulgence to read this e-mail with all seriousness
 of purpose devoid of any doubt in your mind because this project is
 based on trust, confidence and Sincerity of purpose in order to have an
 acceptable meeting of the minds. I am forty five(45)years old American
 established Lawyer. One of my clients Engr.Michael Keogh a German Citizen
 (Now deceased) hereinafter shall be referred to as "My Client". 

There is absolutely going to be a great doubt and distrust in your
 heart in respect of this email, coupled with the fact that,so many
 individuals have taken possession of the Internet to facilitate their nefarious
 deeds,thereby making it extremely difficult for genuine and legitimate
 business class persons to get attention and recognition.There is no
 way for me to know whether I will be properly understood, but it is my
 duty to write and reach out to you as a person of transparency,honesty
 and high calibre.

Six years ago, My Client successfully executed a contract for the
 British Government worth $65.3 million dollars. A part payment of $35million
 was paid to my client, while the balance of $30.3million was still
 unpaid before my client died in a ghastly Car crash. Please visit this
 site to confirm for yourself. 

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

However, all my efforts to locate the possible next of kin proved
 abortive. Until his sudden demise, He was not married and was 44years
 old.NOW THE CRUX OF THIS LETTER is that the British Government is fully
 paying all Contractors who have successfully executed their contracts. My
 client is among those due to be paid in this second quarter payment
 schedule. As his personal attorney before his sudden death, I have been
 officially notified and instructed to forward particulars of my client's
 next of kin so that he/she can be paid the outstanding £30.3 Million
 dollars. 

I know he did not leave any valid WILL because He died inte-state. This
 funds will therefore be paid to whosoever I present to the government
 or his bank as the possible next of kin . In a nutshell,I intend to
 channel this funds to the account of a clever but reliable person who upon
 successful payment of the money, will earn 50% thereof, while 50% will
 be for me. Your nationality does not matter as all modalities have
 been perfected and put in place to pay whoever I present as the next of
 kin. 

This transaction will take about 6 (six) working days only to conclude
 as soon as you indicate your intrest to assist me. I shall role out the
 modalities for the actualisation of this project as soon as I receive
 your response. Please, do accord this transaction the confidentiality
 it deserves. 

Best Regards, 

Jefferson Taylor.(LLB,LLM,)S. 
(Principal Partner) 

NB: You don't have to be a blood relative of my client to claim this
 inheritance .Also help me with your phone numbers so we discuss better.

Acrra,Ghana, 
 
Hello, 

 Pardon me for not having the pleasure of knowing your mindset before
 making you 
this offer and it is utterly confidential and genuine by virtue of its
 nature. I am Mr Boateng Essien, the branch manager of the international
 Commercial Bank, Kaneshie First Light Branch Accra Ghana . I write to
 solicit your assistance in a funds transfer deal involving US$ 5.3m. 

 This fund has been stashed out of the excess profit made last year by
 my branch office of the International Commercial Bank of Ghana which I
 am the manager. I have already submitted an approved end-of-the-year
 report for the year 2007 to my head office here in Accra-Ghana and they
 will never know of this excess. I have since then, placed this amount on
 a Non-Investment Account without a beneficiary. 

Upon your response, I will configure your name on our database as
 holder of 
the Non-Investment Account. I will then guide you on how to apply to my
 head office
for the Account Closure/ bank-to-bank remittance of the funds to your
 designated
bank account. 


 If you concur with this proposal, I intend for you to retain 30% of
 the funds while
70% shall be for me. 

 Your earliest response would be appreciated on the regards.

 MRS. CECILIA CHAN SANA
CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER
HEAD OFFICE CITIBANK N.A BANK TWR.
MKT AVENUE. COR.H.V DELA COSTA STR
PHILIPPINES.

Good Day,

Let me start by introducing myself, I am MRS CECILIA CHAN SANA, CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER CITIBANK N.A BANK.

I am writing you this letter based on the latest development at my bank, which I will like to bring to your personal edification . I am a top official in charge of client accounts in CITIBANK N.A BANK. inside the Philippines.

In 2001, my client was going through a horrendous divorce in the United States of America and was on the verge of losing most of his estate to his vicious and diabolical wife. As a result of this alarming predicament, my client came to me
with a very brilliant idea. He transferred some funds, ten million two hundred thousand dollars ($10.2m) to a fixed deposit account in my bank under an alias which only the two of us knew about as the confidentiality of the matter was
necessary for his protection.

Due to his untimely death in early 2002, the funds have been sitting in the account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do something about it. This is where you come in.

I located you through an agency that helps seek people by their email.
My client did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit.

Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to our client so that you will be able to receive his funds. I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we can come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to my client.

All that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job.
 
The allocation of our money will be as follows: 20%($2.02m) to  part in this, 75% for me and my partners and 5% for any unforeseeable expenses we may incure.

Again, I will be in charge of everything else. I will assume all responsibilities for this endeavor so you don't have to worry about any legal ramifications, just what you will do with all that money. Your urgent response is highly anticipated so please email me through this email address
(chan.sana11@gmail.com) for more details on this transaction as soon as possible.

This should be kept very secret and confidential, I believe you know.

Kind Regards,
Mrs. Cecilia C. Sana
