[ 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!!!

BEST REGARD,
Mr.Mike Miller,
co.ordinator,

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

ENGLISH SECTION.BANK OF AFRICA (BOA-CI)
AV.JOSEPH ANOMA.01 BP 4132 ABJ.01
ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE
(OLD IVORY COAST)
WEST AFRICA.
Dear,
 I am MR.ASSIE SIDIBE, the director in charge of
auditing and accounting section of Bank Of Africa in Abidjan, Cote
 D'lvoire with due respect and regards, I have decided to contact you on a
 business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the
 end of the transaction.

During our investigation and auditing in this bank last quarter of
 dec,2007 my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to
 one of our foreign customers Late Mr.Morris Thompson an American who
 unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight
 261 which crashed on January 31-2000, including his wife and only
 daughter. You shall read more about the crash on visiting this website.

http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html

the funds has been dormant in his account with this bank without any
 claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation
 before our discovery to this development last dec,07 month.
Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and
 partner to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful
 during the
time of execution.The said amount is USD$9M (NINE Million United States
 Dollars Only).

Meanwhile all the whole arrangements to put claim over this fund as the
 bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and
 transfer this money to a foriegn account has been put in place and
 directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you
 indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your
 self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position
 in this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a
 foriegn account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during
 the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual
 reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims
 as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and
 also present a foriegn account where he will need the money to be
 re-transfered into on his request as it may be after due verification and
 clarification by designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.
 On smooth conclusion of this transaction , you will be entitled to 30%
 of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take
 care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also
 telephone bills, while 60% will be for me and my partners. Please,you
 have been advised to keep top secret as we are still in service and
 intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you soonest.I
 will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you
 confirm the money in your account. And ask us to come down to your country
 for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages
 previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any
 country you advise us to invest in.All other necessary information will be
 sent to you when I hear from you.I suggest you get back to me as soon
 as possible stating your wish in this deal.
Yours faithfully,
MR.ASSIE SIDIBE.
