[ 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 12th). 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 ,
 
Please bear with me for sending you this just in case you are offended
 by it as I know we don't know each. It's my believe that I am doing
 the
 lord's bidding and what is truly right in his eyes and that is what
 gives me the courage to send this email to a total stranger like you.
 Before I start, I will need to warn you that this email might contain
 the
 most shocking and unbelievable piece of news you have ever had in your
 entire life, but I trust the lord to give you enough faith and insight
 to see the sincerity in my heart.
 
I am Mrs. Sandra White, the wife of Mr. Robert White, my husband was an
 expatriate Contractor with Chevron/Texaco in Kenya for twenty years
 before he died in the year 2003. We were married for ten years without
 a
 child. My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four
 days. Before his death we both got born-again and dedicated
 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
 US$7.5 Million (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) in a
 4 year one-time fixed deposit account with a Bank in Europe . 

Presently, this money(with accrued interest) is still with the Bank and
 the management just wrote me as the next of Kin/beneficiary to the
 account that it has become DORMANT since no transaction has been
 operated
 on it since the completion of the 4 years and if I, as the beneficiary
 of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will be
 CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive
 it on my behalf because of my condition(note that you need to activate
 this account) as I can not come over. Presently, I'm in a hospital in
 Kenya (I chose to remain here since I will die closer to nature and
 the
 lord) where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I
 have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I
 have only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish to see this money
 distributed to charity organizations anywhere in the World that might
 be in
 need of it. I have already donated most of our wealth here in Kenya to
 our local church and our house after my death to an orphanage here.
 They are all totalling almost 800,000 USD. Because relatives and
 friends
 have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live
 with the agony of entrusting futher this responsibility to any one of
 them any more. 
 
Please, I beg you to help me Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect
 the Funds from the Bank. I want a person that is God-fearing who will
 use
 this money to fund orphanages and charities and widows. 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 husbands' relatives are not Christians and I don't want my
 husbands' hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want
 a situation where this money will be used in a rough manner. Hence the
 reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death since I
 know where I am going to. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of
 the Lord. I will not communicate with you by phone in this regard
 because of my soundless voice and presence of my husbands' relatives
 around me always. I don't want them to know about this development as
 I
 know all they are interested in is my husband's wealth and not my
 health.
 
 
Hoping that you will assist me.
Mrs. Sandra White.

Dear Beloved In Christ

From: Mrs. Juliet Edward

RE: PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

I am the above named person from Ghana. I was married to
Frank Edward who worked with Chevron / texaco in Egypt for
twenty years before he died in the year 2002.

We were married for twenty seven without a child. He died
after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before
his death we were both born again Christians. Since his
death I decided not to re-marry. When my late husband was
alive he deposited the sum of USD$3 Million (three Million
U.S. Dollars) with a Bank in Nigeria . Presently, this money
is still with the Bank in Nigeria .

Recently, 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 stroke sickness. Having known my
condition I decided to donate this fund to Charity
Organisation that will utilize this money the way I am
going to instruct herein.

I want a church or God fearing person to utilize this fund
for Charity, 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 giveth. I took this decision upon myself because I
don't have any child that will inherit this money and my
husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my
husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I
don't 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 since it's a necessary end and it
will come when it must. Again, to the children of God, it's
not the end of life but the beginning of an everlasting
life.

I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.
Exodus 14:14 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 i am in the
hospital with a laptop undergoing treatment for cancer of
lungs and that have talk my ability to talk on phone.

With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your
reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank In Nigeria. I
will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove
you as the original-beneficiary of this fund. I want you
know that there is alot of poor people suffering with
different king of disease and nobody come to their aid, I
want to see that this money is invested among the charity
organisation, and for the conversation as soon as the money
enter your account take 0 of the total money , while p will
be for the work of God.

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 in Truth because wealth acquisition without
Christ is vanity upon vanity all will be vanity. Please
always be prayerful all through your life. Please assure me
that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

CERTIFICATE OF CLAIM THAT WILL PROVE YOU AS THE NEW
BENEFICIARY OF THIS FUND. GET BACK TO ME WITH THIS EMAIL
ADDRESS: juliet_edward2003@yahoo.fr

I await your urgent reply.

Yours In Christ,
Mrs Juliet Edward
