[ 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 Friend, I Am Mr. Gabriel Johnson the Manager, Bills And Exchange
at the Foreign Remittance Department in a Bank.Actually, I have a very
urgent & confidential Business Proposition for you & for our overall
mutual interest. On the 6th of March2001, our Customer, an American
National, late Jeffrey Collman, an Oil Merchant / Contractor with the Federal
Government of Nigeria, deposited, a valued amount of US$32Million in
my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarded
address but got no reply. After a month we sent a reminder, & finally
we discovered from his contract employers NNPC, thatlate Jeffrey
Collman, until his death six years ago in a ghastly terrorist attack to
American Airlines Flight 11, from Boston, Massachusetts, to Los Angeles,
California, crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC)
with 86 people on board. All occupants of the Aeroplane unfortunately
lost their lives. On further investigation, I found out that he did not
leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his Next of kin were fruitless. I
therefore made further investigation and discovered that late Jeffrey
Collman, did not declare any Next of kin in all his official documents.
This sum US$32Million is still floating in the bank and the interest
is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No
one will come forward to claim it. According to Nigerian Laws, at the
expiration of 8years, the money will revert to the Ownership of the
Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my
proposal is that i will like you as a foreigner to stand in as a Next
of kin of late Jeffrey Collman. This is simple. All I require is your
honest and co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee
that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law. I will want you to send to me on
your return email the following information for the transfer in your
favor. 1. Your full names as the Beneficiary of the Fund. 2. Your contact
address. 3. Your private phone and fax numbers, Let's consider that our
ratio of sharing will be as stated Thus; 1. I as the Originator of the
Fund will take 60% of the transferable Fund. 2. You as the Manager of
the Fund will take 40% of the transferable Fund. Most importantly,
CONFIDENTAILITY as what I saw as the life wire to the success of the
transfer of this Fund must have to be emulated between you and i. You have to
use this media to promise me that you will not in anyway expose the
content of this transaction to anybody be it your Friends, Colleagues and
Co-Workers. I will also want you to send your reply to this email as
soon as you get this mail to enable us discuss on the modalities and
processes for success of this transaction. Thanks for your anticipated
cooperation and understanding. I wait for your kind response. Remain
blessed. Mr. Gabriel Johnson. get back to me via this email

REQUEST FOR A
BUSINESS TRANSACTION
FROM: MR. ANTHONY ZINI.
Dear McGroyne,
I
am ANTHONY
ZINI, a native of South Africa
currently residing in Johannesburg
.I am a civil servant working with the department of Minerals and
Energy in South
Africa.I
would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail
confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by
as a result of this mail. I contacted you independently of our
investigation and no one is informed of this communication. Please, to
explain my reason and the importance of my writing to you, I am
requesting your assistance in order to redeem an investment made with
the South African Mining Corporation, in which a STAFF OF MINING CONSULTANT FIRM
IN SOUTH AFRICA contacted you earlier
concerning the said investment,which now valued FIFTEEN MILLION, U.S.
DOLLARS (U.S.$15.
000,000.00) was purchased by Mr. TERRY McGROYNE[coded account name].
and contracted to the South African Mining Corporation in September
1977. This redeemable investment interest has now matured and has been
cleared for disbursement since March of 1999. Since then there has been
an extensive global wide attempt to locate and notify any living
relatives of Mr. Terry that he died in December of 1987. We have
confirmed through three independent search agencies that there are no
living relatives in whose favor the investment can be paid. Being that
two senior colleagues and myself are working as staffs in the account
department of the Mining Corporation and Remittance Department of the
South African Reserve bank, we have access to all Mr. Terry’s
information; we can claim this money with you. All we need to do is
file this claim proclaiming you as the actual beneficiary.
The
investigation has come to an end. My proposal; you share similar
details to the late fellow; I am prepared to place you in a position to
instruct the firm to release the deposit to you as the closest
surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share
the money with you. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of
kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 35%
for you and 65% for my colleagues and me. I would have gone ahead to
ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight
line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. But on the other
hand, you with the same very name as the original depositor would
easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim. I assure you that I
could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply
inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to Mr. Terry,
I will then officially communicate with the firm and instruct them to
release the deposit to you. With these two things: all is done. The
alternative would be for us to have the firm directly send the funds to
another bank with you as account holder. This way there will be no need
for you to think of receiving the money from them we can fine-tune this
based on our interactions. I am aware of the consequences of this
proposal.
If
you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a
conclusion. I wish to inform you that you should contact me via e-mail
channels; I repeat, Contact me only through the numbers I will provide
for you and also through the email address supplied. My official lines
are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our
level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management
Policy. Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again,
note I am a family man, with responsibility. I send you this mail not
without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know
within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and
riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I
have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my
confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting, soon.
I await your response. Please for further question contact me through
this email and
let me know if this proposal is acceptable to you.
Best
regards,
Tony
Zini
From : Mrs. Ralchan.SANKOH
And my son ELIEZER SANKOH
Abidjan Cote D�Ivoire
West Africa
Attention Please My Dear, We are writing you based on the

gathered about you and your firm from the foreign office of the Ivorian
chambers of commerce .We write you with absolute trust and confidence
which we believe can exist between us. In brief introduction
I am Mrs
Ralchan Sankoh the wife of the Sierra Leonain (R.U.F) rebel leader
Major Foday Sankoh who was captured on the 17th April 2006
and U.N/
ECOMOG peace keepers,for breaking the size fire peace
agreement signed
in Lome Togo by the O.A.U and the united nation.
In February
2006 my husband as the chief of Army staff intercepted and seized
$160,000,000 which is for secret Armination deal between president
Tijan Kabbah and a chemical company based in Moscow. He used
part of
the money for the Purchase of Arminations to fight out the
government
of dictator Tijan Kabbah of sierra Leone and also made a private
deposit of $38.5,000,000 (thirty eight million five hundred thousand
dollars)And some good quantity of crystal white gold and Diamond
weighing in a security trust company based in Abidjan. The
security
company official indeed doesn�t know the exact content of the boxes
because my late father husband deposited and declared as family
valuables.
Following
the fresh fighting that leads to my husband been captured he made
arrangement via private Jet for meand the family to leave our country
to Abidjan handing over to us the certificateof the private deposit and
the with draw agreement he made with the securitycompany and also
instructed us to transfer this money, Gold and Diamond Abroad
and make
contacts to individuals or company who can buy the Gold
and
Diamond. On our escape to cote d�ivoire armed with the
deposit
certificate of which if you so wish we can send it over to you for
confirmation. My son and I have been able to trace this company and
confirm the existence of this deposit made by my husband and as well
claim ownership of the consignment.
We
therefore solicit your assistance to assist us and provide your private
or company account for immediate transfer of this money then we
will
process our papers and come over to your country for resettlement and
investment. During our deliberation we resolve to offer you 15% of the
money for your effort and assistance 5%Will be for your local and
international expenses like your telephone bills, flight ticket and
hotel accommodation. On the strength of the above we implore you to
make an urgent schedule and visitus in Abidjan for the following
reasons.
1 To enable us know each other better
2 To have a round table discussion on what investment activities
and also discuss a suitable place for resettlement in your country
3 To enable us enter an agreement of trust on the above
subject matter.
If
you cannot be able to visit us in Abidjan we can arrange with the
diplomatic manager of the security company to use their diplomatic
means and transport this boxes containing the money, Gold and Diamond
to Europe where they have offices and we will meet there. If you are
ready to assist us get back to us through our E-mail ralchan.sankoh2007@yahoo.com
for more details and directives. Please treat us with utmost secret,
confidence and urgency as we hope to hear from You soonest .
Thanks. Best regards Yours faithful
Mrs Ralchan Sankoh And
my son.
