[ 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!!!

BRANCH MANAGER ABSA BANK 
JOHANNESBURG
SOUTH AFRICA

ATTN:
My name is Mr. John Jasper , the present Branch manager of ABSA BANK
 here in South Africa. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing
 that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you.
 I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as your assistance
 is required as a foreigner.
I used to head the accounts department in my bank head office, but last
 December I was asked to take the position of the manager of our branch
 in Johannesburg, so that was how I became the present manager and
 discovered a fortune .As I resumed on duty, I discovered an account with
 total sum of 14,500,000 USD (Fourteen million five hundred thousand in US
 Dollars) that has not been operated on for the last four years. From
 my investigations, I found out that this account belongs to one late
 Late Mr. Morris Thompson , an American great industrialist and a resident
 of Alaska, who unfortunately lost his life in the Korean Air Flight
 801, which crashed in Guam on Wednesday Flight 261, including his wife and
 their only daughter. You shall read more news about the crash on
 visiting this site, which I got during my investigation:
 http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9708/06/guam.passenger.list/
The account is escrow call account, a secret type of account in my bank
 and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning
 it, the account has no other beneficiary. I have kept a close monitoring
 of the account since then and nobody has come forward to ask about the
 money as next of kin to the late Late Mr. Morris Thompson , meaning
 that no one is aware of the account. I cannot directly take out this
 money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you
 for an assistance to claim the funds and share it with me. As the bank
 manager of my branch, I have the power to influence the release of the
 funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account,
 with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give
 you.
I am seeking your cooperation to present you as the next of kin to the
 account, so that my bank headquarters will release the fund to you.
 There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed
 under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
 law.
If you accept to work with me I want you to state how you wish us to
 share the funds in percentage but in favour on the both of us, Contact
 me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together,
 so we can go over the details.
Thanks.
 
Best Regards,
MR. JOHN JASPER

 war
in a bomb blast that hit their home.

foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Col.Hosam Hassan so that you
will be able to receive his funds.

shall then share in the ratio of 60% for me, 40% for you.Should you be
