[ 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 14th). 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!!!

With apologies for interference in your email box, I am compelled to introduce
myself Reverend Timothy Appiah, Director of the above mentioned charity and
humanitarian foundation. This letter comes to you simply because of the
circumstances surrounding the death of our late founder who shares the same last
name with you. He established this foundation to help less privileged minority
people and orphaned children in our society which we were doing marvelously
before his unfortunate death in 2000.

I have been called upon to conduct a standard process
Investigation/Recommendation on behalf of The Trust Bank Ghana. This involves
private funds deposited with The Trust Bank Ghana, as a miracle from God the
bank contacted me a month ago as the director of his foundation and a trustee to
recommend a next of kin to the funds since he (Our Late founder) died intestate
and nominated no successor in title over the fund deposit made with the bank
amounting to US$7.2 Million.

The essence of this communication with you is to request that you provide me
with information/comments on any or all of the issues below as regards
nominating you to inherit the fund left behind since you are a foreigner with
the same surname hence eligible to stand for claim of the funds. I have
therefore contacted you to be legally nominated as next of kin (inheritor) to
Our Late founder after all inquiries and investigation even with the relevant
embassy has yielded results showing that there is no known or l iving next of
kin. You are required therefore to answer this questions to enable me make my
recommendation to The Trust Bank Ghana

1. Can you confirm your willingness to accept this inheritance if you are
legally and legitimately nominated through my recommendation to the bank and
approved to stand as inheritor to this funds.

2. Would you agree to donate 60% of this inheritance to our charity organization
for the continued upkeep and security of a better future for the orphans in our
care; if you are officially recommended to the bank in my powers to stand as the
Inheritor?

It is pertinent that you inform me ASAP whether or not you are familiar with
this personality or and your interest towards the issues mentioned. You must
appreciate that I am constrained from providing you with more detailed
information at this point. Please respond to this mail as soon as possible to
afford me the opportunity to provide you wit h more information on matter and
upon your consent proceed with the recommendation of your person to the bank as
the inheritor of the funds.
We are in need.

Thank you for accommodating this inquiry.
Remain Blessed.
