[ 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!!!

Goodday TO You!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank
Draft of $850,000 United States Dollars, but I did not hear from you since
for a couple of weeks now. Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft
has expired or getting near to the date of expire and Dr.Wilson the
Director Bank of Africa told me that before the draft will get to your
hand that it will expire.

So I told him to cash the $850,000 USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS to cash
payment to avoid losing this funds under expiration as I will be out of
the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till ending of
March 2008.

What you have to do now is to contact Fedex  Courier Company as
soon as possible to know when they will deliver your Consignment to you
because of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the
delivering Charge, Insurance premium.

The only money you will send to the Fedex  Courier Company to
deliver your Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is
($300 .00 USD) Three Hundred United States Dollars only being Security
Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far.Again, don't be deceived by
anybody to pay any other money except $300 .00 US Dollars.

I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you
will contact them and in case of demurrage. You have to contact
Fedex courier company  Servecis now, for the delivery of your Draft with
this information bellow;

1, Your Delivery Address:
2, Your Cell Phone Number:
3,Your Age:
4,Your Country:
5,Your OCUPATION:

Directors Name: OSAS HENRY

Companys Name: Fedex  Courier Company

Email Address: osas.henry@gmail.com

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address and Direct
telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and
ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your package
over there and know when it will get to your door step so that you can
sign on it. Let me repeat again,Try to contact them as soon as you receive
this mail and ask them how you will make the security fee of $300 usd to
them to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security
Keeping fee of $300 .00 US Dollars for their immediate action.

Note this. The Fedex  Courier Company don't know the contents of
the Box.
I registered it as a BOX of Africa cloths. They did not know the contents
was money. this is to avoid them delaying with the BOX. Don?t let them
know that box contents is money ok

Yours Faithfully,
Mr Scott Williams.

Dear Beloved in Christ,

I am Barrister John Okoye, the legal adviser to late Mr.and Mrs.William Scott
who died in the plane

Crash in Kano, EAS Airlines plane Crash It is by the grace of God that I
received Christ, knowing

the truth and
the truth have set me free.Having known the truth,I had no choice than to do
what is lawful and

right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness
of God?s mercy and

glory upon my life.

I have the pleasure to share my testimony with you, having see n your contact
from the Internet. I

am Barrister John Okoye, the legal adviser to late Mr.and Mrs. William Scott, a
British couple that

lived in my Country Nigeria for 25 years before they both died in the plane
crash
late last year. These couples were good Christians, they so dedicated to God
but they had no

child till they died. Throughout their stay in my country, they acquired a lot
of properties like

lands, house roperties, etc.As their legal adviser, before their death, the
husband Mr.William
Scott instructed me to write his WILL. Because they had no child, they
dedicated their wealth to

God.

According to the WILL, the properties have to be sold and the money be given out
to a ministry for

the work of God. As their legal adviser,all the documents for the properties
were in my care. He

gave me the authority to sell the properties and give out the fund to the
Ministri es for the work

of God.In short, I sold all the properties after their death, as instructed by
Mr. William Scott

before his death. And as matter of fact, after I sold all their properties, I
realized more than
$12,400,000.00 (Twelve point four million US dollars plus), and what supposed
to be the

percentage interest of my right legal fee was firstly deducted by me out of the
total amount

realized from the sold properties, this was base on the initial agreement
between me and the owner

of the properties before his death.Therefore the total amount left to be
invested into God's work

as instructed by the owner,is $12,400,000.00 (Twelve point four million US
dollars) only.But

Instead of giving the main fund out for the work of God as instructed to me by
the owner before his

death.I converted the fund to myself with the intention of nvesting the fund
abroad for my personal

use . I was afraid of putting the fund in the Bank, because I have to give
account to the bank on

how I got the money.I then packaged the fund in consignments and deposited the
consignments I had

encounter with Christ when Pastor T D Jakes was preaching on television
concerning Ananias and

Saphira in Acts 5:1-11. After hearing the word of God, I gave my life to Christ
and became a born

again Christian. As a born again Christian,I started reading my bible and one
day, the Lord opened

my eyes to Ezekiel 33:18 and 19 where the word of God says: "When the righteous
truth from his

righteousness, and committee iniquity, he shall even die thereby.But if the
wicked turn from his

wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby". From
the scripture, I

discovered that the only way I could have peace in my life is to do what is
lawful and right by

giving out the fund as instructed for the work of God by the owner before his
death.I have
asked God for forgiveness and I know that God have forgiven me.But I have to do
what is lawful and

right in the sight of God by giving out the fund to the chosen ministry for the
purpose of God's

work as instructed by the owner before his death.After my fasting and prayers, I
asked God to make

his choice and direct me to a honest Christian or the chosen ministry that
deserves this fund by

his Grace. I then came across your address on the Internet as I was browsing
through a Christian

site, and as a matter of fact, it is not only you or your ministry that I picked
on the Christian

site initially, but after my fervent prayer over it, then you were nominated to
me through divine

revelation from God, so these are how I received such a divine revelation from
the Lord, how I got
your contact information, and I then dec ided to contact you for the fund to be
used wisely for

things that will glorify the name of God.

I have notified the Security Company where I deposited the consignments that
contained the fund,

that I am moving the consignment abroad and the security company has since been
waiting for my

authority for the consignment to leave my country and move to abroad.So if you
know that you
willuse this fund honestly and wisely for things that will glorify God's name,
then do contact me

back first through this my Address: john4god008@yahoo.com.hk You should also
forward to me your

telephone
and fax number for easy communication and to fax you the documents concerning
the

consignments.Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.

Please my dear beloved in christ kindly reply me on this my private email

address: john4god008@yahoo.com.hk so that I will get back to you as soon as
possi ble Thanks you very

much for your understanding and for the Goodness of our Lord Jesus christ.Remain
Bless "Amen"

Yours in Christ.
Barrister John Okoye.  

Goodday,
 
My name is Mr. Paul Lockett, I am a senior partner in the firm of Infinity Consultants "Private Investigators and Security Consultants". We are conducting a standard process investigation on behalf of "HSBC", the International Banking conglomerate.
 
This investigation involves a client who shares the same surname with you and also the circumstances surrounding investments made by this client at "HSBC", the Private Banking arm of HSBC. The HSBC Private Banking client died in testate and nominated no successor in title over the investments made with the bank. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail private and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.
 
I contact you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you.
 
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 50/50. 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 depositor's would easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within few days.
 
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once, I have found myself in total control of my destiny. These chances won't pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities.
 
There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Lets share the blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me, contact me through my email account below. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion.
 
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.
 
Kind regards,
Mr. Paul Lockett.
