[ 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!!!

Dear One,
I got your contact via Internet as God wishes, my name is Mrs. Gifty
 Abavana and I am living with AIDS. Ever since my husband, Hon. Lawrence
 R. Abavana, former 
Ghanaian Agriculture minister died of AIDS and I was tested positive of
 the AIDS virus, the mass media wouldn't just let me and my family be.
 My children have stopped 
going to school because they could no longer stand the humiliations
 from fellow students. The embarrassments are getting on my nerves but what
 can I do? I would have 
loved to travel out of the country to a place where I will have peace
 and spend the rest of my life with my children but I couldn't make it
 for I am weak and severely sick. 
Moreover, no Embassy would grant me Visa to her Country with my hairs
 withering and my body very weak. From all indications, I know that my
 days are numbered. In 
the light of The above, I have contacted you to assist me to transfer
 out of Ghana, The SUM OF $15 Million USD and the 250kg of Gold which my
 husband Deposited as 
[FAMILY TREASURES] with Global Trust Security Company Limited in Ghana
 to be safe-keep for my children. I will like my children to come over
 to your country in due 
time. My Dear I need you to handle this project and after the fund is
 secured YOU WILL INVEST THE MONEY FOR MY CHILDREN IN COMMERCIAL ESTATE
 OR 
ANY BUSINESS OF YOUR CHOICE YOU DEEM HEALTHY. I will like you to keep
 this as a top secret and Confidential. 
For your effort, I am prepared to give you 20% of the total funds. I am
 looking forward to hear from you while thanking you for your
 anticipated co-operation.
Please give me your phone number in your reply so I can also call you
