[ 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!!!

International Commercial Bank.
First Light Kaneshie Branch
Accra, Ghana.
Dear Confidant,
Pardon me for not having the
pleasure of knowing your
mindset before making you this offer. This is utterly confidential and
genuine by virtue of its nature. I am Mr. Anthony Lamptey, the manager
of the International Commercial Bank Ghana (ICB), First Light Kaneshie
branch, Accra -Ghana.
I am writing for your assistance
in the transfer of one
million, nine hundred and fifty thousand United States dollars (
$1,950.000.00 ) into any account of your choice. This fund is
the
excess of what my branch in which I am the manager made as profit
during the last fiscal year. I have already submitted an approved end
of the year report for the year 2007 to my head office here in Accra
and they were not aware of this excess and will never know of it. I
have since then, placed this amount of $1,950.000.00USD in a
Non-Resident account without a beneficiary.
Please note that as a staff of the
bank, I cannot be
directly connected to this money; thus I am impelled to request for
your assistance and partnership to receive this money into your bank
account. And as my partner you are entitled to 30% of this fund, while
70% shall be for me. I do need to stress that, it's going to be a
bank-to-bank transfer.
Your timely response will be
highly appreciated.
Yours Truly,
Mr. Anthony Lamptey.

FROM THE DESK OF TAORE MANSOUR
BANQUE INTERNATIONALE DU BURKINA
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Iam the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance
department of Banque Internationale Du Burkina.
I am writing to seek your cooperation over this business proposal (Fund
Transfer into Your Account).However,i got your contact in earnst search
through the internet,when i am looking for realiable someone who could
assist me to handle this transaction with sincere mind and fully
cooperation.
In my department, I discovered an abandoned sum of $18.5MUSD (Eighteen
Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) only, in an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire
family in a plane crash that took place in Mount Kenya in the
07/19/2003, East Africa,(thrill of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro) the Late
Dr.George Brumley, a citizen of Atlanta, United States of America, and
contactor in West Africa also with ECOWAS,(ECONOMIC COMMUNITY
OF WEST
AFRICAN STATES).
(For reference and confirmation see the web site of the plane crash).
http://www.news24.com/News24/Africa/News/0,6119,2-11-1447_1390368,00.html
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because it cannot be
released unless somebody applies for it as next of kin to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately, all his
supposed next of kin died along-side with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is upon this discovery that I
now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money
to you via, into your foreign bank account as the next of kin to the
deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming
for it so that this money could not go into the Bank treasury as
unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclaimed after Five years, the money will be transferred into
the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for your assistance
and maximum co-operation as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin in
this business is occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was
a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I
agreed to offer you 40% of this money as my foreign partner as soon as
we conclude up the transaction, being in respect to the provision of
your foreign account. While 10 %will be set aside for expenses incurred
during the business and 50% would be for me. There after I will come
over to your country for sharing and disbursement according to the
percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer
of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as
the next of kin to the deceased, indicating your claims and wherein the
money will be remitted into.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will
send to you by email the text of application which you shall fill in
and submit to the office of the foreign remittance director of the
Banque Internationale Du Burkina for the onward transfer of the fund
into your nominated bank account.
I will not fail to bring to your
notice that this transaction is strictly confidential and I will use my
position in the Bank to effect a hitch free transfer of the fund into
your nominated bank account.
Please, visit the website below for
more information’s about the Plane Crash and the tragic death of the
deceased and his entire family, Late Dr. George Brumley.

her, for an investment as a life time insurance for her and the only
son.
I
accepted and requested for a proof and she provided the Certificate of

charitable
foundation was reported by the business newspaper, the Economist in
May 2006 to
be technically the world's wealthiest charity - with an estimated value
of at
least US$36 billion in 2006 (larger than the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation) -
but its primary purpose is, by some, believed to be corporate
tax-avoidance and
anti-takeover protection for IKEA.Kamprad is chairman of the
foundation. Having
been rated as the biggest charity foundation in Europe for the year
2008, the
foundation has decided to randomly select email addresses that would
benefit
from this year's donation/award.
Stitching INGKA Foundation in conjunction with the United Nations
Organization
(UNO) and the European Union is giving out a yearly donation of One

Million United States Dollars as specific Donations/Grants to 50 lucky

be
notable richness among many unusual people around the world.
This will give many people the opportunity to get their lives to a
stage where
they had always wanted. Kindly note that you will only be chosen to
