[ 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 Friend,
I am very sorry for bothering you,
for a brief introduction, My
name is Mrs Mary Nick Morgan from Ghana West Africa.
I am 25yrs old,
I got your contact when I was searching for a
foreign investor to
represent as the next of king to my late husband property, I married to
Late Nick Morgan from Swiss citizen. He has a small
scale mining
company at Obusi a village here at Ghana in West Africa. before he died
in the yr2004,
We were married for one years without a
child.He died after brief illness that lasted for only four days before
his death. when he was in the hospital he told me of 50 kilo of Gold
dust deposited with gateway insurance company and also $10.5million.US
dollars in a metallic box which he deposited as an art gallery with the
same insurance company.
After his death I try ed to claim his
money and the property but it has been very difficult for me, I have
been ad viced to get in touch with any of his relations but I have not
been able to get in touch with any of his relations due to the fact
that I have not traveled to his country before because our marriage was
not official,. I promise the manager of Gateway Insurance company that
I will get his relation to enable me make the claim.
Since his death the company has been closed down and his
workers
were not paid for three months during his illness. Presently I want to
work with you as the next of kin to my late husband hence I have all
the necessary documents to claim his property and the money to avoid
the company from confiscating the fund and the gold dust.
My aims and objectives of making this arrangement :
1) So as to pay the workers their three months salary.
2) To start up with life again
3) To avoid the company from confiscating the property's and fund.
As
soon as we claim this money and the gold dust, You will be given 40% of
the total fund. I will also supply you with all necessary
documents
which might be needed during this process.
Looking forward for your urgent reply.
Yours Sincerely,

TELEX: CENBANK. PAYMENT FILE: CBN/BEN/08. ATTENTION : Sir/Ma PAYMENT NOTIFICATION OF YOUR FUNDS. Definately, I know that this letter will be a surprising one to you. Firstly, I will like to introduce myself formally as Prof. Charles Soludo, The Executive Governor of The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). You are been officially contacted by me today because your Inheritance Funds were Re-depositted into the "Federal Suspense Account" of CBN last week, because you did not forward your Claim as the Right beneficiary. Well known to all, The Central Bank of Nigeria is the mother Bank of all commercial Banks here in Nigeria. Really these men were unexpected by me because their visit was impromptu. I had to ask them why they came to see me in person and they said that they were here to Collect the Inheritance Bill Sum of (US$500,000,00) which rightfully belongs to you, on your behalf. At this development I asked them who authorized them to come down to Nigeria for the Collection of this Payment and they told me that you asked them to come and collect this Funds on your Behalf. Infact this was the biggest shock that this Bank have ever received so far because yourInheritance Funds is still in the "Federal Suspense Account" of CBN,yet you sent these men to come and collect this Funds on your behalf without notifying us. We in this Bank do not understand why you sent these men to come and Collect your Funds on your behalf. If actually you want them to help you Collect your Inheritance Bill Sum, atleast you should have informed me as the Executive Governor of this Bank. They actually tendered some Vital Documents which Proved that you actually sent them for the Collection of this Funds. Honestly, it really baffles me that you took such decision without my consent. Here are the Document which they tendered to this Bank today: 1. LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION. 2. HIGH COURT INJUCTION. 3. ORDER TO RELEASE. Actually, these Documents which they tendered to this Noble Bank is a clear Proof that you sent them to Collect this Funds for you.Finally,I told them to come back tommorrow morning and they promised to come back. As the Governor of this Noble Bank, I was supposed to Release this Funds to them but I refused to do so because I wanted to hear from you first. Due to the Nature of my job, I will not want to make any mistake in Releasing this Funds to anyone except you whom is the Recognised Bonafide Beneficiary to this Funds. Kindly clearify us on this issue before we make this Payment to these foreigners whom came on your behalf.In receipt of this confidential Letter, you are required to call this Bank immediately you receive this Confidential Letter.

From Mrs Mamou Cisse
Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmath ALLAH Wa Barakathuhu!
Dearest One.
A very nice day to you in the name of ALLAH.
I
am Mrs Mamou Cisse a devoted Muslim,a new muslim convert of 58 years
old woman after being converted from a Christian Family by my
Husband.For quite a good number of years now,I have been suffering from
( Esophageal Cancer ) of the breast and fibroid of the womb which has
for a long time now affected my health and after taking all type of
medical treatment in other to find my survives and it is still defiling
that I will be only having some few Month to live, according to what
the medical experts has observed in me.
My Late Husband who
is now late was killed during the political crisis which took place in
the year 2003 September 19th.My late Husband was a member of the
contract award committee of the ministry of works and housing.
Throughout
the period of my marriage with my him,all efforts to bear children
proved abortive because of my poor state of health.My Husband was a
very wealthy and influential Man during the past war in Iraq. After his
death,I inherited all his wealth since he has no other next of
kin.Since it is now obvious that I may not survive my poor state of
health,
I have deemed it necessary to leave a legacy on
Earth and give a positive account and justification of the life I lived
on Earth before Allah.This is what I want to achieve by committing part
of this wealth in all sincerity to fund to Islamic orphanages,widows
and the less privileged peoples
all over the world. I know that after death I will be with ALLAH in the
most beneficent and the most merciful place.
Note that this sum(US$3.5 Million) was securely Deposited in one
Security Company here in Europe
by me.So on the receipt of your urgent response I will forward all the
necessary Documents covering the Treasure Box in one of the leading
Security Company as to enable you receive it as I can not follow it up
right now because of my ill health.
Please Religious
doesn't matter in this divine project henceforth I trusted you but do
actualize my dreams with this Money for the sake of ALLAH because My
happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted life worthy of
emulation.
Lastly, I honestly pray that this Money when
releasing to you by the European Security Company it will be well
judiciously used for the said purpose as the ALLAH has reviewed for
humanitarian services.
Whoever wants to serve ALLAH must
serve him in truth and in fairness.Please always be prayerful all
through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room to source
for another person or a devoted Muslim for this same purpose.Until I
hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders. May
ALLAH continue to bless you.
Best Regards
Mrs Mamou Cisse
