[ BEGIN SCAM E-MAIL ]   From:     Jerry Nana <jerrynana0062@yahoo.com> Reply-To:     jerrynanaa0@yahoo.com Subject:     GOOD DAY Date:     Sat, 27 Sep 2008 08:09:19 -0700 (PDT) (11:09 EDT) From: Mr. Jerry Nana Snr. Dear Friend, My name is Jerry Nana, I am the regional manager of Barclays bank of Ghana Takwaa branch. Am writing you this mail for something very important; I am happily married with four lovely kids. I have been a banker for almost 10 years. I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit you and I, as the regional manager of my branch it is my duty to send in a financial report to my head office in the capital city Accra at the end of each business year. On the course of the last year 2007 business report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the manager made Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars($7.500,000)USD. I have placed this funds on what we call escrow call account, this account is strictly for onward transfer, with no beneficiary. As an officer of this bank I cannot be directly connected to this money in any way, so my aim of contacting you is to assist me receive this money in your bank account and get 40% of the total funds as commission, while 60 percent comes back to me. I placed you on 40% because I believe this business now belongs to the both of us, and your efforts and support is highly going to be involved as well. Up till date, no one has the knowledge of the $7.500,000usd you are about to receive in your bank account, and no one will ever know of it. All you need to do is stand and claim as the original depositor and beneficiary of the fund in my branch so that my head office can order the transfer of the fund to your designated bank account. There are practically no risks involved, it will be a bank-to-bank transfer. From the day you applied, within 6 days the money should have been transferred and cleared in your account if all things work out well. Then I will get back my 60% through any means we find best to do so. Please note that all I need from you is your trust and sincerity as to seeing this through. Am expecting your soonest reply as to enable us start doing something about this immediately Thanks till I hear from you. Mr. Jerry Nana   [ END SCAM E-MAIL ]

It's important to note that any real people or legitimate organizations mentioned in these scam e-mails have absolutely no connection with this scam! The scammers never use their real names. They frequently 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!!!

This is just a small sampling of the many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at 419 BAITER headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!

There are many different types of 419 scam (examples) but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary / commision, low-interest loan, lottery prize, cheap gold dust / diamonds, 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.
