[ 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 15th). 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, How are you today?It is my pleasure to reach you after our unsuccessful attempt on our business transaction. Well, I just want to use this medium to thank you very much for your earlier assistance to help me in receiving the funds, without any positive outcome.I am obliged to inform you that I have succeeded in receiving the funds with the help of a new partner from Paraguay Mr. Fernando Alvaro Gomez. Everything was perfectly done and everything worked out successfully.
In appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in this transaction , I have decided to compensate you with the sum of $850,000.00(Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars) in a Cashier's cheque.I did this simply to show appreciation to you for your kind support and assistance even though we could not succeed due to some unforseen circumstances and reason. In the light of the above, you are therefore, to contact my personal assistant ,Mr Patrick Brown and do send him your contact address where you want the cheque to be sent to you and also your phone number. Regards, Remmy Cole
I write this in confidence, believing that it will reach you in high spirit and I believe you will maintain the level of confidence and trust that matters of this nature requires. Before proceeding, I wish to introduce myself.
My Name is Peter Alulu. I work with a financial institution in Congo. I worked for Mr David Claude a diamond dealer in Congo (DRC) for seven years as his account officer under our institution's platform. Mr Claude was a secret diamond dealer, he made a lot of money from the business. Most of his investments were abroad. His customers were mostly from the western world. I had a very close relationship with Mr Claude, He operated secret accounts which I alone was aware of.
Unfortunately Mr David Claude died of a strange illness few months ago. Before he died he deposited the sum of $3.1 million (Three Million One Hundred Thousand dollars) with a security firm in Europe which he told me then, that he wanted to invest in a new deal which was to be done in Europe. The security firm contacted me two weeks ago and requested that I submit the name of Mr Claude's next of kin, so that they would release the money deposited with them to the person. That is where you come in.You must know that I am the only one aware of this. I have been given some time to submit the name of the next of kin.
I want to introduce you to the security firm as the next of kin. So that you can claim the money deposited with the finacial institution. Can you help me? Are you trustworthy? Can you handle this money? Are you capable of handling this money? If you can, please contact me. All you need to do is to claim this money from the security Company. For your assistance, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum and 70% will be for me.
You are also obliged to help/advise on the proper and most convenient way of investing this money in your country, hopefully, You will consider this request and respond positively.
I want to assure you that this transaction is totally safe and risk free provided you follow the instructions of the finacial inistitution religiously. On no account will your personal security come under any form of danger as a result of this matter.
Please, email me on receipt of this mail on peteralulu1@aim.com
Have a lovely day while I await your positive response.
Best Regards Peter Alulu
