Good day,

this is a top secret information that I am crave your indulgence so
that it can be of mutual benefit to all parties involved....

You were introduce to me by a businessman I met in Ghanaian chamber of
commence, foreign trade division who does not know of the nature of
what I am about to introduce to you.

The person that gave me your contact, was because he knew I have some
money to invest over seas, thus he recommended you to me.

I want you to help me pick my merchandise containing $25 million USD
in Spain and every fee has been taken care of here awaiting departure
of this consignment containing this cash.

The Diplomat will be leaving this week to Spain, I already had someone
in Italy that has accepted receiving the cash over there, but his
level of greedy is too high for he is demanding 40% percent without
him making any payment so I decided to reach you for so that it can be
done in a compromise precision.

Presently this cash has been sent to Spain already from Accra,
Ghana..... Therefore if you can help me pick up this merchandise
containing this cash in the Spain.

This is an inheritance from my late father, JOB M. SMITH, former vice
president of the gold miners association as and one of the must
outstanding Presidential aspirant of sierra Leone 2004, whom died in
ghastly auto-accident on his way from Sacramento in California US on
15th Nov,2004.

I want to make something clear to you that my late father in which I
inherited this cash
from deposited this consignment containing this cash with a very
reputable security and finance company here in Accra, Ghana.

The amount $25 million US Dollar is contained in a sealed trunk box
and it is registered and declared as containing family treasures, as I
am writing you now, the security company and its agents are the agent
are already awaiting the receiver of the trunk box containing the
cash, let me assure you that this transaction is 100% hitch and risk
free, thus you are not paying any money accept the delivery charges on
arrival.

So if you accept 20%, I will send you the documents so that you can
get in contact with the diplomat?s name representing the security
company there in Spain, to prove that this transaction is 100% risk
Free.

Best Regard,
Job Smith

It's important to note that any real people or legitimate organizations mentioned in this e-mail have absolutely no connection with this scam!

None of the scammers 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.

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.
