Attn:Mr.Victor Zuba,
Sir/
My name are Mr.Victor Zuba, the son of Mr. COLLINS   Zuba of Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address, I got your e-mail address from the internet, please don't be worried. During the current crisis against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President RobertMugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers.

My Father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the president's political ideology, the president's supporters invaded our farm burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments. After th e death of my Father, my family decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives. We took along with us the money my father kept in the safe in his house which amounted to the sum of US$20.5 Million United States Dollars to the Republic of South Africa.

The funds are presently being kept away in the secret vaults of a private security firm based here in
Johannesburg. The officials of the firm believes they 're helping me in keeping my personal Valuables, not realizing, that it's money. Myself and my Family have decided to contact any reliable overseas firm/person who could assist us to transfer this money out of The Republic of South Africa, because we as asylum seeker here in South Africa cannot operete an account through which this fund 'll be channeled out to a nominated

If my proposition is considered, for assisting us to transfer this money to your country, we 'll offer you 25% of the total fund, and 5% of t he total 'll be set aside to cover any expenses incurred during this transaction. 70% 'll be for me and my family to invest in your country under your supervision.

You can contact me on his direct direct line Email me {victorzuba2008@hotmail.com}

Best Regards,

Mr.Victor Zuba

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.
