I hope that you are in atmosphere of peace and love, please do not be surprise or get offended for receiving this message from me, It's just that I have been obliged to lay a mere trust on you. Having searched through the internet from where i get your email address i strongly believe in my heart that you must be honest and a sincere person for me to disclose my life secrets, for you to help me.

It is true that we have not known each other for the first time but just getting to know one another which I strongly believe that it will take us to great relationship financially and otherwise. Let me first of all introduce my self to you, and I will require the best of your honesty after you knowing about me and whom i am, I will really like us to have a good relationship in-spite of anything because I have this feeling that you will be honest and a trusted person and you will not betray me.

My name is Mr. Ahensa John, I am the regional bank manager of the Barclays Bank Ghana Ltd. It is my duty to send in a financial report to my head office in the capital city Accra at the end of each year. On the course of last year 2007 end of year report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the manager made an excess profit of Three million five hunderd united states dollars [US$3,500,000.00] which my head office are not aware of and will never be aware of. I have since placed this fund on what we call SUSPENSE ACCOUNT without any beneficiary. As an officer of the bank I can not be directly connected to this money, this is why I,m contacting you for us to work so that you can assist and receive this money into your bank account for us to share.

To be sincere with you, i prefer to tell my secrets to a stranger because he/she will not have a mind to cheat me or betray me, that is why i am disclosing this to you with all my hearts and confidence that you will keep this confidential for my safety reasons and life purposes, i sincerely want to let you know that We will invest the fund together me and you, or if you don't intend staying with me then It will be my pleasure to compersate you with 20% of the total money for your assistance and the balance shall be my investment capital. This is the reason why I decided to contact you.

There are practically no risks involved in this transaction ,it will be bank to bank transfer,all I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of this fund who made the deposit with Takoradi branch so that my Head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account. Do not make undue the advantage of the trust I have bestowed on you, and I assure you we can achieve it successfully.

I am waiting for your urgent and positive response. Please do keep this only to your self please I am on my kneels in the name of God, do not disclose this secret to anybody till i come over to your country, once the funds has been transferred. Meanwhile i want you to call me +2332-48883-257 like i said i have a lots to tell you and e-mail me back through this e-mail address below: ahensaa_john@live.com

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.
