Bonsoir,

           Je m'appelle Mr. ASSANE Denis, employé à la Banque Sahélo-Sahérienne pour l'Investissement et le Commerce (BSIC.sa) du Bénin en tant que directeur du département de crédit et de rémittence internationale.
           J'ai la souscription d'un de nos clients décédé dans le crash du boeing 727 UTA en 2003. Je vous contacte dans le but d'intervenir en tant qu'héritier de cette souscription. Vous n'avez rien à craindre tant que vous suivrez mes instructions.
           Tous les détails vous seront donnés une fois que vous m'auriez donné votre avis favorable à la proposition.
           Vous pouvez me laisser votre contact téléphonique pour une étroite communication.

            Mr. ASSANE Denis

            Directeur. DC/RI-OUEME.

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.
