Dear Authorized Beneficiary,
We write to inform you that all payments, taxes, levies, dues and charges on all Foreign Beneficiary payment is hereby cancelled. This is part of the effort by the Government of Nigeria and CBN to ensure that there is no avenue for impostors to rip off innocent Foreign Beneficiaries of their hard earned money. This WAIVER is what has been introduced into every Foreign beneficiary payments and if anybody tells you that you have to pay any money please tell the person that he or she is a rogue as those are people who are giving bad image to our Great nation, Nigeria. The activities of these people of Notoriety have given the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria great concern that is why it was decided that all payments, taxes, levies, dues and charges by beneficiaries be WAIVED which means that you pay nothing to receive your fund. So this means that you can now receive your fund payment without spending your hard earned money.
This means that you need to apply for this Waiver which most beneficiaries do not know about so that the members of the Top Echelon and Board of the Central Bank of Nigeria which is the Apex bank and Government bank in Nigeria will approve the waiver for you to receive your fund without spending your money. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has the exclusive right to pay every beneficiary fund that exceeds $900,000.00. So Please note that no commercial Bank in Nigeria has the right to pay beneficiary funds that exceed this amount and also we have been mandated to Release every Beneficiary fund in United Kingdom as most of them originated from here. Especially Inheritance and Lottery Payments that is why we have the capacity to Release your fund payment and also apply this WAIVER alternative to your fund payment. This Waiver arrangement to my Greatest surprise is not known to most beneficiaries who are not aware that there is a way they can receive their fund payment
Also inform us if you have authorized a Mr. William Bounchard to is making claim for the Fund on your behalf. He said he is ready to pay any accrued fee or charges though he did not present any power of attorney from you (the Bona Fide Beneficiary) but he has furnished us with the information below and has implored us to wire your fund into this oversea account:
William Bounchard
First Community Bank
Ranchos De Taos
New Mexico
Acc. No. 52369901
Sort Code: 77711044-7
A lot of things have gone wrong in the past regarding the payment arrangement here in Nigeria and this has given the Government concern which led to the government's cancellation of all Debts owe by Foreign beneficiaries from Canada, Australia, Asia, Europe and America.
Finally, Please note that this payment WAIVER decision is part of the effort by the government and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to redeem the Great Nation in the Eyes of the Entire world to restore trust and confidence to the outside world which will encourage Foreigners to do business with this Great nation without Fear of Loosing their money to Impostors. This is your BEST and LAST opportunity to receive your fund without paying any BOGUS money and also note that ANY BENEFICIARY WHO SEND MONEY TO ANYONE REGARDING ANY, CONTRACT, INHERITANCE, LOTTERY, ATM PAYMENT DOES SO AT HIS OR HER OWN RISK AND IS SIMPLY WASTING HIS TIME AS YOU CAN NOW APPLY FOR WAIVER AND RECEIVE YOUR FUND PAYMENT WITHOUT SPENDING MONEY AS THIS WAIVES All taxes, Levies, Fee, and Charges!
As soon as we receive your full details INCLUDING YOUR TELEPHONE NO. and copy of Identification we will send you a copy of the WAIVER Application Form which you will fill and send to our Fund Release Department for immediate consideration and Release of your payment to you as the Bonafide beneficiary. Please send these requirements to my Direct mailbox (drcsoldunng8@gmail.com) and also endeavour to view our official website below. You can go to www.google.com or www.yahoo.comYour Payment.

[ END SCAM E-MAIL ]

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

The scammers never 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.
