[ BEGIN SCAM E-MAIL ]   From:     Barr David Truex <barrtruex_david@yahoo.com> Subject:     Pete Moss ,I wait for your consent Date:     Wed, 27 Aug 2008 22:58:48 -0700 (PDT) (Thu, 01:58 EDT) International Family Law Chambers 218 STRAND, LONDON WC2R 1AP, ENGLAND DX 252 London/Chancery Lane; London, United Kingdom. Hello Pete Moss,   My name is David Truex, Principal Founder of International Family Law Chambers, - a reputable legal firm in London United Kingdom. I am contacting you on a Legal Transaction which will benefit both parties in the long run.I am also contacting you because you share a common last name with my late client.    Late Mr Mark Moss was my personal client of mine and I managed all his legal affairs. As of today, I stand as a true custodian to the cash deposit which he made in a financial institute in Amsterdam - Holland. I am faced with the task of getting someone who can be permitted to claim the fund as my late client next of kin.    The amount in the deposit is $12,000,000 and the finance house is ready to release the money to whoever I present as the true fund beneficiary and next-of-kin to my late client because my late client accorded me with a Letter of Authority (Power of Attorney) duly endorsed in the British High Court of Justice when he made the deposit, to act on his behalf in times of his absence and inability to act and I was his legal advicing councellor on the deposit and other issues.    The finance house where my client deposited the fund currently demands that I quickly provide a beneficiary for the fund because the deposit duration has expired and needs a renewal or withdrawal from their company otherwise it will be handed over to the government. This is the reason that I decided to contact and do this deal with you so that we can get the money out whether you are truly related to my late client or not.  If you feel we can sign out the funds together, quickly send me your phone and fax and I will call to give you the details of the deal and send you the relevant transaction documents. Regards, David Truex Esq.   For: International Family Law Chambers   International Family Law Chambers STRAND, LONDON WC2R 1AP, ENGLAND London, United Kingdom.   [ 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.
