Good day to you, my name is Sgt. Aamer Qais Kamil,

I am an Iraqi soldier; I am serving in the military of the 1st Armored Division in Iraq, as you know insurgents everyday and car bombs are attacking us. We managed to move funds belonging to Saddam Hussein family in 2003. The total amount is US$25 Million dollars in cash, mostly 100 dollar bills, this money has been kept somewhere outside Iraq for sometime but with the recent troop increase by president Bush, we are afraid that the money will be discovered hence we want to move this money to you for safe keeping pending the completion of our assignment here. And we managed to move this fund to Malysia through a diplomatic means.

You can go to this web link to read about events that took place there: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm
We tried to move the money out of Malysia early this year but unfortunately our Captain was posted out of Baghdad and we suspended the plan, we now have another opportunity hence we are making this contact to you.

We are ready to compensate you with good percentage of the funds, No strings attached, just for you to help us move it out of Malysia. So we plan on using diplomatic means to shipping the money out as military cargo, using diplomatic immunity.

If you are interested I will send you the full details including my international passports and also my family international passports, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us. Can I trust you? When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone numbers for quick communication also your contact address and any proof of identity of yours.

Kindly forward your details to me.

Sgt. Aamer Qais Kamil

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.
