Dear Friend,

I will like to invest in your country. I am promisecamara from Liberia, the son of Michael Dlovu, former Minister of Mines and Industry. Our parents were killed in the Liberia war. Our Father deposited trunk box containing 33.6 Million U.S Dollars with Global Security and Finance Company in Ghana, for safe keeping and before his death he instructed that I should claim it to look after my only sister and my self.

My sister and I are now in Accra Ghana-West Africa, to notify claims of the fund. We intend to invest this money abroad, hence my contacting you to advise us how best we can invest this money in your country. One Mr. Bill Lloyd, who was supposed to receive this consignment box in USA, was demanding for 50% which I and my sister did not agree on for any reason, which was why we have to stop the delivery to him immediately, and search for another beneficiary who can help us on this. For your assistance we offer 20% of the money to you. We have all the vital documents covering the deposit fund and the ownership which I can send on request.

Please send your direct phone and fax numbers for more information on your reply.

Thank you very much for the anticipated acceptance while I expect your prompt response.

Best regards,
promisecamara

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.
