Dear Pete Moss,
We received tele-graphic communication request from the UK Inland Revenue Treasury Department in charge of all Heritage Funds in England to effect the transfer of your consignment(funds). They only sent an approval letter to us to only effect the transfer of the total sum of Sixteen Million United States Dollars ($16M) from our Bank to your personal Bank Account in your Location due to the inconsistency they encountered in accomplishing proper investigation to confirm its authenticity and total sum involved in your consignment(funds) previously.

We have contacted the Inland Revenue Treasury Department for clarification/track originator and approval. According to their conclusion, The message was clearly stated that it was awarded to you from the Lottery Heritage Funds Gaming Board during your participation at that present time of award.

As an investment Bank, it is your duty to verify your bank receiving details as submitted so as to be sure that you are the actual beneficiary of the stated funds before we can complete this wire process into your bank account in your country.

Before we enable the transfer of this funds to your Bank Account information which is yet to be provided by you, you must open an account with us. The account opening is free and we are not charging you for it. Kindly fill the attached application form attached to this message and return it to us with your complete transfer information for proper verification before complete wiring of the stated amount above is made.

Contact us for any assistance.

Sincerely,

Mr Kelvin Clean,
Investment Department Officer.

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.
