[ BEGIN SCAM E-MAIL ]   From:     Marette Johnson <marette.johnson@sovietchambers.co.cc> Subject:     REPLY ASAP Date:     Sat, 13 Sep 2008 14:27:41 +0200 (08:27 EDT) From: Ms Marette Johnson. Beloved in the Lord Jesus Christ, PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD. =============================================== I am, Ms. Marette Johnson 66years old woman from #219, Forest Ave.Felt Ham, Middlesex TW13 7RR, United Kingdom. I am married to Dr. Brown Morgan Johnson; we were married for Thirteen (13) years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $8.5M (Eight Million and Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars) with the (UNION BANK UK PLC BANK) in London My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next five months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this funds to church or better still a God fearing someone that will utilize this money the way' I wanted. I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives were not God-fearing fellow and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by uncaring and wayward act. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. With God all things are possible. Reply me back with this below information of yours: Name:.......................... Address:........................ Sex/Age:......................... Phone#............................ Occupation:........................ I will send a copy to the bank for identification when you will contact them. I want you and the church to always pray for me. Kept confidentially from eyes and ears of the wicked. Reply me and Remain blessed in the name of the Lord. Warmest Regards,  Ms. Marette Johnson   [ 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.

NOTE TO SPAMMERS: My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good but it isn't perfect. Occasionally a regular spam e-mail may get mistakenly published as a 419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish to have your spam e-mail published on this website, the solution is simple. Don't send me spam.
