Good Day,

We have been waiting for you since to contact us for your Confirmable Bank Draft of $1.5M United States Dollars which my husband kept for you as compensation for your past effort but we did not hear from you since that time. Then I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired or getting near to expire and Mr. Justin Sango the Director Bank of Africa told me that before the draft will get to your hand that it will expire.

So I told him to cash the $1.5M US DOLLARS to avoid loosing this funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not come back till end of November 2008.

What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE COMPANY as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the delivery charge,

The only money you will send to the Courier Company to deliver your Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far which I would have paid but they said no, because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.

You have to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE COMPANY now for the delivery of your Consignment with this information bellow.

Branch Manager,
Dr. Odikpo Anan,
Fedex Express Courier Company
E-mail:(fedexexpress1116@live.com)
Telephone:    +229 983 209 53

Please, Send them your contacts information to enable them locate you immediately they arrived in your country with your box This is what you need to provide for them.

1.YOUR FULL NAME..............................
2.YOUR HOME ADDRESS......................
3.YOUR CURRENT PHONE NUMBER......
4.YOUR PROOF OF IDENTITY................

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address and Direct telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your package over there and know when it will get to your address.

Note that this is their email address (fedexexpress1116@live.com)

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee for their immediate action.

Note this. The FEDEX COURIER SERVICE COMPANY doesn’t know the contents of the Box. I registered it as a BOX OF FAMILY VALUABLES. They did not know that the content is money. This is to avoid them delaying with the BOX. Don’t let them know that box contents money ok.So when you contact them you have to remind them of the a package name (FAMILY VALUABLES).

Yours Faithfully
Mrs, Katharine K. Kone

[ 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.
