Hello Dearest,

My name is Mr. Barry Williams, I am a C.E.O of an artist and the owner of (Global Arts-World) here in London UK. I sell my art works to my customers in U.S.A,Canada and European countries.
which i find it very difficult in receiving my payments from them in the
past as they have requested to pay through a direct wire transfer into a,
Revolving line of credit account.(Personal Line of Credit / Business Line of Credit account or Home Equity Line of Credit account Only) I have had a
lot of experiences in the past when they were paying through checks and
money orders. I have resolved these issues with them that they cannot make
payments via checks and money orders any longer. We now accepted that all
payments should be made by swift wire transfer into a line of credit
account in the United States which means I need a God fearing Person to work with
as my receiving agent or better called a trusted partner as the case may be.
They requested all payments to be made into "A   Line of Credit Account.
Why they requested for such account is that the funds will be more secured
into such account and the IRS will never question any amount of money
coming in or going out of the account.

I need you to be my representative in the United States if you own such
account. I will offer you 10% of any of my payment that passed through your
line of credit account. You will never invest any money at the course of
this help. This transaction is 100% legal and does not relate to money
laundering and is free from Drug related monies.

The amount of money depends on the volume of facilities sold which ranges
from $3000,000 and above depending on the limit of your account. I will
detail you as soon as i hear from you. This on an open discussion as this
has no secret attached but good business has limit in discussion with third
party as respect is s self thing.

[ 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 mistakenly published on this website as a scam, the solution is simple. Don't send me spam.
