[ BEGIN SCAM E-MAIL ]   From:     Kenshole George <kenshole231@msn.com> Reply-to:     <kensholegeorge62@hotmail.com> Subject:     KINDLY REPLY SOON Date:     Mon, 8 Dec 2008 03:04:55 +0000 (Sun, 22:04 EST) MR KENSHOLE .G. GEORGE ACCOUNTANT, IN FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT ALPHA BANK LONDON, 66 CANNON STREET LONDON EC4N 6EP, UNITED KINGDOM.     Dear Friend,    How are you today? Hope all is well. Please be informed that I have decided to contact you for a fund transfer transaction worth the sum of US$15,300,000.00(Fifteen Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars) that belongs to our Late Mr Morris Thompson, an American prominent man who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261, which crashed on January 31st 2000.into your reliable bank account as the sole NEXT-OF-KIN.    No body have show up as his next of kin for the claim because the account is untraceable. Upon the investigation I carried out from his records, I found out that his foreign business consultant who would have trace the account died earlier before the deceased. Therefore, this is a confidential and sealed deal.   For the success of this transaction, you should apply and act as the only existing NEXT-OF-KIN to the deceased which our bank will replace the deceased account information through proper documentation in position of your own account. This transaction is risk-free, it will never harm your good reputation in your society because no one can trace the account, and on the instant of the transfer of the fund into your account, the chapter of this transaction will be closed entirely.   Note that in a business of this nature, the bank don’t want to know your difference between the deceased country, religion or believe because our bank inheritance law is against that. So, it is a preference for us to achieve this success without any problem. Please note down that once the fund get transferred into your account, you will take 40% of the total sum while the rest will be for me as I will arrange myself down to your country to take my share.   I need your urgent response and include your private telephone/mobile numbers for easy communication. Please reply if you can be trusted in this deal. Thanks,   Mr. KENSHOLE GEORGE.   [ END SCAM E-MAIL ]

This is just a small sampling of the many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at 419 BAITER headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!

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.
