I am one of those that executed a contract in Nigeria and other countries years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $40,000 trying to get my payment all to no avail. So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my contract documents, And I was directed to meet Barrister Martin Chilo Esq who is based in Thailand the journey was too stressful because i have to embark on another journey,far away Asia Bangkok Thailand,Barrister Martin.C.is a member of, FOREIGN CONTRACT AWARD COMMITTEE.And I contacted him and he explained everything details to me, He said that those contacting us through emails are fake. Then he took me to the paying bank in Bangkok Thailand, which is(Siam Commercial Bank), and I am now the happiest woman on this earth because I have received my contract funds of $2.5 Million USD. Moreover, Barrister Martin Chilo Esq, showed me the full information of those that have not received their payment,and I saw your name among one of the beneficiary, and your email address/Telephone number and your contract amount,This is what you have to do now.You have to contact him direct on this information below. Name: Barrister Martin Chilo Esq Email:barrmartin_Chilo12@hotmail.com Phone: +66824597355 Office Address: 112 Silom Road Soi Pratunakan, Bangkok Thailand. You really have to stop your dealing with those contacting you okay, because they will dry you up until you have nothing to eat especially Nigerians that's why they moved the paying bank and contract award office down to Asia to avoid hitch from Nigerians. The only money I paid was just $820 for(I.R.S. permit), which you know, So you have to take note of that. Thank's and God Blessed. Mrs. June Cole.   [ 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 419BAITER 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.
