[ BEGIN SCAM E-MAIL ]   From:     dr_mohamedessah <dr_mohamedessah008@yahoo.co.jp> Reply-to:     dr_mohamedessah@yahoo.co.jp Subject:     Dear Friend, I need your attention Plz, Date:     Sun, 14 Dec 2008 05:07:56 +0900 (JST) (Sat, 15:07 EST) Dear Friend,   I know that this mail might come to you as a surprise. I am the bill and exchange manager in BICICI BANK ABIDJAN CI. (www.bicici.org )  I hope that you will not expose or betray this trust and confident that I am about to repose on you for the mutual benefit of our both families.   I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of ($US 15.000, 000) immediately to your nominated banking account coordinates. The money has been dormant for years in our Bank here without any body coming for it. We want to release the money to you as the nearest person to our deceased customer (the owner of the account) who died a long time with his supposed next of kin in an air crash since July 2003.   I don't want the money to go into our Bank treasury as an abandoned fund. So this is the reason why I contacted you, so that we can release the money to you as the nearest person to the deceased customer.   Please I would like you to keep this proposal as a top secret and delete if you are not interested. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send you full details on how the business will be executed and also note that you will have 30% of the above mentioned sum if you agree to transact the business with us.   Sincerely Dr Mohamed Essah. (Exchange Manager).   [ END SCAM E-MAIL ]

It's important to note that any real people and / or legitimate organizations whose actual names or other details are mentioned in these scam e-mails have absolutely no connection with this scam! Scammers never use their real names. They frequently take on the identity of real people to help them convince you that they are genuine.

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.

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