GEORGE ABBEY
JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA
Dear Sir / Madam,
CRY FOR HELP

You will be surprise to receive this letter since you dont know me
personally, but do treat this request as a call from somebody in dire need of your kind assistance,
but for the purpose of introduction. I am GEORGE ABBEY .the eldest son of Dr. WILLIAM
ABBEY who was recently murdered with other whites in the land dispute violence in Zimbabwe lastyear.ln my keen interest to invest in your country, I got your contact through the website and decided to write for an assistance.



My late father was among the few black-Zimbabwean richfarmers murdered in cold blood by the KILLER-SQUARD ofthe ruling government of President Robert Mugabe onthe 12th of march,2003 for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean Opposition party controlled by the whites and this crisis andcold-blood-murder reports were communicated to thewhole world through BBC, CNN, and even the UNITED NATIONS general assembly meetings for heads of governments, of member nations.



Before his death, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum
of US$19.2 Million(Nineteenmillion two hundred Thousand United States Dollars)with a Security and EUROPEAN Company forsafe-keeping as if he foresaw the looming danger that could erupt from the farm struggle in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as a consignment labelled 'FAMILY TREASURE', with the Security Company.This frame of mind was informed as not to allow the company management have the knowledge of the real content of the box for obvious security reasons. This money was earmarked for the purchase of machineries and agro-chemicals for the farms and the establishment of new farms-settlements in Lesotho and Swaziland.


This land problem arose when president Robert Mugabe introduced a new land Acts which wholly affectedthe rich white farmers and some objective blacks vehemently condemned the modus operandi adopted by the government. This resulted to forceful ejection of whites from their lands, rampant killings,arson and mob actions by the war veteran and some political thugs. Precisely, more than one hundred and seven(107)people have been killed and many others maimed for life in the past, and up till this year,BBC and CNN have reported of more killingsin the farm-land violence.

Heads of government from the Western World, especially Britain and the
United States of America havevoiced their condemnation over Mugabe's obnoxious land acts .
As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of Zimbabwean government who have tactically frozen my family's wealth.Secondly,my mother is presently sick of HEART DISEASE and the need to for a medical operation soon is important.


Presently, l am residing temporarily in Johannesburg pending the outcome of an appeal filed on my behalf by my attorney for the Department of Home Affairs to grant me asylum status.At the moment l amin dilema on how to move this money safely out of Johannesburg due to the fiscal laws inhibiting South African Refugees on monetary policy.l request that you grant methe consent to present you and your company as the beneficiary of the Consignment{box of money} ,so that l can be able to transfer the money to your nominated account outside South Africa for investment purpose.

As a business man whom I wish to entrust my future and that of my
family on his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free as far as you keep it secreet and modalities to effect this transfer is ready with the help of our family lawyer,a
member of a Bank-board, a South African and my late father's friend that helped him in depositing this money in the said security company as a consignment.Therefore if this proposal is acceptable to you, we are willing to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance,
75%will be for me and my family while 5%will be used for capital transfer tax based on South African Banking stipulations and any other expenses that might be incurred in the course of this transaction.


If this proposal is acceptable by you please do not hesitate to contact me soon as possible, bearing in mind the confidentiality and privacy this transaction requires at the moment .

Best Regards,


GEORGE ABBEY

{For the family.}

Attention My dear Friend & partner,

My name is dr Barry Favour,a banker by profession and currently a director with Bank of Africa Cotonou Benin republic branch.

Iget your name and address in my search for a reputable and reliable person to help me claim the sum of US$9.8 Million United states dollars deposited in our bank by one of our customer who died with the wife and two children on the 21st day of April 2000 in a car crash along novessel road.

Since his death no one has come up as his next of kin and all our efforts to locate any member of his immediate family has prove abortive that was why I decided to see if i can get anybody who has the same surname or last name with him via internet preferably, some one of the same nationality with him which I believe you have all the qualities we need.

Why I am contacting you is to present you to our bank as the next of in to our deceased customer he was a drilling contractor with some oil companies here in west africa, because you have the same surname/last name with him and he is from the same country with you.so it will be more acceptable and wiser to present you through paper work to the bank for the claim of the total fund.

I will give you all the necessary requirements that the bank may request from you and follow up the transfer of the fund into your a/c as an insider.it will interest you to know that i and my partners has been keeping our eyes on this funds and has put the account blind and covered to the public by keeping the account dormant to enable our plans for the funds to come through and this is the time and we are happy to locate you for the perfection of the transfer of the fund into your nominated bank a/c to be given.

As soon as I get your positive response I will update you about the mode of disbursement and we will also need to know about investing in your country as a way to of helping you people who suppose are the original owners of this funds.

Looking forward to your urgent response by updating me with your direct telephone and fax number for easy communication.

Yours sincerely,
Barry Favour.

From: Mrs.Joy Peters

Dear Friend,

I am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment for
cancer now.I am married to Dr. George Peter.We were married for eleven
years
without a child.He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four
days. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his
death I
decided not to re-marry or get a
child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my
late
husband was alive he deposited the sum of$27.5Million (twenty-seven
Million
Five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one finance company in
Europe.
Presently,this money is still with the Security Company.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three
months
due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.
Having
known my
condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a
Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct here in.I want a church or individual that will use this to
fund
churches,
orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that
the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that
Blessed is the hand that givelth. I took this decision because I dont
have
any
child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not
Christians and I dont want my husbands hard earned money to be misused
by
unbelievers.

I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly
manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid
of
death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in
the
bosom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case
and
I shall hold
my peace. I don?t need any telephone communication in this regard
because
of my health and because of the presence of my husbands relatives
around me
always. I dont want them to know about this development. With God all
things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you
the
contact of the Finance/Security Company Europe.

I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as
the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to
always
pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I
lived a
life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must
serve
him in spirit, and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your
life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sousing for a church or
Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you
will
act
Accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord,His Love.

I await your response.
Regards and God Bless.
Mrs. Joy Peters

Me, I no dey waste precious time for 419ers. However, I just decided to amuse myself the other day and thought of sending a reply to one of the many that reach my box weekly.


The email>>>>>>>>

From, Mrs Claudette Ngolo

please if you truly want to assist us you are require to reply to:
claudettengolo@fastermail.com

Dear Friend.
I believe you would be of great assistance to me and my children.
I am Mrs Claudette Ngolo, the wife of the late Mr. Alfred Ngolo Jr of
blessed memory. Prior to my husband assassination by the rebel forces
loyal to the revolutionary United Front (RUF), he was the Director
General National Gold and Diamond Mining Corporation of Sierra-Leone.
Few days before my husband was asassinated, he instructed me and my
children (Geoffrey and Alima) to move out of Sierra-Leone and also to go
in his underground strong room where the documents of the money he has
deposited in a security company in Abidjan Cote d´Ivoire in one metalic
trunk box as family valuables and treasures with the name of my first
son Geoffrey as the beneficiary. The amount is US$4.5 (Four Million five
hundred thousand united states dollars).

We managed to escape to Abidjan the Republic of Cote d´Ivoire through
the help of my husband´s friend who is a trawler. As our travelling
document was seized.I am now looking for a trustworthy and God fearing
person who will handle this money for rapid profit for the future of my two
fatherless children.

For your information, the security company did not know the real
content of the box and we do not wish them to know until the money is
transferred to your account. As it was deposited as family valuables and
treasures. Meanwhile, I want to leave Cote d´Ivoire entirely for investment
of this money in your country and mostly for the future of my children.
I want you to please assist us to claim the box from the security
company and to deposit the money in your account as to order the bank to
transfer the money to your account in your country. As our foreign partner

Finally please ensure that no one else knows about this money as it is
only myself my son, and yourself  knows about this money. May God
protect and guide you as you assist me.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Claudette & Children

Much as I would like to help a genuine case, here's my answer to the above:>>>>>>>>


Dear Mrs Claudette,

So, your children bear both English (Geoffrey) and Muslim (Alima) names - how come? And typical
rebels don't leave any boxes unsearched - so if you had any metal boxes, they would be the first to
find the money, not an overseas victim.

You know what? Your mail is the typical 419 mould, and it is not in my interest to pay any attention
to it. You left a lot of loop holes that expose you for what you really are. In what country do I live, and
what business do you suppose I am involved in? If only you knew.

My advice is that you altogether give up this game, or pursue it to your downfall. Using God's name for
fraud has its big repercussions on Judgement Day. If you still want my bank account, you can send the
stolen money to Revelation 21:8. Login in with the password "all liars" and a new account will be
created for you. It will take just a few more days to process your investment papers and rapid profit
when Jesus comes. Quick business delivery at the Judgement seat of Christ is given to first class
thieves like you, if you qualify; but please note that completed transactions by death without
repentance are not redeemable or refundable. If you've got questions, we'll be most happy to help - call
the toll-free number 1-800-john3:16. Hotlines open 24 hours anywhere in the world.

Yours and happy in His Service,
Jesus Pikin.

Believe it or not, it's been about two weeks since I sent that, and all of a sudden no more 419 mails have been coming my way. I have a sneaky suspicion that, perhaps, the same guys are behind this game, or at least, the same guys are behind the ones that have been reaching my e-box all the while.

Most of the 419 always have to do with wife of someone weitin

those mails come in thesame format. when i see dear ma/sir!! someone died!! millions of dollars!! nah straight to trash. and beware they are doing lotto now. pluz they have london numbers now and are answering the phone calls in naija. one of my friend (i couldnt believe it) even went as far as trying to ask me for bank details so that a wired transfer can come to me and we could both split the money. if u have no business with whatever the mail suggest dont be money hunger or relationship thirsty like most people tend to be, clear the mails part for a safe journey to the trash can.

I recieve mails like dat too, but wen i read and im not familiar with the sender i just delete it

hi how are u there hope ur fine my name is stanley kinly call me on +2348025070242 i will waiting ur call

Hi everyone

I get these all the time. I played around with it for a while doing some Scambaiting. Check out these entertaining sites www.419eater.com and www.ebolamonkeyman.com to see just how far it can be taken. But you have to be careful to remain anonymous.

On a serious note, vulnerable people fall victim to these criminals and it costs them thousands.

So if you really want to help shut it down, then whenever you get one, forward the email, with header information showing to abuse@<theISPof their email address> asking that they take appropriate action. A lot of the time they will terminate the account.

It only takes a minute to do and while it won't stop these people completely it will waste their time and may even prevent someone vulnerable from being able to reply to them.

All the best.
