Dear Sir/Madam,
Before reading this email I will like to inform you that this is not one of those junk emails you may have received by strange dishonest individuals who uses people’s personal details fraudulent acts. Do take this email very seriously and confidential because it contents are 100% truth.
My name is Mr.Tabiso Mbeki I work for AMERICAN EXPRESS BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA, Am contacting you for a business proposal which I have no doubt will benefit us both at the end. I would like us to work as partners in transferring the sum of $5 million [FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS] into your bank account.
These funds were deposited into our bank by one tourist from Netherlands MR. SRAN VAN DER VON whom has visited south Africa for the FIFA WORLD CUP TOURNAMENT. After his country lost to SPAIN in the final, the man committed suicide in his hotel room the same night after the soccer match. Latter a report came to our bank that the man took his own life as a result of his country loosing to Spain and the main reason for his action is that the man has gambled with his MINING COMPANY in Netherlands and this company is said to worth about 50 million united states dollars thinking his country will surely win but unfortunately the match did not go his way.
In our bank records he has no family we could contact to inform them about the deposited funds and when making the deposit with our bank, he stated that the funds were meant for an investment in mining here in south Africa because of its rich in mineral resources.
Am contacting you so we work together on how the funds can be transferred from our bank to your bank account in your country or anywhere else you feel will be secure for us. And do note that I can not make the transfer of the funds out of the bank alone without contacting a foreigner to work with me and that’s why I have contacted you so that the bank will notice any foul play.
I give you a 100% assurance that these funds will be released to you only if you will work with me in truth and honesty. Am aware of things going on over the internet but please take this proposal very serious because this is a life changing opportunity.
Do give me a call as soon as you have received this email so I can give you more details and how the transfer will be carried out.
Thanks.
Tabiso Mbeki.

I get hundreds of these every day. The dead give-away is always the grammer and spelling. And you cant even send them an e-mail to thank them for their sincerity but will they please f@#$%f.

Some advise - rather ignore the whole thing. These a-holes are getting better and better at gaining access to your personal info.

Google 419 Scam baiters. Some guys out there are pros at turning the tables on 419 scammers. They've managed to con scammers into getting tattoos and even carving a computer keyboard out of wood.

Here are some examples:

You know these real crappy e mails that you get when you open it some real weird face jumps out and scares the living s.....t out of you.

When again you win something send one of these to the return mail address.

Then add at the bottom,

YOU ARE NOW BEWITCHED, I possess you

Superstitious bunch, you might just earn a laugh

Maybe everyone should reply to these guys and give them false banking details. Flood them with so many replies it won't be worth them sifting through all the false ones to find the few suckers who believe they can get some money out of these scammers.
