One of the anti 419 websites pretends to be from the Church of bread and win and gets the scammers to send him photos of themselves with bread and win on their head. Also guys pretends to be from Trotters (only fools and horses) and has them send him wood carvings.

I could be rich!!!!!!!!

From: Mrs. Esther Dave

Life itself is a misery and nobody can tell what can be of it. Those that
can tell what can be of it are those who cannot tell us because they are
far from us (dead). if u will want to hear my story. I am the above named
person but now undergoing medical treatment for cancer.

I am married to Dr. Dave who worked with American embassy in Malaysia for
nine years before he died in the year 2006. well i will only try to let you know who
Dr.Dave is by stating his philosophy of life ."life is worth living only
if lived to the service of mankind" and "You make a living by what you
earn, but you make life by what you give" This will give you an insight of
the spirit behind what i believe and what i will live for because he is my
mentor.

To continue with my story, 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 have made something of and from life. Since his death
I decided not to re-marry or adopt a child, this is basically my own
decision to honor him for the love we shared and the life we lived for. My
late husband deposited the sum of$12.5Million (twelve point five Million
U.S. Dollars) with one finance company in Europe before his death
.
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 a church, better still a
Christian individual or a Muslim that will utilize this money the way I am
going to instruct herein. first you must abide and live with my husband's
philosophy, as stated you can't remember please i refer you to read
through from the introduction of this letter cause that is the most
important aspect that you must uphold.

Secondly I want an organization or an individual that is God fearing who
can invest the money and continuously use the money to fund
orphanages,widows,the less privileged,the disabled and all those afflicted
with strange illness or diseases.

Thirdly this money should not be used in an ungodly manner, or any form of
evil or selfishness for that will warrant evil to that persons life and
family from generations to generations. For you cannot use the hard earned
money of my husband and i for evil or ungodly purposes. If these
conditions are met i am not afraid of death for i know where i am going to
and my heart will rest in peace. I do not need any telephone communication
in this regard because of my health, for as soon as I receive your reply I
will refer you to the contact of the Finance/Security Company in Europe
and my doctor who shall arrange you the letter of claim from the Malaysia
High Court of Justice. This will be done if i see from your response that
you satisfy the above conditions stated.

As i stated My doctor will issue you a letter of authority that will
empower you as the original- beneficiary of this funds (consignment). i
choose this means to locate you because i am sure i will be lead by a good
spirit to the kind of person that will be honest.
Delay in your reply will not be of benefit to me due to my health
condition and this will propel me to search for someone else.Please assure
me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

Please do get to me immediately in my private email: mrsestherdave.estherdave766@gmail.com

Hoping to hear from you.

In His Services.
Mrs. Esther Dave.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if one of those actually turned out to be legitimate, if someone really was a wonderful generous person, they wouldn't even be able to give their money away. Of course anyone in this situation with half a brain would contact legitimate charities with whom to distribute the funds.

(http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb442/adidasguy/Videos/sorrytext.gif) Yea, just got back from bowling so (http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb442/adidasguy/Videos/chduh.gif) I wasn't thinking in my normal strange humor state.

I'm glad my achilles tendon is healed and the muscle is coming back. Actually rolled a 198 and a 233 tonight. Working on getting back to my 200 average.

Maybe I could use the $2.5 million or so to buy another bowling ball or two?

Dang - I erased that job offer to make $200 per report, reviewing Western Union offices and restaurants by doing transactions with them. That one said no risk at all!

On the good note a guy on my team said he just got a 2004 GS500. Waiting for pictures. (http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb442/adidasguy/Videos/HappyRoll.gif)

Those scams where they ask for your bank account details are NOT after your money in the bank by withdrawing it. That's a common misconception. Those scams work like this...

1. Tell mark they have a large sum of money coming to them.
2. Tell mark all that's needed is for them to forward their bank account details so the money can be deposited.

After mark sends details scammer writes back...

3. There is a Fund Release fee that must be paid. Should only be a couple hundred bucks.
4. Then there will be an international agent bond fee or some such jibble
5. Then another fee.
6. And another.

The scammer is after the money you Voluntarily pay in fees.

I've just been trying to sell a car. Its just a cheap run about. I posted an add on Ebay. Not more than 45 minutes later I get an SMS on my phone.

Saw your add. Car looks good, will pay $700 over asking price, I'll take it. Can you please email me at JuastinDoyle@gmail.com

So I emailed from a fake account just to see what I'd get. I mean who pays extra over asking price? I unfortunately deleted that account so I don't have the reply but it went along the lines of:

Hi. Can you send me more pics of the inside. Sorry didn't call the satellite on the oil rig is playing up. Send me your paypal account name and I'll arrange payment and send out my courier to collect the car.

I replied with I only accept cash as per my add.

I got something along the lines of Paypal is an formal method of payment for Ebay blah blah blah.

I lost interested and deleted the email account after forwarding the emails to Ebay and paypal. Paypal sent me a thank you email and they are looking into it (email bot sent reply). Heard nothing form Ebay.

Thankfully some real people called me and the car is going Friday.
Still I find it odd that people fall for it. Seriously 700 dollars on top of my 2 grand asking price? Really? 35% extra just cause they liked the add.
