It's about this 23 year old female named Miss. Karen Walter Kipkalya. She is from Kenya and her father was the former Kenyan road Minister.

Basically she is sad because her father boarded an airplane that crashed. The link is in there.

After her father's burial, her stepmother and uncle sold all of her father's property for themselves and left nothing for her.

She found out that her father left 20.8 Million USD in a Security Finance Company.
She went to try and withdraw some, but they told her that the money would only be released to her when she is married or presents a trustee who will help her and invest the money overseas.

Now she wants to transfer that money into my bank account to try to help her. I will get 40% of the said amount.
That's basically it.

*Gives bank account info*

Welcome to Logical gamers.

Code:

If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The so-called "419" scam (aka "Nigeria scam" or "West African" scam) is a type of fraud named after the article of the Nigerian criminal code under which it is prosecuted. Here is a typical example.

Typically, victims of this scam are promised a portion of a large sum of money sitting in a bank account or in a deposit box at a security company, simply for providing a bank account to transfer the money into or for posing as a relative of a deceased person. Another very common variant promises a lottery prize from an internet lottery.

If recipients fall for the scam they are made to part with thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars in "bribes" for local officials, prepayments for courier services or deposits for accounts at (fake) banks before the "partners" disappear without trace. Read more about this type of scam here.

jwSpamSpy, our spam filter for MS Windows 2000 and XP ™, recognizes and filters almost all "419" spam emails. Over 17,000 such emails that were sent to us have been analyzed and archived. jwSpamSpy filters about 200 more "419" mails from our mailboxes per day.

The following addresses were used for 419 scam emails:

the $15.5m in cash was made with UPS shipping Courier
