"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

HISTORY

The Zambaiti Group’s long history is marked by research into
product quality,  accompanied by creativity and innovative design.
Backed up by on-going technological advances, the four protagonists in the Group are not only leaders in their particular sectors, but also set the standards for the class of clientele on the look-out for top quality goods at a reasonable cost.
 
INTEGRATION
 

Whilst retaining their autonomy, these companies all have a decisive common denominator: vertical integration. In other word, every step in their particular production chain is checked and double-checked, from the choice of suppliers to the creation of the end product.
This modus operandi also means that not only is there closer quality control, but production times are reduced and costs are lower.
That’s why the Zambaiti Group has been a sound and reliable partner for its clients over the years, always ready to offer them what they want, when they want it.
