"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!

Dear sir,

I am Mr. Don Shishi,
I handle all our Investor's Direct Capital Funds and
secretly extract 1.2% Excess maximum Return Capital
Profit (EMRCP) per annum on each of the Investor's
Magellan Capital Funds. As an expert, I have made over
$44.5m from the Investor's EMRCP and hereby looking
for someone to trust who will stand as an Investor to
receive the funds as Annual Investment Proceeds from
Fidelity Magellan Capital Funds. All confirmable
documents to back up the claims will be made available
to you prior to your acceptance""

EXPLANATION:
I have more than 158 Corporate Investors
attached to my PORTFOLIO whose Capital Investment
Funds are been managed and administered by me alone.
This Capital Investment Funds has a value of
US$244Billion FIXED. The $244billion is been used for
trading in Stock Market, Crude Oil and Lending with
Profit Returns. Every Years, each Corporate Investor
is expected to receive 20% interest from his total
Investment Capital Funds which is paid to the Investor
annually as their Excess Maximum Return Capital Profit
(EMRCP) However, I made average of 21.2% from the
Investor's Investment Capital Funds annually which
have exceeded our targeted 20% of Investment Total
Investment Capital Funds. On this note, the extra 1.2%
from the 21.2% is been retained by me as my personal
profits for managing the Capital Investment. In the
other hands, I cannot claim this funds without
presenting someone to stand as an Investor otherwise
our Establishment will convert the funds into the
