"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!

Salam Alaikum,

Established in 1976, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) is a
globally diversified investment institution in Abu Dhabi.


ADIA's mission is to invest funds on to make available the necessary
financial resources to secure and maintain the future welfare of the
Emirate.

ADIA manages a substantial global investment portfolio, which is
highly diversified across more than two-dozen asset classes and
sub-categories, including quoted equities, fixed income, real estate,
private equity, alternatives and infrastructure.

With a long tradition of prudent investing, ADIA's decisions are based
solely on its economic objectives of delivering sustained long-term
financial returns.

ADIA's investment strategy involves looking beyond individual economic
cycles and focusing on strategies aimed at capturing secular trends
and outperforming the market over the long term.

ADIA Investment opportunities at Abu Dhabi range from investment
affiliated with the industries, such as direct investment in tourism,
aviation, real estate, business investment, industrialization and
marine based projects. ADIA is providing middle and back office
outsourcing of fund administration services representing over $400
billion (Seven Hundred Billion United States Dollars)in committed
capital for various investment opportunities at the Abu Dhabi, UAE and
we wish to re-invest this fund by putting it into the management of
private businessmen and corporations with good business ideas that can
generate at-least 10% ROI per annum over maximum of 5 years duration.

ADIA seeks private equity partners to acquire value-added
multinational properties in the World's growth markets. We are looking
for equity partners, Fund raisors and agents who will pay up to 4.5%
interest and part equity position with a five year hold. In 2016, we
plan on acquiring up to $900 Billion in high-quality, low risk assets
and investments to capitalize on the current market cycle.

Our investment strategy requires a careful balance between discipline
and flexibility: discipline to ensure the portfolio remains closely
aligned with our long-term vision; and flexibility to react to major
changes ahead of long-term trends, such as our decision to begin
investing in alternatives as early as 1986 and in private equity in
1989.


we are privately looking for fiduciary agents and management experts
who will be willing to act as investment portfolio holders and
administrators.


ADIA is acting as a lender and the fund will be disbursed on a clear
loan of 4.5% interest annually to the equity partners for their
investment projects.


We focus on seed capital, early-stage, start-up ventures, existing
LLC and total completion and expansion of investment projects with
immediate funding. We have extensive corporate and private business
investments at Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA).
