"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 Friend,

I am the Credit and Investment Director, KAS Bank London, located at Suite 560 Salisbury House London Wall Broadgate London EC2M 5NU, United Kingdom. I handle all our Investor's Direct Capital Funds and secretly extract 0.5% of Excess Maximum Return Capital Profit (EMRCP) per annual , on each of the Investor's Capital Funds. As an expert, I have made well above ?600M GBP (Six Hundred Million Great British Pounds Only) from Investor's EMRCP and hereby looking for someone to trust who will stand as an Investor to receive the funds as Tenure Investment Proceeds.

Brief history of funds: I have more than 208 Corporate Investors attached to my portfolio whose Capital Investment Funds are being managed and administered by me. This Capital Investment Funds has a value of over ?120B GBP (One Hundred & Twenty Billion Great British Pounds Only). The ?120B GBP is been used for trading in Stock Market, Crude Oil and Lending with Profit Returns. At the end of each fiscal year, each corporate investor is expected to receive interests from his total Investment Capital Funds. However, I make an excess of 0.5% from the Investor's Capital Funds annually which have exceeded our targeted 20% of Total Investment Capital Funds. This extra of 0.5% from the 21.2% has been retained by me as my personal profits for Capital Investment management.


However, I cannot claim these funds without presenting someone to stand as an Investor/beneficiary otherwise our establishment will convert the funds into the Government Treasury Account as unclaimed funds thus the funds will be returned to the treasury dept of my governments coffers . This is why i"m contacting you , in seeking your consent to have you presented as an Investor/Beneficiary of the funds. I have also employed the services of the DEUTSCHE LEASING IBERICA SPAIN and they have processed the necessary document for the claim of the funds and they would have it transferred to you accordingly, once the funds is released to you , we will share the funds 55% for me and 45% for you, or better yet you can help me invest my 55%.

This is a fair deal without any risk attached either on your part or on mine , so long as we comply with the laws governing the claims of funds in the Spain. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.
