"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!

Message Body:
Hello

My name is Sergey and I am a founder of Sweaty Quid Freelancer Marketplace where you are able to buy and sell all types of on-line solutions ranging from back links and guest post to explainer video clips, infographics and blog posts for your website.

I believe that you and atp.com.mt could truly benefit from Sweaty Quid, whether you wish to supply your services or employ the services of freelancers to assist you to expand your company.

I have been a freelancer on various marketplaces for in excess of 5 years and have had my accounts arbitrarily closed down, my incomes pocketed and I simply had a hard time with many poor quality freelancers. After much frustration, I decided to launch my very own freelance marketplace that would do things differently and a lot better.

After almost one year of caffeinne powered nights, myself and my crew at Creative Bear Tech have developed Sweaty Quid from ground up. One month into our launch we have managed to bring in a good variety of top-notch freelancers and an unbelievably high number of repeat customers. I feel this functions as a confirmation to our excellence.

Sweaty Quid is a spam-free and straightforward market place for quality freelancers and buyers. We are rigorously banning all spammy sellers who do not pass our quality threshold and leave only the very best ones. Keeping up with the current technologcal developments, we also take cryptocurrency as one of our payment methods. Our ethos that defines us is that sometimes less is more, specifically when it comes to high quality freelancers.

We are still very new in contrast to other freelance marketplaces, but we are already punching above our weight.

I would like to welcome you personally to register with Sweaty Quid Freelancer Marketplace!


Kind regards
