"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!

Read more about such scams here or in our 419 FAQ. Use the Scam-O-Matic to verify suspect emails.

Dear Sir,
INVESTMENT INQUIRY

I am Mr. KENNEDY MALOI a Zimbabwean and the son of Chief Edward MALOI a
known farmer and the High Chief of Bulawya Town in Zimbabwe. I write on
behalf of the MALOI family, to inquire if you are available and have the
facility to assist my family to undertake some capital investments in your
country.

It will be necessary to inform you that the funds (US$11.5m) intended for
capitalization of the investments are presently in the custody of a private
security company here in Johannesburg, South Africa, which we require to
transfer out of South Africa immediately for the said investment purposes.

You may have heard of the present crisis in Zimbabwe orchestrated by the
unprecedented “Land Use Act” of the government of Robert Mugabe in which his
government has arbitrarily reclaimed and acquired all farm lands owned by
the white farmers in the country. This has caused a historical displacement
of the white folks who are known to be the country’s main farmers. The
ensuing struggles and strife have brought about the killing and imprisonment
of thousands of these white farm owners by the ruthless government forces
designated to enforce this new order.

My father, in his good will and capacity as the High Chief of Bulawya Town,
joined the international community in condemning and speaking out against
this uncivilized and bizarre policy of Robert Mugabe’s government. As a
result of my father’s firm and upright position on this matter, a group of
assailants suspected to be government sympathizers attached and killed my
father in cold blood in March last year. Seeing that the entire MALOI
family was in serious threat of extinction, we immediately fled Zimbabwe to
South Africa, where we have sojourned ever since.

Prior to my father’s untimely death, he had, sensing the rising hostilities
of the government of Robert Mugabe, sold all his farm lands including those
of five of his white farmer associates who had transferred ownership of
their farm lands to my father to forestall the government acquiring them.
Unfortunately, these white farmer associates of my father have also been
assassinated in the crisis. My father secretly sent the proceeds (US$11.5m)
from sales of the farm lands to South Africa, a neighboring sister country
and had deposited the same in a metal box with a private security company
here in Johannesburg. For obvious security reasons, contents of this metal
box were declared as “family Valuables” to the security company. The
ownership of this “depository” is now transferred to me by title, following
my father’s death.

Having seen your contact information in my father’s private study, we now
contact you for immediate assistance in lifting the funds out of South
Africa for the said investments. It will interest you to note that we have
all this while articulated the needful arrangements through which the
transfer will be effected. We will be willing to come to terms with you
regarding your reward for helping us actualize this matter. It is equally
important to state here that considering the nature of this matter, we will
required that it is handled most discreetly.

Kindly contact me using the above particulars upon receipt of this letter
for execution details and other necessary discussion.

In anticipation of your trusted and genuine assistance I remain,

Yours sincerely,

KENNEDY MALOI(MR)
