"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!

Subject: I want to invest in residential / commercial Real Estate Properties

Hi,

My name is Robert Delano Alexander , a US national, currently resident in London,

United Kingdom, and I am a property developer/Realtor. The current worldwide

recession has necessitated investing in the USA, and beyond for real estate

investment/development. There will be enormous profits when the world economy

eventually recovers in the long term.

Therefore, I intend to invest US$20 million plus in outright purchase of prime

properties and housing Estate development, in the USA and Canada, the Caribbean,

Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East, and the South Americas…

I therefore need a Local Representative/ Agent, who will handle my interests,

including purchase/ lease of land and Prime building properties ( Residential and

Commercial). My Agent/representative will receive a minimum of 10% of the total

budget spent on properties acquisition , plus all costs. To qualify, you need NOT

be a certified Realtor, or even have experience in the real Estate business. I need

an AGENT- ADMINISTRATOR , who can hire local professional REAL ESTATE AGENTS on my

behalf, whose job it will be to select, appraise and value/negotiate, perform due

diligence on properties, and finally give advice to purchase…

If you are interested, please send to me via email your complete details, including

your company profile.

Thank you!

Best regards,

Robert Delano Alexander
