"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!

Hello,

You are invited to our moderately priced training on:

‘MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT: MASTERING STRATEGY’

This program will hold from October 29 to November 3, 2012 in DUBAI UAE.

This 6-day management training course will give a thorough overview of the
new skills and techniques you will need to master in order to succeed as a
Manager or a management staff. The training seeks to stimulate
participants’ awareness of the need to employ creative and strategic
thinking as tools for personal development as well as contribute to
organizational excellence.

The lack of management know-how is manifested in faulty decisions and the
inability to meet targets. Problem solving and decision-making is
especially important for management and leadership. A recent poll found
that more than 50 percent of managers received NO training before starting
the job. This course helps managers become more flexible and responsive to
their employees' needs in order to increase retention and achieve greater
productivity.
