"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: Seeing Is Believing! Search Engine Rankings Before Payment!!

If you’re not on the first page of Google, you may as well not have a website!

Of the 8 billion pages indexed in Google your site ranks among the heap of sites ranked on the 3rd - 5th results page no doubt.
Along with the challenge and responsibility that entails, a critical problem exists one of which I’m certain you’re aware.

More and more, reaching the first page of Google results seems impossible.


Sound familiar?

How to get listed on the first page of Google?

How many SEO agencies claiming top placement have failed to meet the standards?

How much have you spent in wasted time, motion, and money weeding out ill-suited SEO companies the hard way?

And SEO companies can charge you tens of thousands of dollars with NO GUARANTEE.

We do things a little differently. You pay no money up front. All the risk is on us.

We guarantee your website will rank on the first page of Google. We build as many pages with many targeted search terms as possible to make this happen for your company.

Most cases we will build out 1000 plus pages like a mini search engine around your service or product to get many pages as possible to rank for your business to drive "TRAFFIC" to your site to generate the leads needed for revenue.



We target "LOCAL SEARCH TERMS" for your business.

Example... landscaping toronto, landscaping service toronto, landscaping company toronto


If we succeed, we charge you $2000.00.

That is not a monthly fee. That is a one time charge and your listings will last for many years to come.

And to make the deal even sweeter you will rank for hundreds of search terms not just 3 or 4.



We don't guess what search terms to use, we use data mined from google. Google makes this data public so we can use this data for an unfair advantage against the compitition.

Google will tell us the "EXACT" search terms people are submitting in your local area for us to use in your marketing campaign.



And if we don’t succeed? Well, you won’t be charged a dime. Not a single cent.



We call this a “Can’t Lose” proposition.
