"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Good day,

I am broker and a direct to a genuine/real Lender company of soft loan, non recourse loan, project funding and credit line. The Lender company has 100% success rate record on all transactions they have accepted from me.

Acceptable collateral is a fully cash backed BG or SBLC issued from an AAA rated top 25 banks. LTV (Loan To Value) for owned BG/SBLC is up to 98% while leased BG attracts 40% LTV. Interest rate for direct loan is between 1.5% - 2.5%. Minimum loan request is Two Hundred Million Euros (€200M) while the Maximum loan request is Four Hundred Billion Euros (€400B).

Also, if you do not have the required BG/SBLC-collateral or needs a BG/SBLC-collateral provider, I could direct you to an BG/SBLC-collateral provider who gave BG/SBLC collateral to my last client that secured a Three Billion Euros (€3B) loan from the Lender company.

Intermediaries/Consultants/Brokers are welcome to bring their clients and are 100% protected. In complete confidence, we will work together for the benefits of all parties involved.

For more information, endeavour to contact me quickly via my private email: fredknott11@gmail.com

Regards,

FRED KNOTT.
