"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!

Dear Sir/Madam,
 
I was privileged to come across your contact through my personal check with the GCC Investment Trade Real Estate Exhibition portal and I decided that I should establish a communication with you to acquiring some information on lucrative investment or real estate investment in  any other Part of the world.  However, I will appreciate if you can be of good assistance to me as I am willing to invest this money heavily in the real estate investment or any other invest market sector provided I will have a good partner or investor as well as fund manager who will guild on this business framework and as thus, share with me on the ROI in any venture which we have considered lucrative to invest in.  I am (MRS. ANDISWA MUDADA) a widow and the wife of a Late of Zimbabwean Farmer ( MR. SIMBI EDMORE MUDADA). I am contacting you as the need for me to have a foreign partner in your country has become necessary due to my plans to relocate from here and to establish a private company in that region.

I have not managed any business before but have always dream of running my own company establishment hence my desire to recapitalize in the GCC market. Basically, I am married to late (MR. SIMBI EDMORE MUDADA) Family. As the present political instability in my country Zimbabwe, does not encourage financial investment, as the environment is not conducive for investment and most of all security is not insured, just as reported by international media.

This problem started when the Zimbabwean government under the leadership of President Robert Mugabe announced a degree on May 31st 2000 to seize more than 879 white-owned farms. So far, more than 1,800 white owned and black farms have been invaded and confiscated, as well as claiming t he properties of the farmers. Therefore, I decided to contact you, for your assistance, so that I can establish a company in your country and relocate there with this money mine father kept for me in a security and trust company in South Africa

This Amounted to US$20.5. Million, you will upon receiving this money on my behalf, pending my arrival to meet with you in your country so that we can both make further arrangements with regards to establishing the Company. As a partner you will be entitled to 20% of the total sum, and in whichever company that we both decide to establish when I arrive your country we shall discuss that facially. You can contact me or my SON MR GAMBA MUDADA. And also view our political website: Zimbabwe farmer victim of latest Mugabe land eviction Kobus Jobbers, who is in his 70s, is a former president of the Zimbabwe Tobacco Association, whose members used to earn 60 per cent of the country's export earnings before Mr. Mugabe destroyed commercial agriculture with the seizure of white-owned Farmer in Zimbabwe

I am waiting urgently for your Reply.

Thanks God Bless You And you’re Family.
Best Regards,
MRS.ANDISWA MUDADA (FOR THE FAMILY)
