"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: FWD>> MY NEW PICK - NGHT!



Hey Kids,

Statler here. I have been hard at work finishing up the due diligence on my latest MONSTER PICK.

Let's get ready to Rock!

My newest pick is NightCulture Inc. and it trades under the ticker - NGHT.

NGHT is poised for a break-out after they just announced the line-up for this year's Something Wicked Festival. The company should be expecting record attendance and Record Revenues!

Did you know that a recent Forbes article pegged the EDM/Festival music scene at $6billion dollars, which is a 50% increase over last year's valuation?

NGHT has watched the attendance of their festival grow year over year as they have built a national branded festival, I believe with this year's lineup they will crush last year's numbers with record attendance.

NGHT is priced cheaply in the market to give all my readers the best chance to lock in a great trade.

Last year's Something Wicked festival was broadcasted live on Satellite radio, and is now known as a nationwide Halloween event.

NGHT also has the Biggest Festivals in the state of Texas, and promoted live events in 5 markets.

The company will do almost $7million in revenue this year, and a good Festival attendance should mean Profits for the company's bottom line

So do some mental math.

If this Festival does well in its fourth year, Live Nation and other players in the space may look to Purchase the brand from NightCulture and expand the Festival Nationwide like EDC and others have done.


A quick read through the company's filings, and the whole market can see why I'm picking NGHT.

I have finally put you, my readers into a position to ride on a rocket ship like I believe NGHT is going to be you have to get your seat before the ship takes off.

So to recap we have a massive Festival worth Millions of Dollars and a price point that should make every one of my reader's money. Can you say winning!

After the last couple picks, I owed it to all of you to give you something that will scream.

Nothing says I'm sorry like the potential for 500 to 1,000% gains, just for you!

The company does 6 times more in revenue than its Market Cap.

I think you would be doing yourself a huge favor if you put NGHT on your trading radar immediately.

Happy Trading,



Mike
