"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 Investor

>From the directory of the United State I have chosen your contact Email for this partnership exercise and proposal.
Since foreign investors, oil tycoons and foreign banks are increasingly being lured to our region because of the cash fund shipping demand that has been on a rise despite the United State dollar control.
With my few years of experience in fund con-voyage within the United State, Middle East and the Russia federation, I have learn and knew how much cash funds are moved within the governments and banks sectors.
In the last 4 years, National Bank of Fujairah is the only bank in the Gulf region dedicated to ship Cash and finances while other local banks such as Emirates NBD, has extended to CASH loan facilities via shipment to the European and North American financial market.
As an Ex-portfolios manager and Fund con-voyager supervisor to the National Bank of Fujairah a leading partner to the INVEST BANK of U.A.E …… www.investbank.ae where I served before going on long vacation due to my critical illness.
As I am under intensive care in the United State due to cancer problem as luck would have it, I have managed and secured the sum of $14.5 Million made from some Cash fund co-voyage made from the United Arab Emirate to Russia federation during a back door transit completed between the National bank of Fujairah and a late director of an aviation company in Russia 4 years ago.
My situation is that, I need a sincere and capable investor as a partner outside United Arab Emirate to take possession of the fund and establish the fund into his own banking system and be used for investment for a period of 5 years.
I have written with a disguise address as you are well aware, this is a very sensitive situation as I am entrusting my life in your utmost confidence. If you are interested to partner with me, kindly advise me of your complete personal information for my confidential record and for the benefit of the agreement signing. You will be advised with my directives and instruction to contact a consultant of the financial institution for the fund recovery exercise in confidence.

With kindest regards, I am waiting anxiously for your response
