"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!

Attn: Sir/madam,

RE: Investment Opportunity!!!

Permit me to introduce myself, my name is Mr. Rolando Madriz. I'm well established independent consultant in New York, USA handling a wide range of trade & investment matters. Just recently, I was consulted and mandated by a client of mine to source for a reliable entrepreneur to assist invest funds totaling $119,000,000.00.(One Hundred & Nineteen thousand USD only).

What my client needs is a country that is politically stable with an excellent investment climate. A top personality by whom investment on a large scale could be handled and the said funds invested on viable projects.

Firstly, our conviction is your transparency; meaning you will not â€˜sitâ€™ on the funds when it arrives in your account. Secondly, that you treat this transaction with confidentiality and also if you can provide an account for which you have absolute control hence the funds can be approved to your nominated bank account. Your main responsibility is to ensure the total evacuation of the funds from where it is secured at the moment. Should you however be in a position to secure the funds and to handle the investment desire of my client; please notify me so that I can give further details and also arrange for an early meeting where we shall discuss among others, investment areas, evacuation or transfer of the funds and above all the benefits of our business partnership.

I believe you will show utmost interest as I will be looking forward to doing business with you.

Yours sincerely,
Mr. Rolando Madriz
