"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: Part-Time Partnership

My Dear,


There is need for you to respond to this message as I am once again trying to reach you after my previous message to you returned undelivered. Let me know if you receive this. I am contacting you based on recommendation, so please take a minute to go through this message. It is worth your patience.

Mr. Zhang J. Yong is a founding associate of Xinxiang HY Crane Co. Ltd, China. A global manufacturing conglomerate of experts on Sales, Leasing and Shipping of Steel products, Heavy machineries, Construction equipments, metallurgical components and other metal fabrications under the HY Crane franchise. We are expanding globally and promoting our products through equipment leasing, sales and hire-purchase customers worldwide. Unlike customers from other countries who prefer outright cash purchase, majority of our customers in USA prefer leases, hire-purchases and product rentals on a recurring weekly/monthly payment plan. Therefore, Mr. Zhang Yong is proposing a partnership with you on the area of Cash Management. Our goal is to automate our lease collections by scheduling recurring monthly billings for lease collections and hire-purchases payments via automated electronic receivables solution to reduce defaults. All payments will be via recurring weekly/ monthly direct deposit and debits.

You do not have to be an expert in financial matters to partner with us, because most financial institutions already have recurring billing solution tailored for this type of transactions. We will make recommendation and suggestions on the payment modes and guide you on how to enroll at your institutions in order to handle our lease collections.

Apart from corporate account owners, recurring weekly/monthly electronic payments for; Leases, Hire-purchases and Equipments Service Manifests Subscription fees can also be collected using Business PayPal account, Merchant Account, Brokerage Account as well as Revolving Credit Lines such as; (1)Home Equity Line of Credit, (2)Business Line of credit and (3) Credit Cards on a weekly or monthly recurring basis electronically.

Our aim is to automate all incoming payments to you on a recurring weekly/monthly basis for up to one year and this part-time partnership is permanent.

Our products are currently on display at global e-Commerce portals such as globalsources.com, globalsources.com.kh, alibaba.com, alipay.com as well as made-in-china.com, with intention to list them also at ebay.com soon.

Currently, we have 102 'leasees' and 'payors' with letter of intention on over 80 items on our inventory and are insisting on preference for recurring weekly/monthly automated billing system to enable scheduled payments to process automatically every due date weekly or monthly without need for trips to banks or reminders.

We are offering you 7.5% commission per batch of payment received for us plus a fixed monthly remuneration of $2000. This is a part-time offer once set up, will process scheduled payments automatically after initial entry of customer data on the portal. Imagine earning 7.5% weekly on a recurring basis permanently. Our weekly cash-flow expectation is average of $100,000.00 and monthly average of $500,000. So your wages is $2,000 ($24,000 annually) plus 7.5% of recurring weekly and monthly cash inflow.

Note that the amount, to be received weekly depends entirely (for corporate account owners, merchant account and Business PayPal owners) on the limit that will be approved by your financial institutions but for those who have Revolving Credit Lines such as (1)Home Equity Line of Credit, (2)Business Line of credit and (3) Credit Cards; the batch payments amount depends on your credit limit.

Our aim is to automate all incoming payments to you on a recurring weekly/monthly basis for up to one year and this part-time partnership is permanent and for more information contact us on this email xinxianghycrancoltd@outlook.com
