"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,


How are you doing today,I hope all is well with you.


Thanks for your mail, as regards the acquisition of the BG/SBLC for project financing.

As a professional in this industry with over 20 years of experience, i will advice that you seek for a cash loan instead of a BG/SBLC.

Note that in the market today it is impossible to get a genuine BG/SBLC from any of the AA rated banks. All you have flying around are 100% fake.

Also, when you get a genuine BG/SBLC which is almost impossible it is almost difficult for you to monetize it at the same face value issued thereby running short of funds.

I hope you know that not all platforms or countries accept BG/SBLC, THEREBY MAKING IT WORTHLESS. the least fee for a genuine BG IS 35% WHILE FOR PURCHASE IS 52%, compare this cost to the interest rate of 3% in acquisition of a cash loan, you would agree with me that getting a cash loan is far better.

Moreover our underwriter Company will give you the loan without upfront payment at the interest of 3%.

Kindly contact the underwriter, Mr J.P Cotton, using the below details who will give you the necessary details to conclude the transaction.

COMPANY NAME: JP COTTON LTD
CONTACT PERSON: JOHN PETER COTTON (CEO)
EMAIL: johncoton@jpcottonltd.com, johncoton@jpcotton.com


Cotact him and get back to me fore advice


Regards.

Mr John Daniel
