"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: Dear Sir.

Dear Sir,

I am Hamad Al-Mohannadi Member of the Board in Qatar Petroleum.

I have been on routine spiritual meditation as instructed by an Imam
on this issue, and I was informed by the same Imam that you are the
gentleman with integrity I am seeking to find. You may not believe or
accept the fact that the world we dwell in is being controlled from
the spiritual hemisphere, however, that is my core value believe and
faith.

I have 100Million USD legal fund of mine in a Bank in Dubai. I will
give you the certificate of deposit and prove of fund when you respond
to my email.

I seek for a capable hand to invest this fund in any lucrative
business that has the capability to yield 10% return on investment
yearly, excluding the first year the fund was invested.

I am considering resigning in a monthsâ€™ time, and I need to secure my
family future as fast as possible.

The brokerage company who were doing bond/stock trading on the said
fund before stock went down all over the world, will transfer all
right to you by my authorization letter. If you assure me that you can
handle the investment fund with my condition of 10% ROI as stated
above.

My Investment attorney will have to draft a memorandum of
Understanding which we will read agree and sign before proceeding with
this joint venture investment proposal.

I await your swift response

Yours Sincerely
Hamad Al-Mohannadi.
