"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!

My name is Reem E. Hashimy, the Emirates Minister of State and Managing Director of the United Arab Emirates (Dubai) World Expo 2020 Committee.

I am writing you to be my investment partner to manage investment funds I received as gratification from various foreign companies I assisted to secure participating right to the Dubai World Expo 2020 coming up next year. The amount is $24,762,906.00 United States dollars.

I could not receive this fund directly because of the sensitive position of my office as well as my marriage life as a Muslim woman with lot of restrictions.

For this reason, an agreement was reached to deposit the various financial gifts in a open beneficiary account with a financial institution where it will be possible to instruct the transfer of right of ownership on the fund to a third party partner for investment purpose. This is the reason I contacted you to receive the fund for investment in your country while at same time grant you the opportunity to participate in the Dubai Expo 2020 as part of the investment plan.

The details will be discuss on your response.

Wishing you the best in the year.
