"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: INVESTMENT AND DONATION

Dear Sir / Madam ,

I have investor that want to invest [ $6.8 Billion Dollars ] into a company
that needs fund for expansion only. He cannot invest the money to new
Companies that want to start up but into Companies that has been making
good profits but needs funds for EXPANSION. He can only invest in start up
if the investment proposal is realistic.The investor is a Prince from Saudi
Arabia.

His Area of concentrations are Real Estate, Biotech,Textiles , Information
technology, Pharmaceuticals , Oil & Energy Industries, Mining & Metals
Industry, Management Consulting Industry ,Maritime industry, Hospital &
Health Care Industry, Consumer Services Industry, International Trade and
Development Industry , Gambling & Casinos Industry, Electrical/Electronic
Manufacturing Industry, Insurance Industry, Chemical industries, Marketing
and Advertising Industry, Leisure, Travel & Tourism Industry, Agriculture,
Aviation, Retail , Import and Export, Trade and development industry, Real
Estate & Construction Industry and any other viable investment
opportunities.

If you recommend a Company to take loan or investment funds from my client
the investor, me and you will be entitled to 5% of any amount received by
the Company from the investor but if you are taking the fund directly as a
company i will be entitled to 2.5% and you will retain 2.5% as Global
Finder's fee commission.

There will be a face to face meeting between the investor and the invitee
after signing (MOU) the (AORI) should not be less than 3% per annul if it's
loan or direct project financing.

Look for a reliable Company that need funding and we can easily make 5% of
the amount received from the investor but we need to maintain absolute
confidentiality in the transaction as the fund provider want to remain
silent, so you have to keep it highly confidential between us.

I will need the company profile and the project summary of the company that
will need funding to present to my investor.
