"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!

Typically, we invest up to One million US Dollars via a simple convertible loan for 5% of the future equity (for start-ups) or 10% interest payable over a 5-year term (terms may vary). If everything looks great, we continue investing more money together with our community of entrepreneurial angels.
Flexibility is our forte. At least in terms of our investment directive. As an entrepreneur, you have to take fast decisions. We do the same, aiming to decide on initial investment within 10 working days. We invest with founder-friendly terms and stick to our values that define the way we work.
