"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: Sad passing of Muhammad bin Nasser Wazan al-Qahtani

Greetings Respectful,

My name is PaltomaaTimo a senoir expert consultant and broker for Mckinsey & Company,  and I had the opportunity of working closely with Saudi businessman Muhammad bin Nasser Wazan al-Qahtani for a period of over 10 years as a business consultant and in that period we had grown very close together before the sad unfortunate event in Egypt.

I got your contact from the chamber of commerce and I am writing to you from a sad place after his demise and as a matter of urgency I would like to confide in you to discuss a possible investment into your business to rescue the Estate of Mohammed Al-Qahtani.

Sadly you can read below the news about his unexpected death while giving a speech in Cairo, Egypt at the Arab-African Conference on August 10th, 2022 of which I was also in attendance with him on that sad day.

Mohammed Al-Qahtani was the Saudi Aramco's senior vice president of Downstream and Prominent human rights in Saudi Arabia who was part of the fight to empower women against the wishes of the present administration.  Mohammed Al-Qahtani was a business mogul and was able to acquire millions of dollars through deals done with several multinational oil corporations using his office as Aramco's senior vice president. A lot of these funds were invested and deposited in several offshore accounts in Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

As you can see from the current trend of events because of his death, the present administration and wicked enemies of Mohammed Al-Qahtani have started witch-hunting and laying false accusations against him.   All these allegations are baseless and a conspiracy to wrongly seize all he has worked for , thereby leaving his family to suffer which is why I believe the best thing for us to do now is to secure a future for them through investment outside of Saudi Arabia..

In Saudi Arabia anyone who speaks up against the government is always a target and this is largely due to the absolute monarchy along Islamist lines system of government being practiced in the country. A lot of injustice is done without remorse because the perpetrators are the ones in charge of the power , with the victims being mostly people who speak up against the government.  I reject it and will not stand by and watch this happen, if not Mohammed Al-Qahtani and family will lose all that he has suffered for all his life.

I would like to solicit for your help to secure his funds so that we can invest it into your offshore business.
With regards to the request you will  be greatly rewarded and I believe we can do business together judging from your experience and credibility.
 
I await your earliest response so we can establish communication to secure his funds in your care otherwise the current government may succeed in their evil plot to seize all he laboured for for their personal gains to enrich themselves without any feeling of remorse for his wife and children.

My best wishes,

PaltomaaTimo
