"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!

Partnership Funding PPF through our portfolio managers at the
Dubai International Financial Center DIFC, I am a financial
consultant and mortgage broker with over 21years experience in
the capital market, I have a referral mandate with the
facilitators of this provisional loan scheme and therefore,
soliciting for SME, public and private firms who are pursuing
capital injection for their production growth or expansion.

There are terms and conditions that qualify applicants to the
eligibility criteria and those measures are put in place to
ensure that subscribers to the PPF do not default on the
repayment of the interest on the loan and to maintain a
verifiable track record on the borrower's business operations
upon which the PLS is granted. Should you be interested to

Business Plan or Executive Summary for review and if your
