"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!

FROM: MRS. SABRINA AUDE SHEMATSI FAMILY.
Country Democratic Republic of the Congo
THIS IS MY EMAIL ADDRESS ( mrssabrinashematsi7@gmail.com )

I was privileged to come across your contact through my personal check
with the GCC Investment Trade Real Estate Exhibition portal and I
decided that I should establish a communication with you to acquiring
some information on lucrative investment or real estate investment in
any other Part of the world. However, I will appreciate if you can be
of good assistance to me as I am willing to invest this money heavily
in the real estate investment or any other investment sector provided
I will have a good partner or investor as well as fund manager who
will guide on this business framework and as thus, share with me on
the ROI in any venture which we have considered lucrative to invest
in. I am ( MRS.SABRINA AUDE SHEMATSI) a widow the wife of Late (MR.
SOLANGE SHEMATSI FAMILY.) who was a Gold and Diamond Dealer in
Democratic Republic of the Congo.

I am contacting you based on my need to have a foreign partner in
your country as its necessary due to my plans to relocate from here
and to establish a private company under your care in your region. I
have not managed any business before but i always have a dream of
running my own company establishment hence it has been my desire to
recapitalize in the GCC market. Basically, I am married to late (MR.
SOLANGE SHEMATSI ) As the present political instability in my country
Democratic Republic of Congo, does not encourage financial investment,
as the environment is not conducive for investment and most of all
security is not insured, just as reported by international media.

Myself and my only son (MR. CHARLES JOSE SHEMATSI) have decided to
solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of USD$30. Million
United States Dollars) to your personal company or your private banks
account, pending if the fund will be safe without any problem. This
money was part of the fund secured by my late husband when he was
still in power. As the wife, he relied on me; my attention was to
manage this said amount, in case of unforeseen circumstances.

This fear was actualized on when his bodyguard, Mr. Rashed
assassinated my husband on a cold blood (May his soul rest in peace,
Amen), Presently this fund is currently deposited with a private
Security and finance company in South Africa in favors of my son, he
is presently residing as an Asylum seeker in South Africa and the
financial law of South Africa does not gives us some certain financial
right as a result of Asylum seeker, So have we decided not to invest
this fund here in Africa coupled the way this fund was acquired as
well as the pressure in my family from my husband first wife and her
son (President Joseph Desire Kabila) who is currently succeeding my
late husband as my country president?

Please do not hesitate to contact my son (MR .CHARLES JOSE SHEMATSI)
on his direct Email Address ( charlesroland20021@gmail.com ) so that
he will direct you on how we can start the transfer. AND his Number
IS+ 27 63 981 3624.

God bless you as you helps this family in dare need of your
assistance. For your assistance we have agreed to offer you 20% of the
total sum, while 70% will be for our investment in your country and
10% will be set aside to take care of all related expenses. Please
your assistance is highly needed; you are required to maintain the
most confidentiality of this transfer and Please do not forget to
Contact my son (MR. CHARLES JOSE SHEMATSI) on his above Email:
