"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!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Dear proposed partner

I am Mr. Martin Numan the Fund Manager of Fidelity Investment International. The World Largest Fund Management Company with over 1.2Trillion Capital Investment Fund and over 900 thousand investors all over the world, Nevertheless, as The Fidelity Fund Manager, I handle all our Investor's Direct Capital Funds (financial funds).As a routine, every investor gets the percentage profit or dividend from the total cash he or she invested into the company annually.
Last year it was announced that the profit margin was 20% after calculating carefully I found out that the profit margin was 21.1% that is an excess of 1.2% on each investor so I secretly extracted 1.2% Excess Maximum Return Capital Profit (EMRCP) per annum on each of the Investor's Marginal Capital Fund and created a separate account where the total sum of the extraction was kept as an expert, the account has a value of £95,759, 000, 00.

Now, I am looking for someone who I can trust to stand as an Investor to receive the fund as Annual Investment Proceeds from Fidelity Marginal Capital Fund. All conformable and legal documents to back up the claims will be made available to you as soon as possible. Meanwhile, I have worked out the modalities and technicalities whereby the funds can be claimed in any of our 6 clearing Houses without any hitches.

At the completion of this transaction, the sharing rates shall be 50% for me, 50% for you.
Please indicate your positive interest immediately for us to proceed, remember this is absolutely confidential because my company does not know about it. Get back to me for more details.
If interested contact email: fund.manager010@yahoo.com

Thanks for Your Cooperation.

Warmest regards,
