"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!

Fund Manager: Glen Brown
Fidelity Investments International
Oakhill House, 130 Tonbridge Rd Hildenborough
Tonbridge, Kent TN11 9DZ,
London.

I am Glen Brown 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 annual 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 £28, 745, 000, 00.(GBP) Now, I am now seeking for your
assistance if only I can trust you to stand as an Investor to receive
the fund as Annual Investment Proceeds from Fidelity Marginal Capital
Fund.

All confirm able 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. Our sharing ratio
will be 70-30. If you are interested.

Sincerely,
Glen Brown
