"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!

Urgent Business Proposal



I am Sinclair Sean O'kell Gilmore,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

28,745,000.00 (Pounds) 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 confirmable

and legal documents to back up the claims will be made available to you as

soon as possible.





Our sharing ratio will be 60-40. If you are interested, get back

to me through email so that I will provide you more information about the

transaction and we can move forward.





Here is my number +447031942828.



Sincerely,





Fund Manager: Sinclair Sean O'kell Gilmore
