"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!

Subject: Hello - Alerternative Financing

Dear Sir, or Madam!



We avail new and alternative project funding models to qualified clients. Here could be your project funding solution!



Renewable Energy Projects of any size

Generally we provide Debt- or Equity Funding and we focus on clean and sustainable energy projects. But we also look at any other venture guided by environmental- and social responsible investment strategies. We do not consider companies in financial distress, or if you already have used up all your financial resources. We have ready investors for projects dealing in, and/or providing renewable energy solutions. A professional business plan and due diligence by a major firm like KPMG is essential. Ask for our guidelines for a proper project presentation.



We fund projects of significant market impact with USD 200 Million and more

This unique all-in-one Leasing and Loan structure is available to qualified clients with projects of significant market impact. We provide an AAA-rated bank instrument and the loan at the same time: LTV 95%, 6.5% p.a. for up to 30 years, with early repayment option and availability from USD 200,000,000 right up to USD 50 Billion. You must have at least USD 0 in liquid cash and a profitable commercial business transaction, or a project that is environment friendly and in line with Social Responsible investment guidelines. Considered as well are financial transactions which enable high profit margins on a bank secured basis.



A Smaller Project Funding Solution

We guarantee for qualified projects starting from USD 2 Million and up. This is a solution for projects which are supported by your own bank with a relevant credit line and require collateral or securities in the form of a Bank Guarantee, a Standby Letter of Credit or Securities listed on the Bloomberg screen. You must have liquid cash reserves of at least 0 to qualify.



Request our application package for Renewable Energy funding, for all-in-one Leasing and Loan project funding or our Guarantee Program. Send an email directly by clicking reply and receive further details matching your project funding requirements.



We are expecting your reply with great interest. Brokers are welcome and protected.



Regards

Mark Cromwell
