"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!

Dear Respected One,

Aslamalaikum!

My Name is Mr Raib Abdellatif a national of Kingdom of Morocco but
presently in Marroca.

I represent a group of high profile individuals from the Middle East and
United Arab Emirates who intends to purchase big properties, and invest in
Business with a High Return on investment (ROI) around the World.

However, most of my partners do not want their identities revealed openly
or mentioned because of their privacy as rich Arabs and because of the
recent ongoing crisis within the Middle East which makes it difficult for
investors from this side.

However my partners have mandated me as their spokesperson to seek the
assistance of a good business management professional and company capable
of absorbing an initial investment sum of $300,000,000.00 into a good
business line for a start up.

As a business man and chief contract protocol officer then, I was able to
arrange the safe movement of about $300,000,000.00 ( Three hundred Million
US Dollars ) out into a safe financial institution using my contacts as a
registered contractor with the state government as investment funds.

I got your personal information and company details through our search for
company's and individuals who specialize in investments both in United
States, Asia and Europe, and behold we decided to extend our hand of
business fellowship to you trusting you will handle the needful with trust
and sincerity.

We would need your assistance as our investment partner in this high
profile investment, and to help us get secure these funds from its present
location to where you will be needing it for our future plans.

We need to be introduced to real estate owners or realtors or other high
profitable businesses such as stocks and bonds or other areas you feel will
be good.

I will be willing to discuss further on our sharing pattern and other mode
of operation once I get a favorable feed back from you through this my
private secured email: mrraibabdellatif1@gmail.com

Please keep all my correspondences absolutely confidential.

Wassallam/ Peace,

Mr Raib Abdellatif
